Default Wow, hate on Lexus drivers

I've posted before about problems like this. Last time some dude in a jacked up F350 rammed me merging onto the freeway ($2000 damage, and he did it on purpose). A few days back I was minding my own business in the front of a turn lane off a local freeway. Made the turn and started heading up the road at near the speed limit of 35 (I was probably doing 40). I look back and I have a Chevy pickup with 2 young "punk" looking dudes in it ridding my butt. Long story short, they guys start getting aggressive so I switch to "avoidance" mode and actually start turning onto roads I don’t need to be traveling on (more roundabout way to get home), they start following me around. Of course I’m using the superior advantage of speed to stay in front of them (not even allowing them to get next to me on 2 lane roads). They are clearly disgruntled behind me. At one point I thought they were going strait as I turned right onto a freeway. I turned onto a freeway, traveled 5 miles down in and got in a turn lane off thinking they were long gone. Took the turn and next thing I know they had indeed decided to follow me and had gotten next to me at high rate and slammed over in front of me, spitting on the car as they did.

Funny, I really have no idea what caused this considering we were all in rush hour traffic in almost the entire event.

Friggen weird.

Had I seen them following me on that longer route, I would have dialed 911 on my cell.

is it possible you used your superior speed and accidentally cut them off? I find it odd that people would do that for no reason. But that sucks that it did happen.

I traded my Tundra in for my 350, and I swear now that I drive a car, I get home every day and I look all around my car for a huge sticker that says, "PLEASE CUT ME OFF!"

You should have driven to the nearest police station and have the stalkers arrested......

road rage is all round you. the best thing to do is not pay attention to them. when you run, you challenge them. they will respond in kind to your "challenge" and it might turn ugly. i'm pretty sure you didn't just outrun them, more like a road race, huh?

Wow, that's worse than my Bimmer incident. A guy in a white 07 3 series challenged me on the 101. Really bad idea though, but I beat him. He resorted to flipping me off and cutting in front of me, along with honking and almost taking out my front right bumper and some old couple in a Benz. Some people are just ridic.
