Default Jerk in an S5

Being in Houston, I haven't seen many A5's, let alone S5's "in the wild" as it were. The other day (friday the 27th) I finally saw a grey (not sure the exact color name) S5 on Memorial tailgating and swerving in and out of cars in heavy traffic. Just generally being the jerk no one wants behind or around them on crowded streets. He must have been about 20 inches off my back bumper and I was tempted to slam on my breaks and let him plow into the back of my Hummer (current car before I pick up the A5).

Hopefully that wasn't anyone here (I'm sure it wasn't) since we all care too much about our A5's/S5's to chance damaging them, but he makes a bad impression for the rest of us Audi drivers. Hopefully he'll learn his lesson.

I'd have to admit, this car makes me drive like a Jerk sometimes...

Ya, but to the point that you'd chance damaging it?

Default Unfortunately, jerks drive all...

...model vehicles. This past winter, a jerk drove and cut me off several times in snowy conditions and damn near ran me off the road. I was pi**ed-off. He was driving a Hummer.

You could classify the S5 as a pe...s extender.

Default Pales in comparison to the four teenagers in Daddy's G37 Coupe

who sat on my bumper while driving yesterday. They're laughing their a$$ off having the time of their lives as they debate whether to pass me on a 30MPH stretch of pavement (double yellow / residential area). Was so tempted to brakejob them but didn't want to hurt my baby!

Was I really that stupid and irresponsible when I was their age???

Regards,

Derek

No, I'm always in control, but I do use cars as cones sometimes...

Default Sad but true

But a lot of the really really bad drivers here in California tend to drive trucks and SUVs which makes it especially dangerous.
