Oh oh oh, I learned more after the motor was pulled. Turns out a "Ford guy" needs to go back and learn what parts go on a manual transmission car and what parts go on an automatic car. Wow...

05-10 are a lot better looking cars than the 10-14 in my humble opinion.  When I saw the '05 on the road for the 1st time my jaw literally dropped..  I had to have one.

Yeah, the '05-'10's look close to the tail lights of my favorite year Mustangs, the 1970...


(it's the wife's '05)

Well, I went and bought the wife a 2005 Mustang to make up for my buying my 2012 Focus without talking to her first. We shall see who gets a speeding ticket first :rollin:

This is exactly like those antics.  Knowledge of cars not withstanding.  You sidestepped the important part of my post, and changed course without dealing with what i said.  You just continue with insults, and will not engage me in the statements i made, just continue arguing why you think you are right and he is wrong.  Pointless in going further with you.

Hey Scott, we just got rid of the Renzo know it all antics.  You taking lessons?  Why does a post that stirs opinions and debate have to be degraded to insults instead perhaps just offering a different thought or opinion?  I so often say its the messenger and not the message that prevents the ideas from being received by another person.    "So much fail in this story".........is that helpful in any way other than trying to bait someone?  I PM'ed Beau and shared a few ideas with him about his handling and he was very gracious and receptive, and furthermore is a very insightful and intelligent guy.  We often do things or say things in the heat of the moment that can cloud our perspective or judgement, and comments like your calling him a "tool" certainly don't serve any purpose other than to incite another person.    I saw nothing helpful in the way you presented your thoughts other than to inflame and insult a pretty nice guy.  Just my 2 cents.    Courtesy is king here, and trumps all, its why this forum is such a cool place full of generally nice, helpful people.
1) I like that :-)
2) I offered my opinion of the original subject of the thread and never tossed insults at anyone
3) Could I have offered more than my "so much fail etc etc" reply? Sure, I could have.
4) eh, whatever
5) I never called the dude a "tool." Read my reply again :-)
6) I would like to be a jerk and ask if you'd like me to pm you my replies to posts from now on, but that's an asinine and otherwise useless reply. I stand by my replies and the way I presented my thoughts. Will I think out the next reply a bit better? Probably. Do I retract the ones I have made? Nope.


To Beau... chill out and pay attention in parking lots (and everywhere) bud. The next clown you go blowing the horn at and your wife starts giving the middle finger to could be past the point of being an idiot and take it out on y'all. You never know who's behind the wheel of the other car, so just take their actions as you would want them to take yours.

I would much rather not deal with stupid people any longer than I have to, and laying "on the horn like it was an air raid siren and we were in Berlin in April '45," probably isn't the way to go about it. I know if I effed up and back out into somebody's way, I would sure like a courteous blow (or two) of the horn than foolishness.

I don't know jack about cars, so I am safe from being in Renzo territory, but I can call a spade a spade when I see it. I saw nothing in the original post that stirred opinion or debate, just someone looking to have their ego stroked. At least that's the way I saw it. My opinion, if you will. If you look, I never called the guy a tool, just said his actions were similar to those of one.

thunderjet had the right idea :-)

Your original post sure makes it sound like you and your like-tempered wife did a fine job of escalating an otherwise non-event before you were so rudely flipped off and followed...

The wife, the baby, our daughter, and I were at wal mart yesterday for a few things, and as if that wasn't bad enough, being in wal mart during the day when the animals are out and about, when we were leaving (in the Mountaineer), I about got hit.

I'd already backed out of my spot, and actually forward when some  in a newer dodge SUV just backed out right in front of me. Of course since I've started to cut down on soda, I've been drinking coffee as a caffeine substitute, and at that time of day, most of a pot of coffee sloshing around in my system, I was edgy, alert, and nerves stretched tight as fiddle strings.

So this ass slurp just starts backing out, I threw the Mounty in rewind and hit the gas hard enough to break the hides loose (front driveshaft is out, it's normally AWD, but now is RWD) and at the same time, I laid on the horn like it was an air raid siren and we were in Berlin in April '45.

The sombitch in the dodge actually had the balls to stop...and when he opened his door, I yelled out my window "you'd best not get out asshole!".

Meanwhile my wife, who is about as hot tempered as I am started yelling at the guy to effing move and flipping him off. He started flipping us off in return, and then pulled off to the side of the low where there weren't any cars as if he expected e to follow him. Since I carry, I deemed it best to leave and de-escalate the situation a little, but then, when i pulled out, he darted out behind me and started following me, staying back about 2 car lengths.

Maybe next time you should just chalk somebody else's actions as a mistake and move on from there. Maybe if you'd have been paying a bit more attention to what was going on in the parking lot, you would have slowed down, or even stopped, when you seen the guy starting to back out.

You don't know what the hell other people will do anymore.
You laid on the horn like a tool and it backfired on you. Maybe think a little more about what you said in your original post before y'all let your road rage out on somebody.
