Just another rotten entitled *****... This guy had incredible patience and handled the situation with a lot of class, always keeping his kids in mind. Stupid *** should have just moved her car if she was bothered and minded her own damn business.

stuff like that happens all the time to me. i've been yelled at and cussed out many times for blocking the roadway... with my FIRETRUCK! i had one woman cuss me for five mins straight because we had a structure fire (house fire) and i was blocking the road way because we had firehose laid from the hydrant across the road and you can't drive across it because it might damage the hose and if it fails we lose water and it puts the men inside the house in extreme danger... well she couldn't get to her house and thought it would help the situation to cuss me.

ykydaxjw you would love to turn that womans prius into a "obstacle"..."Babe? Can you spot me?" haha...

For what it's worth, my BFG A/T's at half tread work fine in the rain... I don't ever remember a problem, but I have pretty tame road habits so I'm not gunning it from every stop or taking turns at twice the recommended speed either, so...

They're OK in snow. I've never lost control or got stuck, but it's definitely a white knuckle ride.

My BFG at's love to slide when you hit the breaks in the rain and I'm not driving wrecklessly by any stretch. They weren't bad for me but I don't think I'd get them again. Wanted something more agressive anyway.

Strange... I have the BFG at's now and hey work wqy better than any other tire i've had in the rain. To put it in context, we average anywhere from 20-40" of rain a month.

Glad you've had better luck with yours then i have with mine. I attribute it to the fact that it doesn't always rain back home or where I'm currently stationed so oil builds up on the roads so when it finally does rain things are slicker then they nornally would be if my tires were just working with rain instead of rain and oily crap.

You can add another one to that. Those were the worst tire I've ever owned. They did nice burnouts though and lasted a LONG time. I hated the fact that they lasted so long because I wanted to get rid of them. I did burnouts 3-4 times a week with those and I still ended up just buying new tires and selling the bfg's because they still had good tread.

i would have told her i was fearing for my life cause she was threatening me with a pen. then i would have used lethal force. lol

ok not really but i would have thrown it up on the dashboard and asked her to leave me alone. or since i have no muffler id run ol'dixie up to 2k rpm and sit there.
