WHY do you tailgate on the Freeway?

Personally I don't tailgate on the free way, I usually just tailgate in the parking lot of the stadium. My guess is that the people doing are Nascar fans that cannot afford to go to the races so they did the next best thing. Watch speeding cars from the tailgate of their pickup, while enjoying hot dogs and Spam, and a couple cold ones, while watching Nascar on the battery powered TV.

TAILGATERS are TWO remember? 1. One who's late to work and need to get there quickly but like someone already said a useless idiot in front of him who thinks they built the road for him. 2. Immature kid who's daddy couldn't find a better way to invest those extra dollars.

An idiot in his mommy's green van was being what he can be best today, an IDIOT. I was late for work. He saw me coming closer to him quickly, so he decided to stroll, it turned red. I said FINE. Turned green, he was on park, i said FINE again. 3 seconds later, I started losing it, I honked a short one. He barely moved to the next light. It was red, waited, turned green, looks like he is doing it on purpose, so he got that 5 seconds honk and he gave me the middle finger, still on PARK, I came as close as 2 inches to his car he moved, he started playing with his breaks so I completely lost it and followed him with speed. No one in front of him and going 20 mph, that was the limit I put my foot on it and tried to pass him but he came and blocked me, so I played games with him until I almost hit his rear (thx god I had good breaks). He stopped and came out, he got lucky with it I was late to work, the idiot couldn't say tailgating properly i thought he was saying why are you "gay talking me".

Such a pet peeve of mine, especially after being rear-ended three times in two years!

Because I want to go faster. And in order to go faster, the idiot in front of me needs to get out of my way. Duh.
