Funny! I posted the message then got the "something's wrong" message. 
this is what was supposed to be at the top:

I'm down here in the Clermont Florida area for a while. I went on a bike ride and an older Dodge P/U  passed by then slowed a bit, then gunned it. There was some smoke, but it wasn't really much (he had a single stack up through the bed, so the pipe was probably 6' high). There was no other traffic around except for me and him.

But a real nice ride and every other car that passed by was very careful to give a lot of room.
I could get used to this weather in January.

Gaslighting.  Seems to be a pretty popular term.  I am pretty sure most people use it in-appropriately (seems to be used instead of something like "deceiving").  Seems to be the new "Ironic", which is very consistently miss-used.  (of course... words mean what people think they mean....)

 

Gaselighting: Psychological manipulation of a person usually over an extended period of time that causes the victim to question the validity of their own thoughts, perception of reality, or memories and typically leads to confusion, loss of confidence and self-esteem, uncertainty of one's emotional or mental stability, and a dependency on the perpetrator

I think "weak attempt" might be a good definition.  The driver probably didn't realize you really need to do some mods to truly be as obnoxious as they apparently where trying to be.

You'll need to log in to post.
