Endangering the lives of yourself and others because someone is a little rude is not acceptable.
Slowing down because someone is tailgating you is fine, but dont speed up when they pass.

Ive had someone speed up while I was passing them... I decided to have a little retribution.
I got behind them turned on my highbeams, my four ways, and held my horn on until the next passing lane.
They didnt speed up again.

Where I live there are VERY few roads with legal passing lanes. If somebody is driving like a jerk and are going to try and pass me in the opposite lane of traffic while i am doing the speed limit (give or take 5mph) than I'd rather not let them pass me. I would never not let somebody pass me to the point where it would cause an accident. If somebody were to run their car off the road while trying to pass me (again, who is doing the speed limit) than good for them, they should have thought about that before they tried passing me. I'd rather that one Guy run his car off the road than have him take out a family of four further up the road who were doing nothing wrong just because he was doing 80 in a 45 instead of staying behind me doing 45-50.

I don't block everybody from passing me, but if you are riding my bumper for no apparent reason and driving like a jerk, than I will deny you the pass. I have taken several defensive and offensive driving classes and am EVOC certified, I know how to control my vehicle.


Back on topic......

Definitely not. That's just another reason I don't like driving my rig in the rain. I wash my rig often in the winter because I daily drive it and don't want all that road salt sitting on it. The only problem is I have to turn off the water to the garage so the pipes don't freeze. This leaves me with the option of automatic car washes. They are THE WORST when it comes to getting you wet... that pressurized water kicks my butt inside the Jeep lol.

Both of my front doors leak at the exact same spot and both have brand new door seals. They both leak about 2-3 inches back from the top front corner.
