Well first of all....these gangstas were Hispanic, which is what I associate when I think of the word gangsta. I was just using monkey as a colorful adjective, but I can think of what that connotation would have meant if I lived in Atlanta and not West Texas. But my reasoning is that if you act like an animal than...pickle you if I hurt your feelings when describing you!

Second, the night wasn't ending how I envisioned with the ladies....but you win some & you lose some (and thats what I get for messing with an ex).

Third, if one of those little bastards had gotten run over, I could have said he was carjacking me. I would have loved to hear them tell their version of the story to police. And I wasn't impaired to the point that I didn't have a keen awareness of their location (I am NOT denting my Jeep).

Fourth, I am an old man (35)...I don't get drunk - a nice buzz, but not drunk. By the time police would have arrived, sorted out the mess, asked for a DUI test - I would have been stone cold sober. Plus, I would have insisted on a blood test at the station (another 45 min to an hour delay & my legal right). Yes, i know that seems like a lot of trouble, but this old salt has learned that YOU NEVER let your guard down with anything in life and that you afford yourself EVERY SINGLE OPTION AVAILABLE to you at the time.

Finally, the stock pizza cutters 225/75R16s really did a great job drifting! Seriously! I was pleasantly surprised. Plus I need an excuse to buy new tires anyways.

I actually haven't dropped a dime on my JK and I have had her for a year. She does great offroad.

But I have been thinking of getting a RUBI. I travel alot and need a road trip ready vehicle. If I put money into the X I might go over board and make her roadtrip unfriendly. Plus, I want satellite radio, cruise control, GPS, and power windows etc...stuff I don't have on the X.

You handled it better than me either I would have busted a cap or run someone over intentionally. By what you have said I think you are from Texas and am suprised you did not do the same. Also the laws governing what response would have been allowed from you are less restrictive and you might not even spent any time in jail or court over this one.

I would have rather gotten into a fight...more gratifying. But like that comedian said, "I didn't know how many of them it was gonna take to kick my arse, but I knew how many they were gonna use!"
