    Parked across the street from the Peelot in New Albany, MS

    This has to be one of those days for the record books.

    It started with Arkansas routing me on roads that were laid out by a drunken Arkansas ####### (mule). Then in Hot Springs I get a moron who tries to crowd his way into my lane getting my bumper flag wedged between the cab and bed on his pickup and breaking it off at the spring.

    Then after the whole Memphis mess I get rolling down 78 and about the 18 mm I was out in the left lane passing another truck. This little white Ford Fiesta (or something of that type of older 2 door compact) tries to pass on the right and fails, he then attempts to wedge himself between my wing and my rear escort but she holds her ground so he cuts the vehicle behind her off and literally runs against her bumper till we move over. Then he races up along side her and starts waving A GUN out the passenger window at her. He then comes alongside me, gun waving so I backed off and he gets in front of me then with his left hand puts the gun out the drivers window holding it over the top of the car waving it back at me. By this time both myself and the rear escort are on the phone with 911 then he pulls away, waves his gun some more at my front pilot and finally exits at the 26 and turns north.

    What a ******* day!!!

    what a (insert censored word later) ! Did you get the plate number ? I'd pay money just to hear exactly what that guy was thinking. Do people just assume trucks are supposed to yield to vehicles behind them now ? Why do they think you have all those banners and flags and lights and escort anyways ? It's kind of so people don't pass until it's safe to do so, right ?

    Top Dawg is the brand. Sapp's in Omaha had them on sale for $79.99 so I got me and Jason one. Seems to work fine, has its glitches but is clear when reviews on a laptop etc
