I considered a #3, but it should go without saying that I don't give a fuck how fast "they" want to go, for any reason.

I think a lot of people don't have a good mental perspective. I was driving with a friend once who started bitching about how the guy behind her was tailgating her, and I pointed out that she was closer to the car in front of her than that guy was to her. She didn't believe me, and we argued about it until later that day we did an experiment with parked cars, and she realized how close she'd been driving to everyone else.

On that note: according to George Carlin, anyone driving faster than you is a maniac, and anyone driving slower than you is a moron.

Well, I have to admit that I do tailgate sometimes, but it's usually in response to people 'cruising' in the passing lane. They piss me off, especially as they're usually going under speed and there are signs at the side of the road saying 'keep left unless overtaking' (as opposed to keep right for you lot I guess).
Unless people are willing to follow the road rules, they should not be on the road.

I tailgate the living shit out of some people. Specifically, the fucktards that blow a stop sign so they have time to pull out in front of me. You wanna be in front of me that bad? Fine, I'm in your trunk. Jerk.

I think its often an external locus of control thing. The tailgater is using you to choose speed. They don't want to be in control of their vehicle.
I also get very pissed at fly up to the intersection, jam on the brakes, and roll into the lane guy. Some of us are trying to get home without a coffin asswipe.

I like to have Ice cold Yeungling Lager, and Burritos. Never did like the souflaki, or the creepy Greek guys that sell it. Brots are kinda gross, and the chicken is always undercooked or burnt.
The Dead shows were the best. Veggie Bagels, hackey sack, nitrous, reefer smoke everywhere. man, how you gonna beat that?
