I hate to rant but...
So I was cruising down 880 yesterday heading towards Berkeley to see my girlfriend before going back to school. The time was probably around 8:30-9:00 pm. I'm driving 65 in the slow lane, trying to save some gas, when I come across a car merging onto the freeway. Seeing as how the car was picking up speed, I slowed down to about 60 mph to let him through. The merging car, for some unknown reasons, also decided to hit the breaks and slow down right before entering the freeway, having a couple cars behind me and not wanting to cause any problems, I sped up to go in front.
Everything seems fine and dandy until the car which has now merged in behind me started to flash their high beams at me. Confused, but not really annoyed seeing as how the cars high beams were barely any brighter than its normal beams, I did nothing and just continued cruising. The car then changed lanes, did a fly by while cutting me off. Amused, not really surprised, and not wanting to be break checked, I switched lanes and dropped it in fifth in order to catch up to the speed of traffic in the middle lane. I tried to get into the fast lane but there were too many cars that didn't allow me to merge.
By the point I'm pulling up close to him I'm going about 70mph while the slow lane is going 60-65mph. However, as the front half my car is next to the back half of his car, swerves hard into my lane. THANK GOD FOR AWD AND QUICK SPOOLING. I was forced to smash the gas and swerve into the left hand lane. The man then proceeded to take off in the right hand side emergency lane cutting off multiple cars. I think I later saw that car get off the exit I have taken once before to get to the In n Out in oakland, though not entirely sure.
All I have to say is thank god for Subaru and AWD.

She attends UC Berkeley. I was actually pretty disappointed in my car recognizing skills. I'm really bad with American cars. Ford, green, coupe? Not even sure if it was a ford, thats really all I got out of it :/
