Earlier this year I was driving I-35 South bound in Texas, just shy of a Cabela's in Buda, Texas. Heavy traffic, around 4:00 pm, I saw an opening in traffic and moved over next lane, but shortly thereafter some nutcase started leaning on his horn behind me, then pulled up alongside me and rammed me, into my passenger side wheel well-fender.

He was driving a relatively new battleship gray Ford Maverick. I tried to get a photo of his license plate but too grainy, definitely not Texas plates though.

In all my years I never experienced an angry driver ramming me, that took the cake.
