Back in 97 when I was stationed in Germany, a buddy and I were taking the long way back from picking up a bunch of training aids. We were driving on the autobhan in his fairly quick 318i doing about 170kph when some dickhead in an Opel Cadet cuts out in front of us going half as fast. After nearly locking up the tires, my buddy went right to riding his ass and flashing the high beams. The gobbler just stays out in front of us with no traffic in the right lane. Finally out of frustration we pass the guy on the right (illegal in GE) and leave the guy behind.

A few miles later we hit our exit and to our suprise the guy was behind us on the exit ramp. For the next few miles this guy keeps riding our ass, honking his horn and trying to get in front of us but the 318 had ample power to keep him from passing. Finally, we hit a stop light and the dude pulls up next to us (in the oncoming lane no less) and pulls out a goddamn hand grenade and starts waving it at us. (we assumed it was a dummy but still...) I then rememberd that among all the crap we had in the back seat were a couple dummy LAWS rockets. They were marked with blue stripes (meaning dummy munitions) and were wide open front to back but that didn't matter. The next thing the guy saw was me pulling the LAWS from the back seat, extending the tube then raising it to my shoulder. It must have looked pretty impressive because he dropped the grenade on the seat and ran the damn light. :)

If this hadn't happened to me, I would have thought the story was total bullshit but it really did happen.
