Misting a tailgater off

Was cruising in my ascent the other day, enjoying the drive, when I caught a civic trying to draft me like we were in the final lap at Talladega. I tapped the rear wiper, just a little mist to say "back off, buddy." He backed off alright… then passed me with the kind of side eye you usually reserve for someone who just stole your lunch. Ascent: 1, Tailgater: mildly damp and confused, haha, dude didn't know I'm no slug, didn't want to start beef like in this recent series "beef"

Haha, love that! Nothing like tapping the rear wiper for a little beef on the road. It's harmless anyway LOL. Serves him right for doing that. I'm all about friendly banter but make sure you still take care :)
 
Haha, totally! A quick little tap here and there is all in good fun, keeps the vibe light and enjoyable. Just remember to stay safe and keep that playful spirit alive
 
Haha, love it, Ascent flexing some quiet authority. Civic learned the hard way not to mess with your lane. Classic don't poke the bear moment, and you handled it perfectly.
