[V8] Who's 4.2 V8, Ohio plate FMZ 3694

Well the situation went like this....
 
 Moderately heavy traffic, three lanes each direction. I'm traveling  the 
right lane with a car in the middle lane maybe 20ft ahead moving about the  
same speed and a line of cars in the left lane. I see the V8 coming down the  
middle lane well above the speed limit. I think, what does he think he's 
going  to do? Then it was "sh*t, he's going to try getting between me and that 
car." I  come off the throttle to ride the jakes and apply brake... and 
didn't even get  to reach the brake. He darted between us and I seriously 
thought he was going to  catch my bumper. I literally lost sight of everything 
except his hood. My  bumper isnt one of these modern plastic or thin aluminum 
things, its 12 gauge  steel, boxed ends, and 18" tall. Had he caught it he 
would have wrapped around  the nose of my truck. 
 
 After he cleared me he charged up on another truck in the right  lane and 
then darted between two trucks traveling the center lane. The  rear truck 
was a "covered wagon" (flatbed with a sidekit). The covered wagon  locked his 
brakes and he happened to be on a very rough section of the wonderful  MI 
highway. The combo of air ride, locked brakes, and rough road made the  
trailer buck and whip.... and that is how you get a pair of 15,000lb rated  chains 
to snap and a suicide loaded 23 ton coil of steel shifting.
 
 How few 4.2 V8's there are and how high a percentage are in the hands  of 
members of Audifans, Audiworld, and Motorgeek is why I was hoping I could  
track down the driver. I know a couple of truck drivers and a trucking 
company  that would love to have a chat with him.

I  thought the west coast drivers where bad till I moved back to
Cleveland a  few months ago. Big rigs aren't anything to fool with.
Ironic considering  how few there are and that it was in front of  you.
