El Paso drivers have done it again. Just when you thought the city’s driving habits couldn't get any worse, two local men in the Lower Valley proved that some people will go to any length to settle their differences—by turning their vehicles into battering rams. FitFam was sent the video and it took no time at all before it took off over the Texas airwaves.

A Masterclass in Poor Decision-Making

The video of this clash, which has since gone viral, starts with a scene straight out of an action movie—except the only special effects are broken glass and terrible life choices. A white truck and a black car are already looking like they went through a demolition derby, and the drivers? Well, they’re busy upgrading the situation from a simple fender bender to Mad Max: Lower Valley Drift.

First up, we have the truck driver, walking away from the black car while casually holding a big stick like he’s about to reenact a medieval battle. Meanwhile, the car’s driver isn’t one to back down—he circles the truck with a tire iron in hand, ready to return the favor. In a moment of poetic justice (or complete idiocy), he smashes the truck’s window.

Vehicular Smackdown Begins

At this point, the truck driver decides that words (and sticks) aren’t enough—so he hops in his truck and rams the black car. Once. Then again. Because why stop at just one felony?

Not to be outdone, the car driver makes one last defiant move, sideswiping the truck before peeling off into the distance. The truck driver, meanwhile, abandons his vehicle and runs toward the apartments, likely to rethink every decision that led to this moment.

El Paso Drivers: Somehow Still the Worst

 

Let’s be honest—El Paso drivers already have a legendary reputation. Blinking turn signals are seen as optional, stop signs are treated like vague suggestions, and merging? Good luck with that. But this incident takes things to an entirely new level.

We’ve all seen bad driving in this city, but these guys really said, "What if we just skip insurance claims and go straight to total destruction?" Congratulations, gentlemen. You’ve managed to make El Paso traffic look even worse than it already is. Lucky for us, these guys contained it to a parking lot.

Moral of the story? Maybe just honk and move on next time. Your car (and your dignity) will thank you.
