Several years ago the exact same thing happened on a holiday weekend. There was a scuffle, good thing it didn't escalate this time.

I've been in many of those situations where someone who came in late decides they were in first and aren't going to budge. My typical response is: "I live ten minutes from here so let's see who gives up first." I've never had to back out when I or the cars in front of me got in the tunnel first.milspecmark wrote:So my buddy Vince was waiting to go through Nada tunnel yesterday. A few cars came through as it was very busy there. He looked to see that is was clear and began his drive through the tunnel. When he got halfway through the tunnel he saw a car with one headlight out enter the tunnel and it was driving towards him. Vince had about 5 cars behind him so he kept on driving through. Eventually he came to a halt as he met the driver head on at about 70% of the way through. The guy with the headlight out was in some kind of dune buggy with no doors or top on it. He just sat there. and waited....Eventually the 2 or 3 cars behind him must of realized that they did not have the right away just based on the position they were stopped in the tunnel so they backed out of the tunnel. Dune buggy dude just procedes to sit there. At this point there are now 10 or 12 cars behind Vince honking horns etc. Eventually the guy in the car behind Vince approaches the Dune buggy, "Hey man whats wrong? Is your reverse Broken?" This guy in the dune buggy responds "I was here first and I'm not moving!" He literally decided to just not move no matter how hard the guy behind Vince (Who i think his name was Joe) kept heckling him and trying to convince him to move. At this point it has been at least 15 minutes and Vince and many others are wondering about the effects of carbon monoxide in the tunnel and this guy was not budging. Joe starting walking back and informing the 15 cars they the guy was an ass and was not going to back out. Each of the 15 cars had to back up and clear a path for dune buggy dude. All this was going on and Joe decided to start moving pebbles out of the way for dune buggy dude. "Here ya go, you get your way now" as he moved every stick and pebble out of the way. People were clapping and thanking Joe the entire time and just scoffing at the guy in the Dune buggy dude and he drove through his Nada tunnel drive of shame. Lol, not climbing related but I thought it was funny
