I hate indoor tracks, always an rear end in a top hat willing to gently caress up your lines and push you, even when the rules are clear about undercutting. On outdoor tracks, the speed is usually high enough and/or enough space to pass without ramming; smells better, too. Edit: VV those fuckers will get you ever time you're trying to apex a corner

My gripe with go-kart tracks is the one rear end in a top hat who's always trying to drift the corners and comes to a near dead-stop, completely loving up your line. Usually a pain in the rear end to pass too.

Honestly though, the ones who buy the GAS ones are even worse. And these are most often the people that bitch about fuel prices, and they generally own a Tahoe/Suburban as their family DD.

Then they crash causing huge pileups because they had to beat their kids at 70mph, while updating twitter, drinking a Latte', cranking their vibrator on 11, and swerving to cut off that guy in the shitbox. Pretty sure I've hauled more cargo on a motorcycle than most of their trucks.

Here's a new failure. I received a piece of assemble-yourself furniture and one of the bolts wouldn't start. I hit it with a wrench and it felt like it was cross-threading, so I took it out and tried a different bolt. That one worked perfectly, but the first bolt wouldn't. I filed off the munged bits of the threads at the end and noticed something strange. The bolt isn't threaded. It's got rings on it, not threads. If you try to trace a thread around, you end up at the same spot. Spinning the bolt around is so bizarre. The "threads" tilt up on one side and down on the other. Of course I don't have a tap the correct size to fix this thing.

My friend and I (who was from my squadron) were in a bit of a battle for position (even though we shouldn't have been; we were 16, stupid and unhindered by any kind of adult supervision) and going into a sharp right-hander, he came inside on me and I pretty much drove over his left front, pitching me into the air, kind of like Damon Hill off Michael Schumacher in Adelaide. Needless to say the attendants didn't take kindly to our antics, so they banned us permanently.

Safety Dance posted:Are D35s dangerous for light offroading if I keep stock tire size and suspension? I refuse to say yes or no, but I know people who claim they have "beat the piss out of them" for years on 32s without a failure, and other people who have nuked one on 32s doing a U-turn on a gravel road. And one friend of mine put the spider gears through the diff cover of his dana 35 pulling out of his driveway on stock tires. Your call.

It's clearly a Jeep. A Grand Cherokee, I think? Did he ever pick up his iPhone? I thought he did when I watched it before, but watching it again, I don't see him picking it up.

The original Wrangler in its stock form couldnt do a lot of things very well, but driving through retarded amounts of snow is definitely a skill it excelled at. Of course now everything is all electronic and this idiot never read the manual.

An OG metro could clear that much snow if you had a competent driver behind the wheel. It's mostly not about the car, but the driver.
