If I see issues up ahead, I tap the brakes repeatedly to make them flash a few times as a warning that, hey, I'm going to stop soon. That seems to work well and something I picked up when riding a motorcycle.

JaysonAych posted:Also, I once had a first-gen Chrysler Concorde slowly catch up to me while I was going 5 over on another 2-lane, and then he perched directly off my rear bumper, so close that I couldn't see any part of the grille or headlights. Despite numerous passing lanes for miles, he stayed right there until finally deciding to pass me. I've had cops do that to me at night on lonely country roads...

Somewhat Heroic posted:It was such a mass gathering of single people with 3 roommates and everyone with a car that by 6:30 at night the entire complex would be filled and you would have to street park sometimes 1/2 mile away! So glad to be done with that nonsense. I lived in a place kinda like that, but I was working 3rd shift, so everyone would be gone when I got home and I had plenty of choice. The worst was the one time someone decided to leave their running car stopped right behind my car as I was leaving for work. Ended up knocking on doors at midnight to find the person so they could move it. There was an open spot two spots over from me! This was also the same apartment complex where someone parked a car with four flat tires in the premium spot at the end, filled it to the brim with crap, and left it there for months...

Angled spaces confuse people, for some reason. I figure one of two things happened. Either cars on the other side pulled too far forward and these people did the best they could, or they just lined their doors up with the person next to them not realizing you're supposed to pull further forward.

What does ND use, then??? The worst salt use I've seen was two trucks going side by side up a dry hill in above freezing temperatures at least 24 hours before the forecast called for snow. I think this town has gotten over zealous after a blizzard came through a few years ago, they called on all the independent snow plow drivers to help, then stiffed them all when it came time to pay. The next year a big storm hit, no one helped the city, and we were stuck driving over packed snow on the roads for weeks while every other county managed to clear the roads within 48 hours. Now? Preemptive saltings. Woo!

some texas redneck posted:Those actually were tied down to begin with, but in seas like that, nothing is going to hold anything down. You can see cables scattered around the deck, and still attached to the car you see at the very beginning. From what I read about that video, they used a single cable to tie down a row of cars. So, it's more of a single cable breaking and a dozen cars going over.

KoRMaK posted:My driver rear tire looks the same as this. When I try to move it, it makes a terrible grinding sound. It was fine last night, now suddenly it's hosed up. So, so long 98 lumina. We had some good times. Had a car like that parked in the premium spot at my old apartment (spot on the end that was 1.5 spaces wide and perfect for my car and bike instead of taking up two regular spots) for months on end. I think 3 of the wheels were flat and the windows were taped shut. I really regret not bitching about it to the landlord.

We've crammed three adults in the back of my parents' Forester and there is always much cursing and twisting trying to find the slots for the seat belts. They're embedded in the seat some (so they fold flat when not in use) and are difficult to reach if you need to squeeze past another person's hip.

xzzy posted:Well that's why they have "incidents per X number of people" statistics. In terms of road deaths I think China is actually right in the middle of the pack worldwide. Do they count incidents versus the total population? Because I'd bet a whole hell a lot of people don't drive cars in China, which would lower the average. And that's why I generally see incidents per mile driven.

Niven posted:How mad were the people that managed to dodge the madman driving the wrong way down the highway towards them, only to have the police throw spike strips directly in front of their cars. My car from 07 does, but I turned it off. It's a manual, so the doors only unlock when you shut off the engine, which I found really annoying when I would go pick people up (kept forgetting to manually unlock). My sister's 09 mazda doesn't have this feature. Neither does my parents '11 Subaru.

The oil change on my Vulcan 500 was dead simple (filter front and center, drain right in the middle, easy to reach), though I always did it on a cold engine, so the headers weren't a worry. The coolant drain, however, was about an inch above the exhaust. There was no way to drain the coolant without it getting all over the pipe other than taking the exhaust off (no way). And it was angled forward, so it would shoot out horizontally at first, then just dribble out at the end, so you had to keep your eye on it or it would miss the drain pan.
