InterceptorV8 posted:*farts in hand and fans it at you* That fake velour IS nasty. I prefer the Cheyenne vs. Silverado anyway--I specifically want vinyl floors instead of carpet, a bench seat, I want a clutch pedal with a throw as long as the actual shifter and I want a transfer case stick that you have to pull like a MAN, drat it, not a push button. Also you can't accidentally roll down all the windows with your knee.

Huge_Midget posted:When did it ever become acceptable for people to use the center turn lane as a merge lane? Just because you might have to wait a few seconds more to safely turn left from a side street doesn't mean "Hey, I'll just use the center turn lane as my own personal acceleration lane. Somebody will let me in eventually!" No. In fact, if I see someone doing that I'll make it my own personal mission to make sure they know the fact that the center turn lane is for traffic that is already on the street trying to decelerate and turn left. I swear to god oncoming SUV, I'll play loving chicken in my shitbox 1992 Accord. And guess what motherfucker? I ain't gonna be the one that blinks. Oh I'm sorry did I inconvenience you and your mewling crotch spawn because you had to slow down for someone using the center turn lane for it's loving god given intended purpose? Good, I hope you roll that loving monstrosity and it kills your entire brood. God knows the gene pool needs a little bleach in it around here. When did it become acceptable for you to somehow become the one true anointed traffic arbiter and make an act you consider unsafe ten times worse? I hope one of the SUV's plays with you and crushes your self-righteous rear end so we get better posts in the forum.

Fucknag posted:In Florida we have the 10-20-life rule; automatic 10, 20 and 25-life sentences for pulling (or displaying I'm sure) a gun, discharging one, or shooting someone, respectively, during any criminal incident. So if the guy flashed his AK, even accidentally, and wound up punching the dude (assault), that's an automatic 10 year sentence, even before other considerations that could make it longer; the judge by state law cannot prescribe a sentence more lenient than that. Florida is stupid and has stupid laws.

rcman50166 posted:Not so much a derail when the thread is apparently referencing the people posting. My point, which I've already stated before, is that it is safer to stay in drive. God, shut up about it already. It's a boring hypothetical argument.

Had yet another fuckface go left in the roundabout in the shopping center near my house. I'm not at all ashamed to have yelled at the motherfucker through my open window loud enough to hurt my throat after he almost hit me head-on. I made him reverse out of it.

At the same roundabout I've seen 5 or 6 people go around counterclockwise, had a guy today inside the roundabout yield to every car that was waiting to enter. Fuckin' Alabama.

The illiterate, inbred morons around here have no problems with left turns, they manage to turn left onto roundabouts somewhere around half the time despite the arrows on signs, the ground, and assorted yield signs. I wish they just stacked up in turning lanes.

I'm pretty happy that Dodge, of all people, has made their newer cars so that the headlights come on with the wipers. How did it take this long for that feature to happen?

nitrogen posted:Here in Texas, we have something even stupider. We have different speed limits for cars vs trucks on some streets and freeways. Works in Europe. Trucks are speed limited and usually can't pass cars except in special zones. Makes it so there aren't miles and miles of traffic backed up because of a 65.99 to 66 mph drag race that goes on for 10 miles.

As far as gutless vehicles to learn on, one of the first cars I drove was a 1980's Isuzu I-mark diesel with 51 horsepower. Slip the clutch however you like, it wouldn't even try to bark the 155/80 tires. It was like a Beetle with a heater that worked. Probably just as unsafe, too. wallaka fucked around with this message at 18:00 on Dec 14, 2015 |

Top Hats Monthly posted:Don't you live in Alabama or am I thinking of someone else. I accidentally emptyquoted, had to type something. Think I'm gonna uninstall SALR. I freely admit that Alabama is the 49th-worst state. Maybe the 48th depending on how terribly Arkansas and Louisiana are doing in a particular year.

kastein posted:I love doing this to ratty hosed up ricer crapcans. I scared one badly in my XJ on 235/75R15 mud tires (I think his suspension was loving wrecked with ebay bullshit or cut springs) and do it regularly in my forester rolling on (until a few months ago, when the struts got truly scary and I had to actually drive it as slow in corners as most people do) well used 200k+ mile stock suspension. The one I particularly remember in my XJ was great, I had just finished putting the tires on and went to my normal skidpad cloverleaf to test them out. After a half dozen loops around I pretty much knew where the limits were when a fart cannoned shitbox with crappy HIDs crawled up my rearend going into the ramp, so I just stayed at the limit. I saw a lot of swerving and panic brake dipping and after that I'm not really sure because he was too far back to see around the corner anymore. There's a descending radius 270° off-ramp on my commute that I do this to people on when they're tailgating. The first 100 feet aren't bad, but it tightens in a hurry after that.

PT6A posted:Or you could just back in instead of out and then you'll have good visibility for when you're pulling into traffic. When I'm in that 6-foot tall box canyon of SUV's it doesn't matter which way I leave the parking space, I can't see poo poo to the side until 4 feet of the car is in the aisle.

Dick Trauma posted:So that's intentional? I see that all the time and wonder when the hell the driver is going to start reversing. It's called "approach lighting" and is trivially easy to disable if you scroll through the car's settings but people are dumb.

nsaP posted:So if someone parks so close to me that I can only get out with many maneuvers that include touching bumpers (not scraping along the sides), what am I supposed to do? Wait until the person who can’t park correctly comes back to their car? Yes. Just wait calmly for possibly hours until the person who boxed you in comes back, obviously. You absolute idiot.

Phanatic posted:I've noticed more people asymptotically approaching red lights. I mean, they don't pull up to them at stop like a reasonable person, they start slowing down at a big distance to it and then go slower and slower as they get closer to the stop bar. Why are you wasting gasoline and wearing your brakes faster for no reason? Coast down like a normal person. My mother will enthusiastically accelerate towards a red light and it drives me crazy.
