my 240 has an 8.3m turning circle, which is better than both the E30's I've had AND the Miata.

blk posted:I was driving home yesterday behind a new Malibu and the driver flicked his cigarette out the window. I stopped and picked up the butt, then caught up with him (long, straight street with no turn offs) and followed the remaining 1/2 mile until he stopped at a long light. I got out and knocked on his window, which he rolled down, and told him "Don't do it again," before flicking his own butt in his face. He was too shocked to say anything; nobody else was around so I turned around behind him and went home. If I had been behind the person who threw a butt out their window and started a grass fire right outside my heavily forested town (in sunny, tinder-dry northern California), I would definitely consider doing that, except maybe replace the sweet line and flick with running them off the road, hauling them out of their car, and beating the poo poo out of them

My favorite thing about Volvos is the fact that Volvo did the intelligent thing and made it so that the headlights turn off when you turn the car off, so you can just leave the switch on forever. My mom's CR-V just beeps loudly at you when you take the key out with the headlights on. Why?!

today I was in the left lane of a 4-lane divided street, and someone in an orange Mazda5 decided to attempt to either pull into my lane (from a gas station on the right) or across both lanes into a left turn lane, without looking. then after I had to slam on my brakes and my horn they caught up with me at the next light and gunned it to get in front of me when it turned green. I don't get it. Do they think what they avoid seeing can't hurt them? Is that why they don't loving look?

Nothing like leaving early to try to get to work on time for once, getting stuck behind an 80s Civic going 35 in a 40 zone, and because of this getting to the turnoff onto the only road (2-lane undivided) into town just in time to watch a big truck full of dirt go past going 20 under the speed limit with two dozen cars stacked up behind it  he maintained this slow speed all the way into and through the first several towns. I took the long, slow route and managed to get in front of him at a light. why wouldn't he pull out??

I'm the third or fourth blue oval on the top left. everyone is waiting. the two lanes going left at the top is the main route west into the rest of the county. the other ones lead to other west and south. parking is on the right (north). nobody is parked. rear end in a top hat #1 discovers this miraculous new lane, leaves the line, and attempts to overtake us all to the traffic light, since nobody is using it. he rapidly discovers that this is not, in fact, a lane, and causes a traffic jam attempting to wedge himself in as the light turns green. rear end in a top hat #2, not to be daunted, follows him through the parking and worsens the jam. I wish I'd been quick-thinking enough when I saw the first guy pull out to pull halfway into the parking lane.

ValleyGirl posted:Well, I was westbound toward Superior at the time with the cruise control set at 95 mph, when suddenly out of nowhere... Momma bear runs across the road, followed by 3 cubs. I am standing on the brake pedal trying to stop in time - because I know that if I hit one of them, Momma will be very upset. I managed to stop with maybe 10 feet to spare. Had I hit one, I'm not sure my Kahr PM40 which I was carrying at the time would have been adequate to stop the mother bear. Whew. Lucky. So you thought about using your Kahr to remove the danger but not your Car to remove yourself from danger?

revmoo posted:I was getting gas the other night and this guy pulls into the gas station with his headlights off and hazards on. He pulls about 1/3 into a parking space and stops. I'm thinking he must have a blown fuse or something and was limping it to the gas station. So I watch as this guy backs up, pulls forward, stops, backs up, pulls forward, stops for a second. He then reverses at full speed swinging the car around, jams it into drive and then flies past me at the pump very nearly missing me, jerking the wheel at the last second. He proceeds to fly off down the road, headlights still off and hazards blinking away. Well, at least he knows that the hazard lights are for warning others about a traffic hazard.
