Had a pretty good one on the way in to work today. I'm first in line in the outside lane of a double left turn. Prius is in the inside lane. We get our arrow and start to proceed through the turn. Some dummy in the oncoming lanes decides she's going to make a right on her red and proceeds to cut me off. Had I not jumped on the brakes, she'd have a nice Mustang-shaped dent in the side of her Mountaineer. I give her a honk and a finger, she gives me the classic "sorry" wave. She then immediately proceeds to change lanes to the left (no signal, of course) and cut off the Prius as well. He gives her the "what the gently caress?!" hands and we all drive on. I didn't look over to see if she had her phone out as I just wanted to hammer down and get the hell out of her bubble of stupid.

Safety Dance posted:I was at O'reilly the other day, getting lug nuts for the Jeep. It's busy, I stood in line for a few minutes before someone could help me. The phone rang, and the lady who was helping me answered it. I was at the local O'reilly myself on Sunday getting a cabin filter for my wife's car (apparently WIX is the only company on the loving planet that makes cabin filters for CX-5s other than Mazda) and asked the lady there about this goofy Saab part I've been hunting. She asked me to call back sometime during the week when it's less busy because she likes to look poo poo up and enjoys a good mystery. I figure I'll give her a call on Wednesday with a part number and she can go nuts. Old parts store ladies rule.

Open road posted 45 mph? 60 mph all day long. Highway? If you aren't going 75+ you're a speedbump. This is 100% dead nuts accurate. Every. loving. Year.

if you think they'll do anything to him for violating the terms of his probation when they let him off the hook for literally killing two people and turning another into a potato because he didn't know it was wrong to do so.

Some advice I heard from I don't know where, but it reflects a bit that kastein said: Never break more than one law at a time. Speeding? Better not be holding anything. Got some pot in the car? Don't loving speed. So on and so forth. And play dumb. "Do you know why I pulled you over?" "No I do not." Compared to: "Do you know why I pulled you over?" or "Do you know how fast you were going?" "Yeah, I was going a little fast." or "Yeah, I missed that stop sign." Bam. Admission of guilt and now you are theirs to torment.

um excuse me posted:A quick google search puts manuals as 6.7% in 2010, 3.9% in 2013 in the US in new sales. I didn't verify this information, though. Those numbers seem low, but honestly they're probably right. Can't believe I found a 2015 Mazda6 with a manual. jammyozzy posted:I got commended for rev-matching on downshifts by my elderly driving instructor. That doesn't make any sense. I guess they'd rather ding you for jerky downshifts?

AFewBricksShy posted:There's an older model lexus that has 2 brake lights on the trunk that for some reason get washed out, and look like reverse lights. It's probably confirmation bias, but almost every time I see that model, it has the washed out brake lights. It's the old GS. More often than not, those trunklid lights are faded all to hell.

NoWake posted:Same thing in the rural hellscape far north of you. They've just finished improving 14 from 2-lane asphalt to 4-lane concrete with paved shoulders and a grassy median between. Nothing around but a farmhouse every mile or so. Speed limit dropped from 50 to 45. Whereabouts? They did the exact same thing with Peterson in Lake Co, but they dropped from 55 to 45. Bullshit.

NoWake posted:I turn left here (all unprotected lefts) against almost non-stop oncoming traffic, of which about 5% goes straight. About half of the oncoming cars won't use their signal, so I can either make assumptions and play the T-bone lottery or sit halfway into the intersection until I see I'm clear. It's a short light and people stack up behind me and get pissed, but what else can I do? Recognized the street names and I had to check. That's about 20 minutes away from my house.
