AAARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!

NAPA
Find part online.
Choose the part that says it's in stock at your selected store.
Reserve online to save 10% (likely for you doing the legwork instead of their counter monkeys).
Wait 30 minutes.
Drive to store.
Get phone call half way there saying they don't have the part.
Get poorly timed email confirming reservation transaction that also says to call the store to check availability.
WTF/WTF?WTF?WTF?WTF?WTF?

People who can not reach the speed limit. This is out of control. Glenwood avenue Raleigh. Speed limit in most places is 45. Lately people make it to 32 or 33 mph without traffic. Come on people.

^^ They’re often the same asshats who swing wide into the adjacent lane to make a turn. In their compact car.

Ahhhhh, a huge pet peeve of mine - I don't understand these morons. Also - people that move to the right of the lane to turn left........thereby assuring that no one can go around them until they turn.....

Heather won't let me just nudge those people out of the way. Why the hell do we put these big steel bumpers on our trucks?

I've been pushing for ground to ground missile launcher, she says I can install the switch, but not the launcher itself.

We should at least be able to nudge someone obviously texting or talking on the phone without hands free. Let us police each other and leave the real police open for bigger crimes against humanity. Just a thought.

Do a google search for truck pushes car half mile

I'm sorry my cruiser just goes so slow!

But really I have this problem a lot on the way to work it's a 55 and most people seem to think 40 is what the sign really means.

Front LEDs are for people texting Or talking without hands free. It is so funny to see the entire cab of their car light up. Worked every time so far.

Too many people texting and not paying attention.

We recently started to get the "snowbirds" here in the Phoenix area I never imagined it would be this bad I used to complain about the leaf watchers by Asheville this is just horrible a bunch of people going 40 mph on the interstate getting to their bingo and golf is miserable even in the stores they move slow.

 

[stevezero]

Growing up in Orlando was worse. we had snowbirds and tourists that had no clue where they were going. States with New in the name were the worst. At least the Canadians were almost always too nice to be mad at

Air horns work well too! I've seen a few almost break their necks looking around so quickly.

I've been searching amazon/ebay and watching youtube videos for the loudest horns available. I determined to get something that will make the slow driver in front of me crap their pants.

I got behind a Miata on the high speed beltline around Raleigh. The driver was driving so slow that I couldn't pass him in the Cruiser without interrupting the fast flowing traffic to my left. Eventually I see him lift his phone and take a picture of his dog sitting in the passenger seat. OMGWTFBBQ I got so pissed that I turned on the little lightbar and the big lightbar to blind his ass and encourage him to use the throttle.

Purchased a Viair compressor like this one, 125 to 150 psi. Quiet running and provides more than adequate air for the dual horns that I have. The compressor is available on eBay and Amazon as the horns are. I believe that GSO members can attest for the volume.

Nice.

Last night on 40, a nice young lady from Maryland, was going about 50 mph in 5 o'clock traffic. She had traffic backed up for miles and had football fields of room in front of her. She had a nice cradle mount for her phone. She was surfing the web, checking email, and responding. I put the brights and stayed right behind. She never moved and was in her own little world. She was in the left lane and I could not get around her because the right lane was packed with people blowing right past her. It was nuts. Air horn would have been nice.

When I was a teenager I had this fantasy of attaching a front end loader bucket full of explosives to the front of my Buick so that I could blow people up when they impeded traffic. Maybe when the economy collapses and the rule of law goes by the wayside I'll get to live my dream.
