I really dislike the distracted texters. It looks like all the hipsters and rappers have their eyes glued to the small screen. This is why I have dash cams in both vehicles and keep the recording going constantly.

BTW The 120 psi air horns have a way to get their attention.
 
Don't ya wish that you could legally give them a little love tap with the bumper?

"Nudge" a driving texter today :)
 
I sure would like to "nudge" some people!
 
That would be sweet. The funniest is tailgaters and the rear bumper is SOLID steel. Their car would be totaled.
 
Saw that one. Bet the texters are to busy texting to see it!
 
Another great thing is how people can move forward in a modern vehicle that slowly. I am not sure how they do it. I know they are being out accelerated by fully loaded dump trucks and buses.
 
I'm only responsible for what I say, not for what you understand :)
 
What someone 'meant to say' is COMPLETELY F'ing irrelevant if it is not what they actually said (or failed to say). One day, we'll all be mind readers; today is not that day.
What do you mean?
 
I agree, Stan. ;) But in my mind are meaning-changing words that are left out of sentences, items overlooked, etc. Example: The guy I know who simply writes "I'm able to do that" but leaves out the word "not" and then says it's not his fault that autocorrect didn't fix it. A person in the business world needs to read what they wrote before pressing send. Simple as that. No...everybody needs to do that.
 
Quick rant about buying non OEM parts:

1990 BMW E30. 160k+ Miles and the fuel pump goes out.

Get a cheap Chinese one for $150 or the OEM made in Germany one for $320?

'This is a car we don't drive often' was something I said out loud to justify the cheaper one.

Wrong

Part has a 12 month warranty that expired right before it stopped working. DAMMIT. So cut forward to now, I'm installing the new OEM fuel pump that I'm cursing at because it's made in the Chech Republic. That's basically the China of Europe. Oh well, let's get the s***ty Chinese one out.... 5 minute job...

BUT NO. The Chinese pump decided its threads were made of butter.

Never. Again.
 
Here's my rant of the month and years - To all the douchey people in their cars that insist on throwing trash out of their car - why? I just don't get it. Never have, never will. You're already a s***ty person so I am pretty sure the inside of your car is the same, so just leave the trash in there. I live probably two miles away from a 'convenience station' and most cars have to pass it to get anywhere, yet where do they throw their trash? Out the window......
 
Right there with you. I am out in the sticks on a busy route to 85, so lots of morning and evening drive time traffic. I go out on the ATV and pick up trash before I go and mow every time. Makes me ill.

Yep, I'm the weirdo on the road walking and picking up trash....

Growing up in the country and one of the main sources of random trash is pick up truck people. They throw the trash in the bed of the truck and it blows out down the highway. Drives me crazy as they are still responsible. The fine should be $2,500 no exceptions or whatever amount will stop the flow of trash on to our highways.

WHat about the morons that still throw cig butts out? Unbelievable. $2500 no exceptions.
 
Have I mentioned people that can not do the speed limit? Driving home from Cary is a perfect example. Light traffic, miata type fiat or something in left lane doing 46 mph or a little faster, speed up, slow down, very clueless, no way around as the right lane is doing the same thing. This is around 5 pm when traffic starts to build rapidly, all on ramps are feeding cars. I pull up behind the car, nothing, I get a little closer, nothing, the person finally swerves out of the left lane gives me the stink eye. 46 mph. The speed limit is 55 and most are doing 60. Now I am the bad guy. If you have no where to be during crazy traffic times maybe pick a different time to travel. Just a thought. This person would have received the $200 fines they are suggesting. Rant off.
