Fighting male ignorance since 1982...

'99 Silver Metallic Mazda Miata convertible!

oooooooh, a Miata....convertible....

Exactly what part are we supposed to be guilty of, the hating idiot "drivers" part?
Not that your sig would make me think your bias or anything....I should change my sig....something like:
"Fighting poor female driving habits since 1982..."

People that speed up to get in front of you so they can slow down and turn are the problem.
I think that, by far, is my number one driving pet-peeve. If there's no space to get in behind me (which could have been the case here) then fine.

But, WTF is the point in passing me and cutting me off when you were 3 car-lengths behind me in the next lane over and we're virtually the only two cars on the road?

I very rarely provoke people. It's like they think they're proving something.

Nothing out there annoys me more than those crap heads driving around in their cars thinking they own the roads.

For instance today I was driving down a road on the left lane when this asian punk kid who thinks he's a race car driver and some thug at the same time has his music blasting out loud while holding his steering wheel with one hand draped over the top, his hat on backwards, and leaning back as if he's on a la-z-boy or something.

So now he's driving in one of those cars with more power in the stereo than the engine itself, and it's more or less just the vibration of the speakers moving the car along.

I'm on the side of him now, and have to make a right turn soon. I then speed up a bit in order to be able to move into the right lane, and as I speed up this guy speeds up too thinking he's racing me or something. I say fine, and slow down a bit and try to change lanes behind him but as I slow down he thinks the "race" is over or something so he starts to slow down too. I say FINE again and send my car into WARP SPEED and so this guy tries to do the same as well. By the way he was listening to some Eminem crap which doesn't have anything to do with what I'm talking about so okay.

I began to approach the speed limit..not the road's speed limit but MINE'S, and I still couldn't get a clear lane change. So then I look over at him which seems to piss him off some so then I finally slow down and am able to move into the lane behind him. He then pumps his fist out the window to prove that not only did he beat a car that let him win but ALSO that he's a dipshit. Wow, congratulations dumbass. People like that should be thrown in jail and eaten.


what a jackass. You dont speed up to get in front of someone and then turn.

Yeah, that V6 mustang blows only if it's 95 - 98 (99?). You'd be fscking hard pressed to beat a vintage mustang with what you're driving. :)

You're reaching there, partner. I pretty much stay in the far right lane. I watch the ruckus going on in the far left all the time, though. Even though I'm in the far right, I'm going AT LEAST 5MPH over the posted speed just to keep with the flow. That ought to give you a pretty good idea what kind of commotion is going on in the left lanes with somebody poking along there! Still haven't figured out why they insist on being in that particular lane. They're the first to squawk and complain at being passed on the right, getting flipped off, honked at and brights flashed in their rear view. Dipsh|ts! :disgust:

Dont waste your time, if he doesnt know what the left lane is for (or why they call it the "fast lane") then whats the use of explaining it to him? Obviously his driving examiner didn't care enough to.

I don't believe so,first you make comments that tend to lead people to believe that its "ok" to speed,
Hmmmm, I hate people who have to poke along in the left lane! I frequently see people merge onto the freeway and slam over to the far left ASAP, then proceed to drive at the posted speed limit. Why?
then you say you would call they cops on people who illegally park,

I'm going AT LEAST 5MPH
I never said you drove the speed limit in the fast lane...I basically said you condone speeding but would hang a guy who illegally parks his car...seems like a good correlation to me

i HATE when people don't understand the whole "left lane rules". If you see somebody creeping up fast on your ass, you move over...you don't sit there like an idiot. Too many people NOT knowing how to drive is what causes accidents. And don't get me started on how inconsiderate people are to us bikers.

Raise the driving age to 21. Save gas. Less co2. More room on the road. Insurance rates will drop because a whole bunch of morans are off the road. Public transportation patronage will increase. Shoe sales will increase cause the kiddies are walking and burning off some of the fat burgers they stuff in their face. Play ground sand boxes may be more crowded, but so what........

Naah, just don't punish using shotguns on fellow roadusers anymore. That will do nicely against overpopulation too.

His Jetta would rape a vintage V6 Mustang. A buddy of mine has a 68 V6 Mustang. I forget what size it is, but it's less than 250ci. Anyhoo, it's in good shape, has a fresh rebuild, and has a rebuilt 3spd manny tranny. It is super slooooow. If it ran faster than a 20 second 1/4 mile I'd be shocked.

But you're right about the V6ers of the 90's - they're very slow and unreliable. But a friend of mine has a 2001 V6 Mustang automatic and it's pretty peppy. They made some good changes to it when they freshened the car.

Umm....if you look under his hood, you'll find an inline 6, not a V6. Mustangs didn't come with a V6 until 1974. ;)

oops! Fogot to mention it was a 90's V6. Of course I also had a little more help because it was automatic and convertable. I guess he was trying to show off to his girl in the car with him. I bet she was impressed. I should have stopped and asked if she wanted to ride with me. :)
