As a user of a cassette tape-to-aux cable for a couple months, it was rather inconvenient. It wasn't like, "**** I have to go somewhere and plug my phone into my car" but it was like "I wish I could just insert a SD card or something" which you can do with a real head unit that comes from manufacturers now.

But 6-cd is good enough for me. Hell of a lot better than radio...

Probably. But it is a huge buzzkill when you someone passes you on the straight, then holds you up in the corners when there isn't another passing area for 10 miles. The driver of that Cherokee will likely never tackle any terrain my own car couldn't, whether that thing actually can or not (it certainly wasn't a Trailhawk). Thus there is no reason for them to have such a tall, high-riding, heavy vehicle that has to go very, very slow through corners, except that wagons are considered unsexy and so now no one would be caught dead in one.

Stop bitching about what other people choose to do with their vehicles.
 
I can't help but question what makes people think it's ok to stop in the middle of any public road to talk to another driver on the other side...

Driving on the busiest and largest road in town, on my way back from lunch break with co-workers, only to find two cars (one on each lane) parked right at the ONLY ENTRANCE of the road I needed to get onto. There was no way I'd drive up behind them and be stuck in the middle of a two lane highway (as it's listed, but I don't think of it as such...).

Took a photo from Google Maps.


I was trying to get into the opposite lane of the Ford Edge in the picture, but someone stopped right in the entrance to talk to someone where the Ford Edge is. I was heading back from the grocery store on the left side of photo and couldn't take my left turn onto the road...

If you see someone you know while you're driving, why not just call them later in the day!? Rather than make it dangerous
 
1st example: people who drive 'warm' hatches (similar to hot hatches, but less crazy, obviously) as though they're full on racing cars. Common culprits are I see are the Seat Leon FR, the Civic Type S/Sport, and the Vauxhall/Opel Corsa SXI. All of these are slightly sporty versions that have similar looks to the actual performance models, but are generally cheaper to run, insure and buy. Because of this, the slightly more affluent tits on the road get a hold of them, yet think they're just as good as the real thing and floor it everywhere, push into lanes and sit in McDonalds car pack and share a McFlurry between 4 people. Not too relevant, but still stupid either way.

2nd example: stupid mothers who block my driveway when they're picking up their kids. In my neighborhood, and indeed, opposite my house, there is a path that leads to a local primary (elementary) school, so to save a bit of a walk, they all park up outside there. Unfortunately, it becomes a clusterf:censored: of Renault Scenics, Jeeps, Land Rover Discoveries and some weird clapped out Honda Stream. Its gotten to the point where they frequently just park up in front of my drive just to have a chat to someone.

If they block your driveway, call the cops to handout some fines or a tow-truck to tow it away.
 
A cop lives two doors down from me. And they don't seem to mind. My neighborhood is the sort of close-knit, 'everybody likes everybody' sort of place; as far as everyone else is concerned, it's only for a brief period of the day and no harm is done.
 
When you let a firetruck pull out of the fire station and someone honks at you. All whilst the firetruck's trying to get onto the main road during rush hour. The priorities of people...

"Screw the burning house! I need to get my damn mcnuggets!"
 
I've noticed an overwhelming amount of idiots who either don't know what lane they are in, or don't know left or right. They will be in the right lane on a 3 lane road and instantly decide they need to make a left turn, so they cut across 3 lanes of traffic at the intersection to get into the turn lane.
 
Had a pickup truck pull out infront of us as we were going 50 "which was the speed limit" on a curvy road. We had to slow down so he could pull out, he didn't go that fast.
 
When someone is taking a turn and you're in the other lane. Only to freak out as they suddenly swerve into your lane to take the turn. It makes some sense for larger vehicles, but when it's someone driving their Camry and for no reason whatsoever, they have to take the turn wider than they need to. Dangerously getting into the other lane and freaking people out...

Also...today I had some woman in a Corolla pull onto a large road taking a left turn onto my side of the road. And of course...she pulled out at the last second right in front of me only driving...at most 35MPH on a 50MPH road. I honked and went around her to avoid an accident and saw her in my mirror raising her arms in anger. Then starts tailgating me and giving me the finger...
 
I had some dip:censored: in a FWD car try to drift through an intersection. Needless to say they failed quite miserably. :rolleyes:
 
People who can't figure out how the dome light works, so they just set it to "Off". Quite annoying when you get in such a car at night and can't see where the ignition switch or anything else is.
 
Got stuck behind 2 people last night with burnt out brake lights. Lucky the center light was working.
 
When I'm driving down a road with speed bumps on it, I slow right down so I don't damage my car so what does the common Audi/4x4 driver do behind? Drive 6 inches off my rear bumper flash the lights to tell me to speed up and try and overtake me!

It really makes my blood boil when I see people drive over speed bumps at over 30 mph! Complete morons!

It depends on the speed bumps.

The longer and shallower ones i dont really slow down for, the smaller and taller ones you have too slow down.

They don't slow down regardless of the severity of the bump.

Their excuse is that they have 'off road' suspension so it can take bumps like that.

That's one of the most annoying things ever :banghead:

And it's also someone with a small car. They make it seem as if they are driving a large SUV/truck, makes you question their driving abilities.

Well to be fair my dad used to have a habit of taking speed bumps at 35mph :lol:

It amazes me how people somehow think their car is bigger than it actually is. Something as "simple" as knowing how wide your car is makes a big difference. Especially when making those unnecessarily wide turns. I've had people ride along with me and freak out when I corner, somehow thinking I'm going to flip over in an average midsize sedan...
 
Depends on the size of the bump. If it's one of the tall, steep curb-like ones I'll take it slowly.

If it is one of the wider more ramp-like ones I will go all Dukes of Hazzard and catch some air.
 
I don't have my first car yet, but if it doesn't turn out to be an utter piece of 🤬, I'm going to baby it to the point where people would think I was an elderly person driving.
 
A residential area near me has a typical speed limit of 25 MPH... and speed bumps designed for no more than 20. I guess it makes sense as the houses there do tend to be close to the road and a lot of people in that neighborhood seem to have kids, but then why not drop the limit to 20 when you put the bumps in?
 
When I was driving today I was about to be in the turn lane then
a Accord in the far right lane cut over too the turn lane infront of us.
 
I had a box truck cut in front of two other lanes of traffic and at least one distracted driver the other day. A box truck of all things. :crazy:
 
This one is no big deal, but it bugs me when drivers don't stop soon enough and they end up directly on a crosswalk. If you're taking a right turn, that's fine - take up all you need to be able to see, but when it's a school zone and I have to pick up my siblings, don't make me and my sisters step pretty much in the intersection to get around your van.

When you are in the opposite lane from me and you feel like passing the guy in front of you, don't make me slow down and defecate myself. Make sure it's clear enough to pass instead of making me play chicken with you. Maybe I'm just a scared driver all the time, but I swear to Zeus, measure your distances better.

Also, if you park like me, I don't like you. Take the extra time to park nicely even though I don't. Muchas gracias, amigos.
