Manual transmissions. Now god damn when im tryin to steal a car all my gurl does is fuck the stick. Puts me in a bad place you see? It's like she's fuckin a dyke... Only fat lesbians drive stick.
When people cut me off WHEN THERE'S NO CARS WITHIN A MILE BEHIND ME.
People who drive in the dark and their lights aren't working, I almost got ran over because some shitbag in a 85' Mercedes Benz thought it would be a good idea to drive to work without working lights.
Fog lamps are for fog.
Learn to indicate properly at roundabouts.
Lovely winding roads where you can stretch your legs but stuck behind someone doing 25 mph.
[QUOTE=masterwolf;35096287]Lol, I never said I could pass [b]everyone[/b], nor did I say anything about passing you specifically. I was just talking about the one instance. And your saying that you speed up when people try to pass you? Any specific reason you do that?[/QUOTE]
I do it when I see dumb kids trying to pass me, to make fun of them. And to dumbfucks who like to go 140 at times and then 60 at others. It's annoying. And it makes me laugh to see them freak out.

I have those people too, who speed up and slow down. Especially when its clear their car has cruise control. But hopefully you don't do it to people just looking to pass no bull :P

People who just want to pass fair play, they pass. I'm not that much of an ass.
.00005cm of snow on the ground? I'd better drive 40km under the speed limit to ensure my 4wd soccer mom rav4/CRV doesn't spin or slip

Oh god this. I hate those who are like this.
[QUOTE=WolvesSoulZ;35101535]Oh god this. I hate those who are like this.[/QUOTE]
Me too. Even if there's 2 inches on the road I still drive 5mph over the limit, and I don't even have 4WD. It's a straight line, your chances of slipping under a light snow cover are almost nil.
So do I, FWD, same speed as I usually go even if there's a foot of snow, all I do is double or triple my braking time and slow down slightly more in turns to be safe, other than that, on straight line, feel free to go slightly above the limit, not 40 under :v:
I back way the hell off in the snow most of the time. Once I'm in the city I go with the flow, but out on my backroads going the speed limit in the snow is begging to find yourself very close to a tree. The roads never straighten out, they're constantly moving about. Up, down, left, right, and they ice up pretty bad in some nasty spots.
Only way you could get away with the speed limit out here is a rally car of some description. Anything else is just going to slide off the road on one of the corners or when it hits a hill.[QUOTE=Captain Lawlrus;35101421].00005cm of snow on the ground?

5 feet of snow on the ground? Let's take our diesel 3/4 ton mall crawler, put it in 2WD Hi, and do 95MPH down backroads!

I was riding in my sister's car, and apparently she thinks the little blue light on the dashboard means the headlights are on and drives around like that. Dear god if her ability to manage the headlight setting on her car is as challenged as most people....:suicide:
-people who decide to slow down to 1mph before turning off the road instead of going the normal 15-17mph turn speed
-people who drive slow down roads where there is now passing opportunity, talking under 10mph here, like there the only ones on the road.
-Bus drivers
-Taxis parked everywhere and taxi drivers talking to each other outside there taxis on the road not the pavement.
-People who roll back without noticing after they have stopped at lights
-People who think that because they have stolen and installed some concert speakers that there chavmobile is now the coolest car on the road.
-People who don't indicate, they just pull over to park
-People who actually try stunts on roads, saw some guy in Greece do a drift around a corner next to a childrens playground, I mean come on.
-People who cant open there doors in parking lots without smacking your car with there door.
-People who cut you off.
-People who take up the middle of the road when oncoming (cars parked both sides but room for 2 cars to drive past each other without stopping)
People that are a little OTT on safety. Like my mother.
I move my car off the driveway so she can get her car out, then put my car back in.

Hey I'm a beautiful driver
Here in Yonkers taxis are a huge fucking problem. Every crown vic and mercury pos is sucked up by them and they flood the streets. None of them literally signal at all. Some have headlights out and there cars are beatup as fuck or literally are just a police interceptor without the writing saying police. They don't give a fuck for road rules go fucking 50-60mph on straightways on 20-30mph roads and will fucking go 100mph to make a yellow light.
They fucking stop in the middle of a road to see if someone wants a ride then slowly take there ass off or hold up traffic for 5 minutes while they convince the person to take a taxi.

I drive a BMW myself but I have to agree. A lot of the younger BMW owners drive like fucking idiots, thinking they own the road. Though I have yet to see an E30 owner that fits the stereotype, so them and older BMW owners are pretty much the only ones I associate with.
It also annoys me when people takes ages to get up to the speed limit.
Oh, and people that swerve onto the oncoming lane before taking a turn, thinking they are driving a bus or something.

Infinitely useful comment Sir.
Oh and thank you for correcting my mother.
She probably said "Wouldn't've" which is incorrect but still more proper than "wouldn't of"

If you get enough speed to injure yourself while moving a car in your own driveway you're doing something wrong. It's understandable to have concern if you're out on the roadways without a belt on, but just shifting a car a few feet? Unnecessary.
[QUOTE=Super Saiyan Yerbs;35105794]-people who decide to slow down to 1mph before turning off the road instead of going the normal 15-17mph turn speed[/quote] 1MPH sure, but not everyone can make a right at 15-20 either. Sensible people in pickups and SUVs will slow down to 10 or so, lest they understeer or roll it.

-People who roll back without noticing after they have stopped at lights[/quote] Unavoidable with a manual if the road's going uphill. It's going to roll back a bit between release of the brake and release of the clutch.
This actually reminds me of another grip of mine: People who roll up three feet off your bumper at the lights, then honk when you roll back half that between letting off the brake and letting the clutch out, an action that's all but unavoidable. Don't do that. It's stupid, and some people in America still drive stick! Stop a sensible distance behind other cars, don't force them to use the e-brake to hold it still until the clutch engages.
[quote]-People who actually try stunts on roads, saw some guy in Greece do a drift around a corner next to a childrens playground, I mean come on.[/quote] Careful now. Showing some logic and consideration of others' safety might get you flamed to hell and back 'round here.
when you are on a hill and someone creeps up to ur back bumper, sometimes i roll back just to scare them. ( in this state if a car rolls back and hits you it is the driver that got hit on the front bumpers fault)
people who dont use signals.
people who drive slow except when you try to pass them, then your pacing them at 15 over the limit.
people who dont pulling on the the road. then pull directly in front of you causing u to have to slam the brakes on then they proceed to go slow...
People who give up their and everyone behind them's right of way to let someone else go when they shouldn't
People who tailgate when I'm going at or above the speed limit. In minivans
People who cut me off just to exit/get in a turn lane
People who cut me off and then slow down
People who pass another car on the freeway at about 0.25in/s and hold up a whole train of cars in the left lane
People who can't figure out how a roundabout works (stopping in the middle)
People who change lanes and inadvertently cut me off in a two-lane roundabout or left turn light, usually because they are oblivious/not paying attention
People who turn on their high beams behind me as if it's okay just because its not an [i]oncoming[/i] car
I know it's been said like 5 times already, but misaligned headlights and even more so the HIDs in stock housings drive me fucking insane.
Also loose headlights...particularly those on motorcycles that vibrate up and down a lot and look like goddamn strobe lights
Dim/near-invisible tail/brake lights due to smoked lenses, cheap LED replacement bulbs, or those god-awful "altezza" housings
Rolling back when you stop on a hill isn't unavoidable in a manual. I hardly ever roll back on a hill.
If you roll back more than a foot and a half you're doing something wrong, but it will move. It's also a bitch and a half to use the e-brake trick when you have a pedal-actuated e-brake, and even moreso when the e-brake itself doesn't work.
people who don't indicate (and especially on roundabouts) should be brutally executed.

lol I can't even think of how you would do that unless you're pushing the pedal with your hand which would be awkward as hell, or have enough power at idle to get a truck rolling uphill... I only roll back maybe like a couple inches launching uphill, but when you are new at driving stick it's the scariest thing ever. My friend once slipped the clutch a whole bunch taking off uphill and that is when I learned what burning clutch smells like.
