How to clean my G37?

Here's my fav peeve. When I'm on the road to college, I see this alot. People who are im front of you and can't seem to maintain there speed at a constant. You know, they vary there speed by like 5 mph or something, or sometimes greater than 5!! Either they just don't know how to drive, don't know how to use the cruise control or just don't care.



Here's another one I see alot too. Say your going 60, cruise is set and you havn't touched the pedals for a good 10 miles. Then you approach an intersection, the light is green and your still just crusing right along when someone pulls out in front of you and goes slower than you want to go!!!!!!!!:mad: :angry

I hate it when the knucklehead in front of me doesn't realize the light is green and then finally takes off when the light is yellow to leave me stranded another 5 minutes under a red light! AAAAAAAAAARGGGGGGHHH!:angry
 
Guys join me over in the right lane. Change lanes to the right ,slow down and enjoy life. Easier said than done.



BTW: I have a PT Cruiser and it does not go that fast anyway.

I hate when they toss a cigarette out the window period!:mad: It looks like smokers never use the ashtrays in their car. They must think the whole roadside is theirs to use as an ashtray. Several times I've been tempted to get out of my car, pick up the cigarette butt and thump it back into their car.:nono

What is really funny is that they seem to think that if the ashtray looks like it has never been used that no one will be able to tell they've smoked in their car. I can usually smell the stench even before the doors are opened.
 
I hate driving with and behind people who are too terrified to pass a slow moving police car that is in the right lane. They are just cops.:nixweiss
 
You guys are just gonna love it here in the Manila, Philippines...



"Metro Manila, where traffic rules are merely suggestions...":D

I hate that too. It amazes me that people are not intellegent enough to realize if the cop is driving below the speed limit, it is legal to pass them as long as you don't exceed the speed limit yourself.
 
1) People who insist on driving slow in the fast lane. I think it's great that you're retired and no longer have anyplace to be but I have to be at work/drop the kids at daycare/ pick-up my daughter at Girls Scouts/ am late for class/etc. and you're messing up the program. MOVE!



2) People who have to have at least 3 miles clear distance to enter traffic. Hello MORON! It's the year 2003 and chivalry is dead. I too have lamented it's passing but it's time to move on and into traffic aggressively. MOVE!



3) Have you ever seen an Expedition/Excursion/Sequoia with anything more than one or two passengers? Rarely is the answer. How many times have you had to wait 20 minutes for some 5'2", 90 Lb, cute little soccer mom to get her oversized SUV out of the parking spot she happened to wedge it into (sideways no doubt)? I also have to deal with the redneck factor in similar situations. Billy Joe Bob just had to have that 4X4 Ford, F-250, crewcab, Duelly, Diesel, longbed pickup. Problem is he's more hat than horse and hasn't had anything bigger than some golf clubs in the bed. Fine with me if you have more dollars than sense but why should I have to wait for an eternity for you to get outta my way at Walmart. MOVE! then sell it if it's too much vehicle for ya.



I could go on forever but I'll stop before I hurt myself. Thanks for the opportunity to vent.

I once heard from a smoker (my dad) that if you never use the ashtray in your car, and make sure to de-odorize the interior real well just before you go to sell/trade in your car, the dealers may not notice/know the car was smoked in, and thus it will raise your resale value..... :rolleyes:

See, that's exactly what most smokers think: throw it out the window, spray something in the interior and nobody will know. Nevermind the fact that everytime they exhale they are blowing the smoke into the interior and it will leach into every fiber of the interior (unless they are sitting on top of the headrest with their upper torso hanging out of the sunroof)!



Smoking dulls the olfactory senses - most smokers can't smell the nasty disgusting trail they leave everywhere. But a non-smoker can tell if a car has been smoked in, right off the bat! :rolleyes:
 
People in the city on a two lane one way street who drive in the right lane for 10 blocks only to wait till they're less than half a block away and deside they need to get in the left lane to make a lefthand turn. Also people who have to swing there car slightly left to make a right hand turn or right to make a left hand turn. Just turn the dang thing, your not driving a semi!!!!!
 
Well for me, there are a few;



Driving outside rush hour - the standard of driving is awful - all those people who don't drive very often or have no interest in driving well!



People who hog the middle lane on the motorway and create traffic jams in the right hand lane



And my longest held peeve - people who forget to turn off their fog lights or worse turn them on when its raining - this has bugged my from the days I used to ride a motorbike and these lights refract in the waterspray on your visor and leave you blind
 
I absolutely love it when people see the "Left lane ends, merge right" sign 1/2 mile before the merge, and decide to wait until the end of the left lane to get over. I got over before the sign, have enough courtesy to get over as early as possible, it keeps traffic flowing, and I will not be late to work. I am also bothered by the people that merge onto the Highway going 30. I really wish sabertooth tigers were still running around, the world's population would be half as large and twice as smart.

LOL, I love it Freedog and I agree wholeheartedly...



you're messing up the program. MOVE! That would make a great bumper sticker (even though I don't use them personally).
 
Maybe not "traffic" related but top of my list is people that can't get out of a car without banging the side of the car next to them!

Also people that are too lazy to put a shopping cart in the racks in the parking lot, odds are in favor of it somehow finding MY car and hitting it........:angry
 
I drive to downtown on highway 40. The turn off to the Decarie Expressway is from the left lane. I get really peeved in rush hour when the traffic in the lane next to this lane is standing still and people just gotta try and jump ahead in the left turn lane. My lane is clear, except for some idiot whose car is sticking halfway into the lane and can't move, because that lane is going waaay too slow. The idiot is also making lots of friends (not) in the lane he/she is trying to force his/her way into.



Another rush hour pet peeve is people who don't understand that you don't enter the intersection until you can see that you won't get stuck in it. Now, it's bad enough that other people get stuck, but when they change into my lane after I've entered the intersection to steal my clear spot, I get really p.o.ed. Not only is that rude, but you aren't supposed to change lanes in an intersection.

Just happened to me last weekend. A brand new Saturn Ion parks in a "non space" and scratches my door, not once but twice squeezing their way out of the car. They were apparently too lazy to park in a real spot further away.

Emphasis on lazy



In most parking lots, I try to park faaaar away from others near a curb or a light pole or some other structure which might afford some protection for people speeding through the nether regions of parking lots.
 
Ooh, Ooh, I got another one, people that don't turn their lights on when it starts raining. It seems like the average IQ goes down when there is any form of water on the road. That and I think Texas has some of the stupidest, most arrogant drivers on the road. Except for those here of course. ;)
