Great Gifts For Gearheads
July 29th, 2010I Love Cutting Off Soccer Moms
July 29th, 2010 Whenever I see a woman several feet up in the air in her Lincoln
Navigator or any other POS SUV, I make a point to cut her off without
using a turn signal.
Sometimes I get a reaction out of the dumb bitch, but most of the time
she’s too oblivious to anything going on in the world around her.
I also do my part to be a big asshole with these SUV-driving psychos
who deserve to rot in hell. For instance, I’ll never let one merge in
front of me. Even if the whore waves to me, gesturing to see if it’s
OK to let her pass, I just smile and pull up. Or the best is when
they get all huffy and try to tailgate me. I can lose them so quickly
in turns it’s not even funny. If the stupid biatch actually tried to
keep up with me in the turns, she’d flip her POS SUV over, haha.
I love it.

Greatest car commercial ever

Ok – no electronic gadgets! Just a great commercial.
Looking for someone to top this one!
question about school bus stopping rules
July 29th, 2010 When you have a 4-lane boulevard with 1 middle turning lane (5 total),
must you always stop when a school bus shows its red sign on the far
side of the road? In the case I’m talking about there’s no crosswalk
at the bus stop and kids only gather on the side where the bus parks.
It seems like only the two lanes next to the bus should have to stop,
but all 4 often do even though kids only board from on one side of the
blvd. The speed limit is 45.
Due to its location beyond a rise, you can’t see there’s a bus loading
on the other side until you spot brake lights ahead. People don’t know
when to expect it and they brake hard. Then, you have to wait up to 5
minutes as kids board well out of range of your 2 lanes. What are the
laws on this in states like CA and AZ? I know there’s a chance a kid
might run across the whole road but I haven’t seen that in many years
driving this route. The lack of a crosswalk would make it jaywalking
anyway. Thanks for info.

Is that all?
July 29th, 2010 Just heard on the news about the lates recall on Ford vehicles
including my 500.
Battery cable might rub on a frame member. Must mean a box member as a
unibody has no frame and.
Gas tank might fall off; SNORT! WTF?
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Looks like Ford needs to go back
to the "Quality is Job Number 1" program.

Caught the good Padre double-parking his Mercury Sable behind two
other properly-parked vehicles while he ran inside one of the stores
in the food court. I guess God told him it would be OK because he
would only be parked there for just a minute…
Grocery cart damages
July 29th, 2010 It never ceases to amaze me about how lazy and inconsiderate American
shoppers are in the parking lots. My car gets several dents by rolling carts
left by lazy shoppers, who wouldn’t take a couple of minutes to bring the
cart back into the rack/stall.
In Europe the overhead cost on having grocery workers collecting carts in
the parking lot was reduced, thanks to a very effective system. In the US, I
have not seen one business adopt such system. Is this a cultural problem? I
notice the lazyass people are more in abundance in the US. Sometime I saw a
macho guy leaving the shopping cart at the parking stall right next to his
Ford Expedition SUV. It just happened that he left the empty cart at a
handicap spot. This caused an old lady to get out of her car to move the
cart after the idiot had drove off.
I am not sure what the jerk in the SUV was made of, but it wouldn’t surprise
me if his brain was filled with dog excrement. But then again, what can we
expect from people driving super-size SUVs. They are no less than a bunch of
urban terrorists!

Toyota, Honda revise down horsepower claims
July 28th, 2010 I remember reading somewhere that car manufacturers are being
required to report more realistic HP numbers, and that the
worst offenders were the Japs.
It’s happening. For example, the 2006 Toyota Avalon has substantially
less HP and torque than the 2005. Same goes for the 4Runner. Same for
the Honda Accord. Same for Acura:
2005 Acura TL: 270 HP & 238 ftxlbs
2006 Acura TL: 258 HP & 233 ftxlbs
Nissan publishes the same numbers as in 2005.
I wonder if we’re still being lied to.
