Or think their DRL at night is "good enough". Fucking idiots, you have no tail lights with just the DRL on...

 

Oh they actually park in the travel lanes out there? Never seen that here thank God. Yeah Id be pissed too.

 

I've never seen it until the last 2 years or so. But yes. Especially during hail or heavy rain

 

I think every state has a wipers on=lights on law.

 

In TN, when your going 40mph or less on the interstate, it’s law to have your hazards on not to mention it’s easier to “see” you.

 

@Uphillshunter what brand/type LED dash bulbs did you go with? Ive got a 4Runner climate control plate on the way so I can do a switch to green.

 

Thats understandable. Hopefully they stay in the right lane.

Im complaining about those that use them and will only do 5 under in the left lane.

 

luckily I haven't had that misfortune. But EVERYTIME I go up the payson route, or flag route up I 17 versus the salt river route; I get at least one windshield chip per trip from a rock ((((

 

So many memes



The parking ones are funnier though -

 

So the attempt to upgrade my suspension goes on. Wheelers, Down South, Accutune and Headstrong all let me buy the Fox shocks online, took my money and then got back to me telling me 'Whoops, our heads are embedded and we actually do not have that part in stock...we'll refund your money asap." Then, each time that happens I have to wait for my bank to show that the money is back in my account. Found a place in San Luis Obisbo (Poly Performance) who does actually have these shocks on the shelf. So I go through the process of buying them through their website - all seems to go well and they take my money. 1 hour later I start getting text messages from someone I do not know, in SLO (so it must be Poly Performance) being snarky and accusing me of trying to perform a fraudulent transaction. Apparently the company who authorizes their sales (signifyd.com) thinks that I've spent WAY more money in fast succession than I usually do (true) but doesn't see those previous 4 sales over a week and a half are mere attempts and were not actually successful. But, of course, they took my money and now I have to wait and try and sort out this clusterfuck with this 5th POS unprofessional company. It's 2020 FFS. I thought online commerce was supposed to be quicker and easier than the "old way"

 

I don't see any marked parking spaces

 

I don't know when it become normal for people to turn their hazards on when braking but I swear I think some people have wired their hazard lights to come on automatically whenever they hit their brakes. People paranoid they're going to get rear ended...I guess with how many distracted drivers are out there I can see why, but if someone's distracted by their phone then I don't see how turning on your hazards is going to do anything

 

I've seen that a few times, but not nearly as much as someone putting their hazards on for rain. I'm talking even normal rain, because people freak out when the roads are even partially wet....

Metal front/rear bumpers ftw

Did I tell you a Honda side swiped/hit my sliders a few weeks ago?

Tried cutting me off while I went the posted construction speed limit; half the right lane was already closed and he swung around me and ran some cones over to try and pass me

 

shoulda gave the wheel a smidge turn to the right and love tapped him back. He leave after hitting u? I woulda still tried for money even tho the damage is on him

 

Damn that sucks...I probably would've chased him down and gotten myself shot lol. I let other people's stupidity on the road get the better of me sometimes, trying to be better about it especially nowadays.

I had some idiot a few weeks ago in our neighborhood do something similar to me..I was at a stop sign and came to a stop, he didn't want to wait behind me so he drove right along side and blew past me (and the stop sign)

So of course I got way too pissed off and cut him off when I caught up to him, he tailed me for probably 2 miles screaming and waving his middle finger. I was nearly home but didn't want the lunatic to know where I lived so I kept driving past my neighborhood lol.

Looking back that was really stupid of me, shoulda just let it go

 

Does 5/8"-18NF sound right for the driveshaft thread pitch at the carrier bearing? Threads are fuxked on mine

 

Kid you not I thought he would've wanted to pull over but instead he took off; I had to turn off the highway shortly after so I said screw it. That and a 12+ hour day at work, it wouldn't have ended well for him/her.

I did check to see what damage I had but my truck was dirty/muddy....no damage to report after some of the dirt washed away with the last rain.

 

Damn; I've only had 1 person go around me and blow through a stop sign and I thought "what a fucking moron"

Good on you that you didn't go home though; I hate people like that. Seriously, the world isn't going to end if you get to your destination a good 10-15 seconds later.

 

yeah I try and especially not let people in my neighborhood get to me, even though I'm surrounded by a bunch of idiots that don't know what a stop sign or neighborhood speed limit is. My truck is very recognizable and anyone that gets pissed or holds a grudge could spot it from a mile away
