Vehicle pet peeves? - Page 10 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Back on topic:

People that feel the incessant need to do other things while driving!
On the way to work this morning there was a guy doing 50 in the center lane of the busy highway where everybody else was doing 70 during rush hour (ya you LA people we get to do 70 during rush hour here). When I get up beside him and look over I see he is reading a book. Had a little holder on his steering wheel and everything.
Still not as good as the dude in the passing lane during a snowstorm with the laptop on the steering wheel, 1969 headphones on and the phone in his hand though.

people driving under the speed limit next to each other blocking traffic. I swear this happens every morning. to people will do like 10 under until one pulls off and the other will speed up so that they can get to the next car and black traffic again.

this is why I don't carry my gun in the car....

I'm pretty sure she'd cause me to crash even if she wasn't doing anything. #relevanttomyinterests

Also, I hate it when people try to get ahead by passing in a lane that's ending and then cutting back into traffic. There's one of those right at my exit...

it used to be a city ordinance where I live that home owners own a gun.

plus I like shooting and having that protection at home.

Digital read of water and oil oump will be great and trans temp for automatic also like the GTR.
Wait, this "what you hate etc" thread?

I told people that I'm planning on getting the FRS/BRZ and they instantly reply back, "Why? It's a piece of shit."

Me, on the outside: "That's ok, I respect your opinion."

Me, on the inside: "Go fuck yourself with a rusty [insert object here]."

You should get some nice suspension and tire mods then challenge them to a canyon run. Just tires alone would do the trick.

Jeez, first he needs to get the car and enjoy its unmolested factory charm. I still haven't gotten over mine. Well, clutch, but...
