ALRIGHT! I know I just posted one, but here's another.
This is about : Kids and their crappy little "tuner" cars.
Now, don't get me wrong. I am definitely a part of the tuner generation. I want to get a good car, and trick it out. In all honesty, I want a Tiburon. I don't care that it's a Hyundai, I like it.
But, this isn't about me.
Lately, I've been seeing a ton of ghetto kids and their "tuners".
It's like no one even tries. I'm sick of seeing Civics with their Erect-A-Set wings on the back. I'm tired of the gay little flame stickers all over cars. They don't do anything to warrant the body parts their putting on.
"Oh dawg, I changed my intake and installed a muffler, I need a super huge wing and a body kit!"
No. You know what? The guy that owned my car was one of these idiots. Now, I don't have the wing or a body kit. But I do have an incredibly cheap and crappy aftermarket intake that was installed when I got it. And, I have a Borla muffler with a four-inch exhaust tip, also installed when I got the car.
You don't see me rushing out to put money into my car. It's just not a car I want to work on. Not worth it. I'll keep it running until I can afford a new one. Whatever my next car is, I do plan to get a much nicer one, with less than 75K miles, hopefully. That one, I will probably work on.
But I'll do it the right way.
Performance first. Your car has to have balls to back up whatever exterior mods you put on it. An intake and muffler don't qualify. It better have the intake, a FULL aftermarket exhaust (not just the muffler) and some other shit done. For me, I'll do the intake, exhaust, ECU, clutch and flywheel, and probably have the throttle body adjusted, if it's worth it. If I can afford it, sometime before the car reaches a point that I refuse to work on it, I'll even buy a turbo for it. But I'll do all that before I even think about a spoiler.
So you little thugs can drive your Civics, Integras, Neons, and Sentras. And whatever else you might be driving. Keep your intakes, mufflers, ridiculous wings, and your stupid little body kits. One day, I'll leave you sitting at the stoplight wondering why you wasted so much money trying to make your "whip" look cool instead of making it faster.

people's complete lacking in the ability to drive.
ALRIGHT! It's been a while. It's been pretty hectic lately for me, but let's get on with the show.
Today's topic is: Moron's that need to take a plummet off the nearest bridge.
But not really.
No, no. Today, my aim is to vent my frustrations on the idiots that are all around me when I'm driving. Let's get straight to what bugs me.
1) Drifters
- They get a whole lane to drive in, but they have to constantly fade over into mine. This drives me, I N S A N E. The concept of keeping your car between the lines, shouldn't be that hard. I've been doing it since I got my learner's. That's it for these morons, we'll get back to them later.
2) Can't Seem to EVER Use Turn Signals
- Is the idea of a turn signal so foreign to these idiots that they can't use one? I can't read minds. Although, living where I do, I've pretty much found it easier to practically tailgate someone than leave space for these inconsiderate assholes. In the words of the Clive Owen from the awesome movie, "Shoot 'Em Up" :
"I move my finger one inch to use my turn signal. Why are these assholes so lazy they can't move their finger one fucking measly inch to drive more safely?"
3) Aggressive Drivers
- Okay, before I start in on this one, let me start off by saying this. I think I am a fairly aggressive driver. I've been driving for almost two years now, and I love going fast. Now, on the flip side, I have no tickets, and I've never been in an accident. If you're like me, and you're defensively aggressive (as I like to refer to myself) then this isn't pointed at you.
This is pointed at those annoying people who run down turn lanes (in the city) or merge lanes (and usually the shoulder, especially on highways) just to move up a car length or two. They then wonder why traffic is so screwed up.
IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT.
You have nothing so important that you can't drive safely and intelligently like the other people on the road. Of course, most people around here are this ignorant kind of aggressive and that's why our traffic sucks. These people, are the ones, providing I can do it without causing any kind of problems, I target when I'm driving. People that need to learn what it's like to be cut off at high speeds, because eventually they might think twice about their actions. Generally, once I've handled them, they fall back, and drive like a normal human being. Others are idiots and try to cut me off, only to realize that I am too damn good, and therefore, they have to fall back in behind me, yet again.
4) People that can't seem to do the speed limit.
TEN UNDER?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?
Those are my exact thoughts when I get stuck behind these morons.
"Oh, I'm saving gas by driving slower"
"I'm driving safer by going under the speed limit"
No. You're creating a rolling roadblock and making traffic worse than it has to be. The pennies you save on your gas by going ten under won't be worth a damn thing when someone doesn't notice how slow you're going, and all of a sudden, the trunk of your car is up your ass.
DO THE DAMN SPEED LIMIT. It's safer for everyone. We need minimum speed limits, I swear.
I don't understand when driving became so difficult. All the hard stuff is done for you. You don't build the car in your basement. It's pre-assembled in a factory. All you have to do, is drive it.
That's it for this one. Ta-ta folks!
