There is a magical jump on the bike path near the Wal-Mart to hop from the far right gutter to the center of the right two lanes on a four-laner which is perpetually busy. Of course this means that the bicyclist who is actually obeying these directives would dart across a whole lane of traffic to get out of the way of the low price mouthbreathers and trying to avoid the single lane going forward beyond the intersection. I'd want to just sit there and  E:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBFFrsvgu1Y Viggen fucked around with this message at 06:52 on Dec 24, 2013 |

EightBit posted:Good to see all the sociopaths come out and rage that they're slightly inconvenienced by legal use of roads. Legality does not imply the sort of belligerent entitlement you appear to be seething with. I hope you can reread this with a clear head and realize what a oval office you sound like.

EightBit posted:If a powered vehicle were there that you couldn't pass, you probably wouldn't go on the internet and rage at truckers. But it's a group of cyclists, so somehow it's different. I don't even understand the sentiment this is meant to convey, to be honest. I think you are taking the statements here bitching about BAD BIKERS far too personally. They're not all poo poo, just as not all day truckers are completely incompetent.

As a man of refined gait and balance, I find that riding a unicycle is not only proper, but brings the entire concept of self-propelled travel to the masses. Not the unwashed, mind, but the properly refined who are more than capable of holding their heads (and spines) high. Those who do not agree are obviously unlearned, unwashed, and likely to have the plague.

Vindolanda posted:So many of my facebook friends (actually one. 1 many) are complaining about driving in snow. One girl said "I had the speedo at 160 and it didn't unstick itself! I thought a Beemer was supposed to be quality!". Jesus christ. So she had no traction on ice and the car was eating itself as her car looked like a dog dragging its rear end on the ground? Smart friends. Smart facebook.

CannonFodder posted:I've done the 'keep goosing the throttle so it doesn't stall' with a big rig, because the oil pressure would fall dramatically when braking. I was heel-toeing it the whole 1000 miles home so I could get it to a real shop and not the company shop that gave me the blasted thing. If you have a two cycle car, this is also kind of required, too.

BraveUlysses posted:I do this too and it's amazing to see how many people get mad that you're not accelerating towards a red light I still get strange looks when I'm asked why I am slowing down by my own drat passengers. Well, in about 1000ft it drops 10mph. There is no viable reason to hammer down straight up to the next speed limit sign and reseat your brake pads while testing your seatbelts' automatic locking mechanism.

some texas redneck posted:To contribute, tonight (well, last night, now), saw a guy on a crotch rocket weaving through traffic. Cut off a 3/4 ton truck bad enough that the truck slammed on their brakes and missed him by about a foot. Cut off plenty of others bad enough to cause the same. Apparently this wasn't enough, once he'd been at a red light for about 15 seconds he cut between the cars (lane splitting isn't legal here) and ran the light. I had someone do this in a Mitsubishi Galant in a parking lot a couple nights ago. Pulled onto the island to cut around everyone stopping at the stop sign, then blasting past 3 other stop signs before cutting hard right onto a busy-traveled road, then taking a wide left into moving traffic, nearly taking out multiple relatives' cars, and cutting in front of the next car in front when he was unable to get completely into the road (but still blocking half of a lane in a 4 lane road). He proceeded to force his way, into traffic, and blast through THE MAIN loving THOROUGHFARE and somehow survive without hitting anybody, and then jumping the curb to take off into Drugville suburbia. This took about two minutes, and this maniac wasn't getting there any faster than I was, despite this behavior.  I wish I had bought a G1W when I could afford to - it was so surreal. Well, I got your plates, too. The cops are more than happy to follow your plates upstream - but I'm pretty sure the car/plates are stolen.

I have a Magellan. If it was listened to, it would have me on a perpetual loop going on, and off cloverleaf exits on pretty much any offramp from a major highway. It hasn't been turned on in several years due to this. The 2009 SD card update is superb. If you touch anything, it freezes. If you set more than 3 destination points, it dies randomly between them. If you ask it to recall your membership IDs (AAA, etc), it is prone to redirecting you back home. You know, because gently caress that. I really, really, REALLY hated the navigation built into the SAAB. So, I used it in my West-East-West endeavor a couple years back. By the time I hit Penn, I didn't mind it. By the time I started heading back, and turned on "Avoid Major Cities", I absolutely adored it. I wish there were updates for it after 2008.

Bucephalus posted:These are the people you share a forum with. Quick, post pictures of our homes. ..and I'll tell you exactly why they're poo poo and Obama is to blame, evidently from my PMs. I didn't get a picture, but a local neighbor with a complete turd of a dark grey Nissan Cube tried to take out the garbage mans' shins when he was plainly colored IN BRIGHT loving GREEN AND HAD ABOUT HALF OF A STREET TO HIMSELF. She swirved, but that shouldn't have been even necessary - they weren't taking up but a quarter of the cul-de-sac, and it wasn't in the middle.

You are taking the wrong approach. "If only 144k are going to go to heaven, don't you think that recruiting me will slim your chances?" That worked really well in the 90s. I told the Mormons that I turned satanic for insurance purposes, then asked one of the guys if he wanted to make out. Last I heard, my folks still have a check on their house for most soul solicitors.
