where the trails are
schoolhouse rock is responsible for my passing of a good percentage of my tests in grade school.

I channel all of my hate to a single individual.

NORCAL is the hizzle
Anyone driving slower than me is an idiot, and everyone driving faster than me is a crazy person.

-George Carlin (RIP)

That pretty much sums it up.

Oh, and people who don't use turn signals, particularly in crowded urban areas where other people need to know what the fvck you're about to do.

There is a special place in hell for those bastards who camp out in the passing lane going the speed limit or (worse) intentionally matching the pace of cars in adjoining lanes to prevent passing. Go slow if you want, just get the hell out of the way.

In general, I wish more people would drive with purpose, focus, and intent, not to mention a dash of (un)common courtesy.

Duh, Austin
How about the waitress who doesn't feel the need to write down your order. Someone at the table (of only 4) says "don't you need to write this down?" No, I got it. Then she finishes with the fourth, circles back to me to ask me my order. Thought you had it down?

Asks another guy later when he gets up to take a leak.

My order comes. (Ordered straight off the menu). It's wrong. Worst part? She forgot the BACON.

Wtf?

How about the car wash guy at the audi dealership that sprays degreaser on a custom set of 1 off $8,000 rims and royally ****s the centers and lips up.

How about that ****ing asshole. Take car in for $500 trans service pick-up to wheels that are ****ed. Then they go back and polish the haze and **** out only to use a ****ing high speed polisher that then throws black/grey polishing compound all over every ****ing inch of the wheel in every impossible to reach place around all the bolts. Only to not even wipe off 90% of the wax and hand me my keys like cars done.

No dude, it's not. Not even ****ing close. I'll take a loaner and you can have the car until the 2 week old wheels are back to the same shape they were when I brought it in. that immaculate.

Seriously what idiot sprays degreaser. Use ****ing soap you moron.

I hate people who put lettuce on hot sandwiches to go. Ketchup on eggs. If you put ketchup on eggs you are probably an asshole.

Brake pads would love the degreaser too, still a pretty piss poor clear if it can't stand a degreaser, I hate people that use **** products. Get 'em shiny and get some Por-15 Glisten PC on to the rims, that stuff is magic!

Also the centre was made from a forged billet or a forge was made just for your wheels? That would be impressive!

I don't think the PC took a hit, it looked alright. just they returned the car to me twice each time it looked worse. The centers were a forged t6 6061 billet that was CNC'd to a custom profile. (the old OZ Turbo center.) Obviously a forging wasnt made just for one set. The fact remains, the dealership took my car in, turned it back way worse than delivered. Everytime I go in they all talk to me about the car or whatever wheels are on it.

The hoops are polished raw, and all i wanted was them to polish the lips back after getting hazed from the acid degreaser. They're hopefully handling it all and i'll get it back stoked. otherwise they get split and the hoops refinished since theres so much flung **** all around every bolt (its gonna be a pita for someone to clean)

Hahaha, idiots, they deserve the dramas you are giving them.

You seem to know stuff, would you know if any road going Ferrari wheels are Magnesium? Dropped in to a mate's place yesterday and the wheels on his 360 had oxidized pretty badly and wants to get them re-sprayed, if they are Mag would your usual alloy etch primer still work on it?
Also when you get three piece rims separated and painted do you put anything on the mating surfaces to stop them going to ****? I know they can't be painted.

This was a car thread right?

I hate people that take threads OT ;)

I know BBS and Dymag have made magnesium centers, both with Ferrari bolt patterns. I dont know the refinishing side of magnesium at all. I think most of those wheels were hard anodized, i think. not at all sure about that though.

Typically I don't think they put anything on the mating surfaces. None of my 3-piece wheels i've ever broken apart have anything on the surfaces beyond whatever the center finish is. It also depends on how the wheels are build. sandwhich mount the face mounts between the barrels. Face or reverse mount. My wheels the inner barrels are PC'd black. Faces are brushed with a PC over and lips are polished.

or you're three years old. I can't quite figure out what it is about ketchup that my son likes, but with it on, he'll eat just about anything.
My uncle is the same way but he is 68. My eggs are the best. I work hard to put out good food for my Family. Then they take the salt, pepper, and ketchup out and I want to kill them. They don't even taste it first, just idiots the Irish are. Boil the crap out of it, serve it in a pan family style with a pound of salt and a half bottle of ketchup....

I always get the guy with the riced out STi who wants to drag on the street. I have yet to meet a Subie owner who knows how to drive it in anything other than a straight line. I feel bad for the car.
I was quite good at pirouetting mine, if you recall, both on and off the track (oops).
Aren't you kinda old to keep taking the bait? :busted:

And you, of all people, should know what happens when you try to drive around curves...

Toshi, you were the exception, not the rule.

What's worse is the guy in the Civic who thinks it's a race car. :rofl:

I used to love seeing all the import guys roll through Woodburn with their time still on the windshield after import day. 16.25 in the 1/4 mile, nice work. :thumb:

<edit> For reference a bone stock 6 speed manual 2001 Corvette runs an average 13 second 1/4 mile.

A 2007 Civic runs a 14.7 and it's an old people's car with four seats, pretty good fuel economy and there is enough room in the trunk for important things like 50kg of amps, bog and fibreglass.
The quick ones are down in to the 9s with no turbo which is pretty impressive for a FWD.

Former Mini owners are on my hate list, they made owning Minis ****, I don't care that you owned one, I don't walk up to every Camry owner and strike up a convo.

I have no idea where I am
Being self-employed, I have the luxury of not sitting in bumper to bumper rush hour traffic every day. However, I took my dad to the doctor this afternoon and subsequently got stuck in said traffic which was backed up all the way through downtown. We were sitting still for a minute or so until cars ahead began to speed up. The chick in front of me, in the left lane of course, is texting away as the next car is now 8-10 car lengths ahead. So like any rational person would do, I laid on the horn. She glances up, then goes right back to texting, moving only a few feet at a fvcking snail's pace. So I lay into the horn again, and she starts to creep along. The lane next to me opened up and I was able to get around her. I look back and she's still camped out in the fast lane while other cars are going around her. Ughhh...

I can't really hate people who are legitimately unintelligent. It's not their fault they were born like that. It's the ass-wads that choose not to use that glob of gray matter between their ears and act like complete morons.

If you can read, obtain a valid driver's license, or use indoor plumbing correctly, then you should know better than to text and drive.
