the LA drivers, i really should say drivers in SoCal, cannot f*&kin' drive that well, i mean there are some people that should not be on the damn road, they are a hazard. I get cut off here and there, and stupid drivers come up when they know you are mergin on the freeway, but they tailgate you and flip you off anyways, now that is jacked off.
one time, i had a truck driver cut me off, and then he flipped me off, i was like....what the h*ll is going on, and just let him ahead, he went to another lane and turned off an exit. I just try to avoid the road rage in its entirety. If they want to have the damn road, then i let them, but still it gets me mad, but it is not worth it.

it's the same in NY and Near the NY border in CT.. i've leaned to deal with it.. a taxi would not let me into the lane that goes for the NJ turnpike, so I made a way in with my Subaru, and he backed off.

WOW!!!!!!!!!! you guys make me sound like a good driver
Actually....I'm not all that bad, just a tiny bit reckless now and then. I've been tailgated before....when I'm driving 20 mph over speed limit too
I was driving in the car pool lane once with my brother in the car with me and this guy was on my ass and the chance he got to the other lane, I told my brother he goin to pass me by and my brother told me to speed up. So when i saw him bout to come up and make the pass, I floored the car and he did too and then i saw that a car as in his lane so i slowed down and let him pass. He flipped me off for 5 seconds while driving away
Don't see why people need to drive so fast and pass up other people when there are many lanes to drive in as MixxDreamer mentioned _________________

crazy drivers are out there, sometimes you gotta let the maniacs pass, even while doing 80 on the hwy, they might be flyin at 95, let them get the ticket.
safety comes first, and the finger shouldn't do the talkin to the idiots.

Yep, I know what you mean bro. I drove down to LA this weekend and it only reaffirmed what you just said. So I feel you on that one.

The Tach in my Sig in from my Forester, fastest I've ever done was 105 in it I ran out of room, and too many car going on the other side of the road, did not want one of them to be a cop.. I'm sure the speed limiter is the same as my 98 Forester which is around 118 Mph
the Turbo is like 130.
Anyways...
on long drives I don't tend to be that tough on driving.. However going back I do, because I want to get home...

It did look like he was going 82mph while tailgating me and then up to 95mph before me slowing down to pass him up. Then the stupid thing is he eventually slows down and drives my pace after passing me.....I don't understand that...speed up just to pass me and drive my pace. That Baka yaro _________________

dude, i hate when stupid people do that, i mean why, so they can see my face and flip me off or what?!, they passed you, and wanna start some sh*t, it is a waste of time. they should just get a life and grow up and drive onward, some people just haven't learn to grow up.
i think driving is all about safety and attitude, if they can't handle it, then the damn car keys should not be in their hands. it is two ton of metal that they are driving and it is hazard if they cannot adhere to the rules of the road. I mean people speed, that is pretty much the norm, but people driving recklessly and flipping people off to tick them off, that is jacked, so jacked up...

Yea, they more hazardous then me when I'm reckless. I just corner faster then I should be in my car (5-10 mph faster...tires screech and my friends say the car is bout to tip *feels like it, but its not*), but I don't go all over the place. Like changing lanes w/o checking mirrors or looking over shoulder or drive past some1 to show them the finger IT is messed up and thats one of the many ways accidents are caused _________________

yeah, cornering fast is one thing, i sometimes corner fast a bit, but i try to be a safe driver overall. I think there is difference from being a bit reckless and fast, and just being a BAD and RUDE driver that some of these drivers on the road.
you got some wide good tires, they will help out in the cornering, and performance, but what do i know about this kind of stuff, i am not really into cars much. not sure on the specs of the tire, but had a honda with some decent tires to help with the cornering, R15 60 P205, think it was something like that....

I corner hard as well.. I do about 20-25 depends on how tight it is..
However if I have pasengers in my car who are older then me, then I dont do anything stupid.. most of the time when I'm tired and just want to get home and some idiot wants to race I just let him race on his own.

Yea, a difference between fast drivers and Rude & Reckless drivers. I hope to not come across them that much in the future.
I have no idea about tires....still new to the whole specs of cars and whats good for a performance car. I want to learn more on this. Should ask about this in the cars thread. All i know is the tires i got now on my durango is the one that has always been there. I think I'm killing them a bit _________________

LOL. That just brought up memories. I was driving my brother's friend home and I had to make a left turn into her street and I was going 40 on a 35. Brake and turn left and I was going 30. My tires on the right side almost hit the sidewalk. My brother was shouting "FOOL this isn't Initial D" Scared him and his friend. Poor girl never asked for a ride again. WHich is good because I don't like giving people rides where I will have to end up driving into areas I'm unfamiliar with *another thing that bugs me*
Let him race on his own. Reading it, how you say it, it sounds funny but thats smarts. No need to race. I'm done with racing on the street. Raced my friend once, beat him, but we had to make a right turn. Luckily the light was green. I had to slow down from 80 mph *was going through a 40mph zone* to 30-35 don't quite remember, but I ended up taking the turn and my cars was on 3 wheels. Mentioned this before, but that was how I ended up doing that. _________________

haha when I got new shoes for my car (tires) and the old ones came off, I see I was corning so hard that I was riding on the the sidewall.
haha if your quick and know what your doing, it's fun to go around a corner at 30 Mph with the throttle tot he floor (AWD) and then just let off of it fully, the weight shifts to the front and side, and it causes the rear end to start to fishtail, then you get back on the throttle and it snaps back in line.
I'm so friken pissed off I can't find my snow Video.. it would of been perfect as a sig..
Only thing is this Stock Subaru LSD is a bit weak.. it takes a bit of spinning for the fluid to heat and transfer.. I was playing around in the snow and I could feel the other wheel play catch up.
haha I think it fun to go from 80mph to 20 in under 6 Sec.. hard on the brakes, so I dont do it often.

Recently, ever since I've started working in downtown again, I forgot how irritating all of the homeless are when they ask you for change or cigarettes. Shit, I'll throw them a couple of pennies however they have to kill me to get a cig from me. And if that's not bad enough, it's usually the same ones asking me.
Putting up with that everyday bothers me a lot! _________________

There are homeless people everywhere. They might have lost their job, and considering the higher cost of housing there, it doesn't take much to fall behind in the mortgage/rent payments.
