Progress?

The race is on...

Interesting quote:

I hate it when someone uses the slipstream behind me when I'm driving. I've had to have the tail-end of my car panelbeaten about three times since I got it.

On the pike in MA I had two business pricks from NY on my ass. I hate tail-gaters.
Big pet-peeve of mine. As we were going over a bridge I kept watching the driver.
Something about a bridge forces one to look at whatever it's crossing. When I saw his head turn...Bam!
Hit the brakes-hard. Next thing I see his his car dive as he slams on the breaks and
his buddies laptop bounce off the windshield.

I had a sh*t-eatin' grin all the way home.

I've nearly had accidents that way because I down shift a lot to spare my brakes the strain, especially after pushing the car hard. Of course when down shifting the brake lights don't go on to signal that the car is slowing down rapidly. One jackass in a Benz CL nearly rear ended my 86. Nearly being in an accident I pull over to see if anything happened. After a few minutes of cussing me out a cop pulls over to see if anything was wrong. Too make a long story short, I drove off a bit smug and he drove off with a ticket.

In the FedEx truck it's ok at stoplights. You know, the assh*le who's gotta' be a foot off
your bumper?

The rear camera is 10' up pointing down. Nice view on the busty ladies. 8O

Aaah, not true. If you're rear-ended and get pushed into a car in front of you because you're too close,
technically, you can be ticketed too.

Always leave an out.[/fucking defensive driving training]

If you can see the bottom of the rear tires, you've got room to pull out.

Maybe just a MA thing? Obviously not in a major wreck, but if you're rear-ended modestly
and you're too close to the car in front of you, and get pushed into that
car , you can get a ticket. Supposedly. Wouldn't be the first time I was wrong.

Could be just some b.s. the cop who did my driver's test years ago said. Weird how some
stuff you just remember, regardless of if it's true.

The defensive driving thing was refering to how it's driven into our heads,
not that you need it.

Why you...


*stooges' eye poke*

Worked like a charm.

Just please don't tell me to do anything with a VW/Audi wiring again. [/nightmares]

@Ninja
I also shift down a lot to spare brakes, and I mentioned in another thread the kind of life my clutches gave me on various cars. Both VW derivatives (the Passat and nowadays the Audi) last pretty well on the clutch. The Audi's gone 115,000KM so far since I got it, and I got 238,000KM off the Passat's clutch before the car itself died.

I do around 250KM mileage (kilometerage?) per day, about 100KM of that is through a series of passes both ways. And I drive reasonably hard - particularly if I've got some cowboy showing off on my pass.

Still, I suppose that's what I get for working in Cape Town and living in Franschoek...

You don't want to see the kind of week I've been having if I choose to use the 'nighttime toy' to work - a somewhat tweaked Quattro. Inherited, played with, and now enjoyed...

'Crying clutch and weeping brakes' sounds about right.

EDIT: Drifting is fun with an AWD. FWD (Audi) is still a little too hairy for me. Incidentally - you mentioned an 86. Would that be the infamous AE86?

* Contacts Tom to let him know that Ninja's house is empty *

Probably being detained at Her Majesty's Pleasure

Not really, no. I want to film it, and sell the footage to the News of the World. [/no class]

*Summons a Wingding upon the Llama*

*Bows to the ever helpful Irishman*

That would be a buushin (clone). You can pound away.. my ass will stay virgin. *Disappears and leaves a log of wood in his place*

That's right Wingy. A log of wood and a emotionless clone is all that you have right now. My ass will always be the one you come close to claiming, yet never quite do. Now go console yourself on a newb.

I'm thinking not, since I can still sit down. Besides, how is it possible for Wingy to penetrate SS, a couple of noobs, a Llama and a Ninja at the same time? Unless of course there are.. multiple... Wingdings *remembers dimensional rift, suddenly ass starts to ache* ..oh fu[i][/i]ck...

No pictures!

*shakes head*

Oh noes! Is no hole safe?

Hnn, apparently one needs to hold his credit card to avoid being penetrated.

I have to swipe my credit card through her camel toe before gaining entrance....

It's her way of checking my credit limit

She might snip something else in response.....

Yeah. I know
