The Rant Thread

Another driving rant...

Heading to Wawa to grab a quick lunch, and some woman driving her soccer-mom grocery-getter, starts floating into my lane because she was too fucking busy texting on her enV with 2 hands...and from looks of things she wasn't using her knees or elbows to hold the damn steering wheel. It was only after I bailed into the right turn lane for the Wawa did she realize what she was doing and correct herself. That's a case of where I wish we all had bumper car style bumpers on our vehicles, so I could have sent her flying into a frickin' tailspin!

Murphy's Stout is cheaper than Guinness and tastes just as good.

A woman did that to me while I was driving home from a Terps game last year. She was coming in my lane so I had to drift to the left to avoid her, only I hit a high curb and blew out my front tire. The dumb bitch never realized she did it so she just kept on driving and yakking away on her cell phone. Luckily I had a full sized spare because that was almost a year ago and I'm just now getting the spare replaced.

I did that about a year ago. I drove on my spare for about 6 months and screwed up my alignment so bad it cost me an extra 300 for some new longer bolts that did something. They told me the alignment was so bad that I had run out of the factory adjustment tolerance. I am not exactly car savvy so they could have been lying to me. It was a full size spare too. The wear pattern was so bad that I had metal showing on the inside sidewall.

I lucked out with my car a little bit. I'm getting a bunch of work done, including getting my heat fixed which hasn't worked for over a year (that 45 minute drive to work in the winter was a real bitch), but my dad just built the shop owner's son's house so they're giving me a good deal on the work. I was going to have all 4 tires replaced but they were cool enough to tell me that the back ones are fine and that I only really need 2 new ones. Luckily the shop realizes that my dad and I have a big family in the area and that good customer service will go a long way.
