Things That Really GRIND MY GEARS

-Incompetent drivers who cruise in the "fast lane" :rolleyes: who show no respect for the road or any sort of driving rules.

-*******s who speed up when you've been forced to pass them, but given the lacking nature of my 1.8L engine at highway speeds it normally puts me in a bad situation.

The stubborness of Internet Explorer... open up www.mx5atlanta.com in firefox and then in IE... you'll see what I mean. Why the f*** won't it respond to the same html commands as FF and use the scroll bar for bigger pictures!!

But I agree with #1 completely.

And there's always the most irritating one...mostly because it's obviously intentional...When someone is waiting to pull out from a side street, and obviously see you coming (sometimes even making eye contact) and then wait till the last minute to pull out just because they're bigger and they know you'll slow down.

Ash holllllles.

I find that if I point at that them and make eye contact they stop.

And Sawyer, I couldn't agree more. Had wayyy too many Trucks nearly crush me. The worst one was last week when a Tundra/Tacoma decided on a 2 lane into 1 merger that he just had to undertake me and force me into the highway. He was completely behind me!!!

Just because they're bigger doesn't mean they can just push us around!:rolleyes:

-I hate it when people wait till the last minute to get in a turning lane. Then they expect me to just let them in, even though they don't have their blinkers on.

-When I'm driving down I-285 and there is someone in front of me changing lanes with out their blinkers but are making a very slow transition. It's as if they are thinking "maybe if i go slow enough I won't have to use my blinkers."

RE: Things That Really GRIND MY GEARS

I was going to post that no one ever pulls out in front of me, and then yesterday struck and I had four people pull out of me throughout the course of the day, twice in the Mazda and twice in the parts truck. I don't know if people can't see white vehicles or what the deal is. The one that really pissed me off was in the morning, I was going down Dallas Highway after it crosses over Barrett. The right lane becomes a turn lane, and the left lane remains a normal traffic lane. People know this, so the right lane is empty and the left lane is usually clogged up. I'm going along at 45 or so (posted 45 MPH) and I see, off in the distance, an '08 or so GMC, one of the big SUVs, sitting in a side street on the right hand side.

He sees me coming, does nothing. Five or ten seconds go by, now I'm within ten car lengths of him, still going 45. Nine car lengths. Eight. Seven. He pulls out and comes to a complete stop, blocking my lane. He apparently was trying to force his way into the left lane, but the cars already there snugged up and prevented him from doing so. I had one hand on the wheel spoke and the horn as I dove to the right and whipped around him, the other arm up in the air with middle finger fully extended.

Do people think we're not as close as we are just because the car is so small? What's the deal?

It's called the lack of "Driver mod", I think those sort of offences are far worse than speeding on an empty highway.
