^^^you retired folks have the life, i tell ya! hehe!

 

1) Foglights. Because I don't know how to turn mine on.

2) Recumbent bikers. I realize these guys are just trying to get their new hops home from their homebrew club with no carbon impact, but they have no idea how ridiculous they look, with their beards and their guts that they aren't even using for leverage while pedaling a goddamn recliner. We have hills here. If we have to share the road with these bicyclists, they should at least be able to keep up with the other 10mph nuisances. I dont think there is a more arrogant group on the road.

 

I agree with all of you on nearly everything. One thing nobody else has mentioned that drives me nuts are tailgaters - especially when you have ten cars in front of you and it is obvious one cannot go any faster!

Larry you crack me up. I do that sometimes then I smile and wave at them when they finally pass you and that really gets their blood pressure up!

One other pet peeve - all the d^*@ trucks carrying gravel, etc. that don't put something over it and it blows all over the road on our beautiful cars. With over 150 roadway construction projects to go underway this summer, and all the other highrise projects, I guess we have to get used to this though.

 

This reminded me of something else..

All the lifted trucks that don't have mud flaps. It REALLY bothers me. Was driving on the highway one night and heard a really loud crack and couldn't see anything, the next morning I go in the garage and there is crack about 7 inches long running down my windshield. . Why should I have to buy a new windshield because a$$holes don't feel like using mud flaps.

 

It's usually a young bimbo driving a Honda that gets the most upset. I just blow them a kiss with a smile as they pass in exchange for the freeway salute.

Nobody mentioned the dork that speeds up when he sees you coming onto the freeway from the on ramp at merging speed. (That kind of antic makes the turbo so worthwhile.

 

+1 on trucks, especially if they're in the left lane!
People with cheap/crappy "HID" retrofit kits.
Ricers trying to "race" me.
Fart can/lawnmower/Grapefruit launcher exhausts.
People changing lanes through solid lines.
Distracted drivers.
The government trying to justify speed limits with safety BS when it's just an income program.
People braking before a hill so you have to accelerate on the middle.
People constantly tapping on their brakes.
People changing lanes without even looking.
People who have their blinker for 40 mins before they change lanes.
People who need an entire runway worth of space in order to merge.

 

Pickup trucks with unsecured loads... usually people being too cheap with their moves, so they try to do it themselves, and borrow their buddy's truck, while they could have coughed up 50 bucks to rent a U-haul. Things that almost hit/injured/killed me-- a coffee table on 405 in Kirkland, an ice chest on I-5 in Olympia, a 2x4 on 405 in downtown Bellevue, a log on Hwy 16 in Gig Harbor, sheet metal on I-5 in Federal Way... ****, I should have been dead a long time ago.

 

People waiting until the very last second to merge into a lane that is going from 2 to 1. On the way to my house, the main road goes down to 1 lane. During the afternoon, traffic can be backed up and there are always people waiting until the last possible second to get over. They even put up signs saying Right Lane End in 1000ft ... then 700 ft ... then 500ft. Some people are just that friggin iritating. If I'm in my truck of Denali, there is no way I let anyone in. Unless of course if is one of you.

Oh, and on the fog light thingy. My 993 has a seperate switch for the fog lights in the middle of the dash no where near the main light switch. It is always in the ON position. If I turn on my parking lights, then presto, fog lights on too. I do turn mine on almost all the time, even in the day. They act as daytime running lights. Sorry if some of you think it's poserish, but when you've lost a family member in a car accident, you do anything you can to be seen better and avoid accidents.

 

I turn my fogs on as well. But who am I kidding. I am a poser.......DJ will you show me where that switch is on my new car when it arrives

 

You are right on that. All the wannabe posers look to you for inspiration.

For a small fee, I think I could show you the switch. It's in a real hard spot to find so don't stay up all night looking for it. I wouldn't want you to be tired the next day and run into a ditch with my car.

 

You are getting another new car? Is it my imagination or do you get/have alot of really cool cars! What is coming? Are you keeping the GT3RS? And didn't that BEAUTIFUL white fcar just arrive?! I am so jealous!

 

Greta your new white Turbo inspired me. I haven't had a Turbo Porsche for almost a year now. So I went out and got the next best thing to your 997TT. I bought a 97' 993 Turbo S. You can guess the colors if you'd like.

 

THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL CAR - I LOVE THAT! If I could have one more, that would be the one (oh yes, and your white F430spider!) Your collection is just a dream come true!

 

lol... Mark - you are killing me here.

White 430 and 993 Turbo S!

Outstanding.

 

don't forget the white RS. it's my favorite
