Stupid Pet Peeves

Asshats that buy a sports car or muscle car and refuse to go anything faster than 10 MPH below the speed limit. Do they not realize it only makes them look even douchier?

Yeah, that one kind of bothers me as well.

Lol. I have an '81 Corvette that has a very aggressive stance/tires that isn't as fast as it looks. I get people pulling up to me all the time, egging me on to roast my tires. Only problem is, even though it has a newer motor in it, most everything else is original. Needless to say, I'm not real keen on trashing my rear end or busting something else by trying to impress strangers. If I had everything matched up with new parts/equipment, then I'd probably revert back to the driving habits of my teen years, but until then, I think I'll continue to drive like an old man. I like driving cars a lot more than turning wrenches and dumping money into a black hole.:p

I came up on a guy in a brand new Charger yesterday on the freeway. He's in the middle lane doing no more than 10 below the speed limit. That's where road rage starts.

Not as bad as the ******** who buy a muscle car with a v-6 and pretend it's fast. I can't think of anything douchier than that other than putting a can of bees onto the exhaust of an early 90's Civic and refusing to shift up. That and the door post fire extinguisher on a car that does 0 to 60 in about 30 seconds.

LOL @ driving like an old man!

One of the funniest things we ever saw was about 15 years ago, when Cadillac Escalades were a new model and we were driving from Denver to go skiing and there was this white Escalade on the highway next to us, going about 10-15 miles below the speed limit with the little (very little) old man driving - - his hands held tight to the steering wheel right at 10:00 & 2:00 and his eyes barely cleared the top of the dashboard. It was a real incongruous sight - - and ever since, whenever we spot a white Escalade, we remember that little man in his big white luxury truck and start laughing.

Anyhow...

On to a pet peeve - those extra plush, thick, heavy, over-sized bath towels they have in hotels that are impossible for a normal sized person to use effectively.

By the time you manage to dry yourself, you've worked up such a sweat you almost need another shower.
