Morons mechanics with air rattle guns not on right torque settings.
My son had his TF Magna had 4 new break pads installed for rego & had rego check, fast forward about 1 month latter I had to remove 1 of his front wheels to check a camber bolt / install due to wheel aligment ( tyre place never took tyre off)
Anyway go to get wheel off use normal tyre wrench from car no movment . After a lot of swear words I had to get a pice of water pipe about 750mm long & I had to stand on the end to crack the nuts . BTW I am 95kg . Tried other 3 wheels yep you guess it the all the same. This car has factory alloys , saw him & told him what to do with his rattle gun.
Hes same age as me 50 I said your to do them up light & them check buy hand. Good thing my son didnt have a flat or some thing

Totally agree Erin, I have done this many times, I see alot of people pretty often try and merge onto 100km/h duplicated roads at 50 or 60km/h, like seriously how can you merge at this speed?

Yeah I can see how that's frustrating. If people merged at the right speed, then no one needs to cross the white line. I'm just the sucker which doesn't want to break the law and I get stuck behind the guy merging at 50kph :P

Having a passenger in the back who you don't know (a friends friend, giving them a friendly lift home) makes the comment...

'I don't like these CVT Mitsubishi's, the noise drives me crazy'

GTFO! Nobody asked for your opinion and nobody values it either! Get out and walk!
Sportback... because everything sexy needs an ass!

the people that fly up a lane they know is about to end because they want to get in front of other drivers


as kimmy said.

its more so surprising when they are still cruising past long after that lane has ended then proceed to drive in the bike/emergency lane

On the subject of merging, people who stop at the start of a merging lane and blocking everyone behind them
(Sorry if that's been said)

Think any complaining about someone elses car or driving when you're a passenger is uncalled for.
Be appreciative that you're basically being chauffeur (that right??) driven

If someone said that to me, I would stop the car and be like "OUT!"

Even in my old car I did this. Sure it was in a fairly crummy shape, but it's my car and they are being driven around so no complaints or GTFO.

OH I wanted someone to say this.
Ok, so at one point right I was playing my K-Pop in the car, my friend complained and changed the music to what he has on his phone.

Let's just say he never ever got another ride from me, ever again.
