Merging is fine but when people do it in such a way that everybody in that lane has to adjust for that one person when they force they're way in it really annoys me. Im all for having fun on the road but you need to respect others who are doing the right thing.

Good point.

But, I won't mind paying 20 bucks more or something, not 40 or something ridiculous. And remember, EB isn't just in Australia. :P
JB does it right I guess, they usually sell a game around 20 bucks more expensive than the game sells in the US these days. It's still a lot, but at least it isn't a ridiculous amount (I remember getting Black Ops for 80 bucks a day after it came out, and EB was selling it for 110..)

And in regards to that, EB makes a LOT of money from pre-owned sales, so having copies of a game code-locked to only work on one console would ruin game stores altogether.

Yeah i hate how overpriced console games are in australia. i never have nor ever will buy any games at full price. i usually buy them from uk at least almost on par with us sales. save so much but you will have to wait a week or so.

That was what I actually meant, realised after it wasn't really worded very well. :)

I hate it when you are driving up a hill and someone in front of you is going slower and then there is an overtaking lane and they stay in the right lane right behind someone driving in the left lane so you have to slow down....especially if you had to drive a manual.

The last place I took my car to for a wheel alignment just deflated the front right tyre to compensate for the car's tendency to veer to the left. 36psi all round, 30 on front right.


Also my fault for taking so long to check tyre pressures (~3 weeks). I bumped it up back to 38psi all round. Car's handling is now the way it was before the 'alignment'. Also recorded on my dashcam on the day: technician test drove it 2 minutes down the road, pulled over to the kerb and made a 17 minute personal phone call before driving it back to the shop.

Is there not one honest person working in the automotive profession?!

I end up doing work on my car where I can, but I'd prefer not to... I'm happy to pay someone to do it, but it seems I can't get anyone competent to carry out basic car maintanence related services without giving me a bigger headache in the process.

Dealer servicing: I pay dealer rip-off prices, including extra for services in addition to the logbook specified. Have an issue - raise it with them. They don't follow up, don't hear from them ever again.

Independent mechanic: overfills the sump, uses their cheapo third party products when I supplied the original overpriced OEM items to them in the first place, and can't answer questions related to my specific vehicle without resorting to generic answers (related to spark plug heat ranges).

Sometimes I feel like it takes too much to be an automotive enthusiast. I should just give up and trade it in for a Camry....

It's scary leaving your car with people who don't care about it the way you do :(
