People who pull out in front of you, fail to accelerate to the speed limit quickly, and then start brake checking you after you had to already slow down significantly to avoid hitting their dumb ###. It's like if you were in that big of a hurry that you couldn't wait for 2 more cars to pass before pulling out, you need to get your ### up to speed, not go all road ragey because someone came up on you quickly when it's your fault that happened.

Then this guy has the nerve to throw a water bottle at my car when I was finally able to get around him. Luckily I was in the Miata. If he had done that shit to the Mustang I don't know what I would have done.

I always keep empty water bottles in my car to throw at peoples cars. I hate when people don't slow down quick enough when I cut them off.

Just tell me that my truck was already clean and you didn't need to wash it, or indicate that I usually decline the car wash because I don't want their grimy mitts swirling the paint. But definitely don't say that "We washed and shined your truck up for you...it looks great now!" when you did not. A small thing, but I was already a bit annoyed being the only service appt there, and that it took you over an hour to supposedly rotate the tires. I should've marked them before I went in. Guess I should check to windshield washer fluid they were supposed to "top off" as well. Grrrr.

I know I've complained about the free service before, and complaining about dealers is old news, but man...dealerships in pretty much every capacity SUCK.

Tut, you can't thank MIT for this post. If it weren't for dealerships, you wouldn't have a car. Always buy new. ALWAYS!

erod, how long have you lived in C Springs? LOL That's a regular occurance here, and I hate it also. I also hate how people blow red lights around here like I've never seen, especially when they're turning. Happened to me twice the other day within about 5 minutes, and the first time the guy had two cops behind him and they did NOTHING. That and people doing 35 in a 55.

I don't think I've made a post about this, but it grinded my gears this am- so here goes..

I hated the Gen2's when they came out. Now, everytime I see one with some exterior bling- I'm digging them. So much so that my Gen1 feels insignificant. I always thought mine was more desireable because the 2's were so lame looking.

Fuuu

Oh I know. I've lived here since 93. I just get less exposure to it now that I work from home and don't have to go out as much. I'm glad too because I seem to have a lot less patience with idiots as I get older.

I'm tired of it as well. I heard it is supposed to continue all weekend like last weekend.

same here, they totally grew on me... I want a white one, so i can make it green.
I think a big part of it is they look better in person than in pictures too

I'd definitely take a genpu over a catfish looking Focus ST, judging purely on looks anyway.
