stupid people have no respect

man. today while getting out of my driveway (basically 3/4 of my car's body on the road) some stupid white person driving a corvett honks hella times at me not letting me get out and then he drives fcking slow when i'm behind him. Then when coming home, there's this huge ass bump in the road right after a stop sign. I'm trying to diagonal it and another stupid white guy in a F.O.R.D truck just starts going and shakes his head. I would've done something but my mother and my sister were in the car so I couldn't.

This just goes to show that a lot of Americans have no respect for other people or other brand cars. People w/out courtesy for owners of small and lowered cars should not have a license. Jerks. I may have an asian car and I am an asian kid but I do know how to treat other people's cars with respect and I drive with respect to others as well. Only when I'm at a meet is when I can drive for playtime.

Assholes come in every shape, size, color, gender, religion, ethnic background, etc. Just look at it this way. You have a car too drive, house too live in, clothes too wear and food too eat. Life is not all that bad, right?

yea but i hate it when people almost hit my car with my mom in it. she doesn't like sitting in cars nor does she have her driving license. She's been hit by a bike rider in the past which made her even more scared of sitting in cars and such. Trust me, even at ta 10-15mph turn she'll grab the passenger side door handle like she was hanging on for dear life....imagine if we're so close to getting hit.

I am sorry to hear that.

May the 1st I was riding my road bike (bicycle) and was struck by a passing car which resulted in broken hip socket, broken rib, broken clavicle, concussion with brain hemrage. I lived to tell the tale and still feal after all that the fact that I am alive and healing vs crippled, or dead makes me the winner in all this. Believe me when I tell ya that it is ok to vent, but never lose sight of what ya got.

Yea I hear ya on that one. I survived my Tc flipping going around 80mph or so. The Tc was totaled and I was lucky to survive with only a scratch on my hand but my lower back has been bad and my hip and ankle (hip mis-aligned frm accident before along with fractured ankle) have gotten worse. How my Tc flipped? There were three big ass potholes and i dodged two of them then i missed the third pothole (biggest and deepest of them all) during a turn after getting off work at 2am. I don't know the extent of the pain you suffered form that incident but I can totally agree with appreciating what i have. I just had to vent because I've had so many close calls this week it just began pissing me off.

Anybody watch the movie Idiocracy? It is kind of funny but stupid. If you can get the plot of the movie you can see what is happining today . The smart people are dying out and the stupid multiply like a flock.

I live in the ATL and it gets worse everyday. I do not think it is our car 100%
I think it is people just dont care anymore. If I am going 70 someone wants to do 80. If I go 80 someone wants to go 90. I get cut off, tailgated and hogged in my lane by people that just dont care. Its not just the Yaris I get it in my Town & Country Mini Van also and also in my truck. Like office personel suffer from carpal tunnel. I suffer from road finger, It just keeps popping up.

Hey man I stopped doing road biking because of the same thing, some asshole cut me of and I ended up hitting a tree broke 3 ribs, ask me if the asshole even stopped to see if I was ok. Overall is unfortunate that we live in a society that people really don’t give a rat’s ass about anybody else. Like you can live 5 years in a place and never know your neighbors.

YES.

One of the dumbest movies I have ever seen, but the general idea seems to be such an accurate forecast of what will happen to humanity...

Come on, any hot, genius chick wanna procreate, just for the sake of making the world a better place?

If any one here would understand what I was saying it would be you eTiMaGo. I dont post much but I find your posts saying exactly what I would say.

My favorite quote from the movie is " Joe: Wow Starbucks! , I could go for a latte." Stupid Guy: Come on Joe we dont have time for a hand job now."

Also " Welcome to Costco, I love you."

I have the dvd at work it was stuck in a dvd player. I was going to throw it away but now I use it as a test disc. It drives my boss crazy so why not!

I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or some kind of freaky stalker comment

hey yrsdrgn, don't drive in Sac. there are some really dumb ass drivers here that really just piss me off. i hear ya, people have no respect for other drivers (over here, it doesn't matter who you are/they are or the cars).

i've been forced out of a lane that i'm 3/4th in already by some F-er that speeds up so that i can't go in (an they're at least 5-10 car lengths back). what i do now is leave the lane, re-enter it, and tailgate them and flash my highbeams to scare those SOB's!
