rant!

What is your favorite rant? Poor drivers, cold and snow, long winters, ricers with fart cans, just what ticks you off the most? I guess mine would be c--y motors in Fords. Be creative as the best one wins something, not sure what but it maybe something.

I have a driving one from this morning...AFter all the rain and ice. I was coming up taylor, just about to the hill that climbs up to acadia and traffic was backed way up. Turns out up ahead there are 2 ricers that still had on there low profile 12" racing tires and couldnt make it up the hill. To make matters worse everyone jamed into the lane to go around them so It really slowed down.
Then just to top it off I got stuck behind the guy who let everyone cut in ahead of him.

I waited here longer than you and no I wont be letting you in here in front of me.

What I hate is the drivers that pass a pack of us on the highway. You know where they pass more than one vehicle. I seen so many times where they pass 6 of us at once and then deek back in when traffic is coming, causing us other drivers to check up and give room or else have an accident. Then what really burns me is that they get to the fronyt of the pack and then slow down. They have that mentally that they are leaders and need to be out front.

Good one 85b2. I had 3 of them all at once on my block, and I live on the corner. They rev the hell out of It all the way down the block, starting from my house. It was satisfying though to watch the clouds of blue smoke each time they shifted...(obviously from constant over reving to hear themselves) smiling and knowing that there days are numbered.

Yeah those boomers bug the heck out of me too. They pull up and you start to wonder if something is going wrong with your truck.
There is someone my way that drives by and you can actually hear them coming from over a mile away before he passes my place. Must be nice to need hearing by 30.

And on top of ice roads, going faster then the flow of the traffic on Circle drive. They zig and zag between the two lanes on every little opening and a mile later I am behind them at the lights!

I hate the ones that pull out and pass you only to slow down and make a right turn as you continue on straight ahead.

I've been to Saskatoon, and the drivers there are a close second to Winnipegs drivers
