This morning its beautiful out, so I go for a drive. Here in NY we had an awful winter, and the roads are just shot, total warzone.

Im not an idiot so when im on a road im not going to slam on my breaks but rather avoid the large potholes and debris.

Whenever I have to make a turn onto an uneven surface, like a parking lot/driveway/or even some streets I have to go slowly or I will scrape the cans, and front chin like crazy.

Today only two people honked at me while giving me the middle finger and cursing out their window, which is not too bad. Normally its a lot more.

Im not trying to be a ****, ****. Im just trying to not destroy my beautiful car. So sorry for taking 10 more seconds out of your extremely important day.

And no, getting as close to my rear bumper as physically possible is not going to make my car go any faster, and no I dont need a push...thanks anyway.
I honestly don't care about the people behind me - they can wait. And if they really piss me off, i'll take even more time. The way I see it: if something were to happen to your car, will they fix it?

huh? I'm talking about if you were to just pull in somewhere without slowing down, thus possibly damaging something from underneath your car, all because you didn't want to piss off the person behind you. i meant if you were damage your car, will the person behind you fix it.

You may want to re-think this comment. "I'll take even more time". Instead of taking the high road, you choose to be as bad as the person behind you.

Yes a couple of my friends with their families have moved there, guess they can't get away from the warm weather and ocean but want a lower cost of living.

My take on this topic is, if a lowered/modded car properly signals well in advance of a turn, then takes a few extra seconds to go up or down a driveway, I'm perfectly fine with that. By the way, my car is stock height. What irritates me is when a car, any car hits their brake first, then uses the turn signal after. I suppose if the OP did the latter then I'd be irritated no matter what, but the irritation level will probably rise, if he then took longer than normal to enter that driveway.

Also I'm not okay with slammed cars that are bouncing around so much that their drivers only drive 35 or 40 for their comfort, when the limit is 50 or 55 on our highways. As this person now becomes a nuisance and traffic/accident creator.
