A couple of the Mid-A Z guys and myself just left lunch and we were headed to the theater to catch Fast & Furious 6 when this kid in a Pontiac Solstice GXP insisted on doing hard accelerations next to us to show off the sound of his BOV. Wanted to give him a thumbs down.

After the movies and headed home a Genesis Coupe sees us and does WOT ricer-flyby while we were at a stop sign. :|

i carry disposable gloves, small bottle of QD, and paper & MF towels in my cars just in case im motoring and get hit by bird crap. after you're done with the paper towel, you can flip wrap your disposable glove around the used paper towel while taking it off your hand, and tie it at the top like a balloon, so you dont touch the crap at all.
Great idea. May have to do that to get those nasty spots that keep coming up.


Just make sure you don't keep ductape, rope, and a knife in there either - in case you get pulled over. Just kidding.

I beg to differ... check out my avatar also, Ms. Pintsize is exactly that, pintsized, and I believe would easily fit in the Z hatch. In fact, if I go to ZDayZ next year, she said she wanted to hitch a ride in my hatch and sleep in the tub

I don't know why but where I live it's always crazy ladys who are the ones who tailgate me and want to race me. They are usually driving a late model very ordinary car. I've been flipped off twice for no reason at all and both times it was by a woman.

lol! Those crazy women!


(I do not recall doing that . Ever. I did throw my hands up at a guy recently who pulled out in front of me. He was driving a full size king cab pick up and was pulling a 16 foot trailer w mowers. He smiled and toodled at me in his side mirror-oops ) lol

I was thinking more along the lines of that you wouldn't want the police to find your rape-kit in your car.

I throw my hands up every-friggin'-time this happens to me. So frustrating.










Couple of days ago, I'm cruising 50 or so in a 45 and this old lady in a Smart car doing maybe 35 changes lanes in front of me. Laid on the horn and just . Never once did she look over and apologize once I got along side.




Then, last night after I dropped my friend off after the game I had a long freeway cruise. Decided to take the interchange a little quickly and well, this Miata thought that meant I wanted to play. So he followed suit and then pulled up along side me and paced me. I just pulled out my phone and made a call to someone to talk about the game until he went away (I'll only drive and talk if I'm on the freeway, going straight, and with no traffic).


There's no way A) I'm going to race. B) I'm going to race on Memorial Day night where there are a ton of cops on the roads. Some people just don't think.

I was going to pick up some dinner and was signalling to get into the left when this Saturn Ion sped up to block my lane change. Wtf? This idiot had been driving at my tail in the left lane for about a mile and could've passed me whenever since it was just us two on the road.

I had a hobo do that to me, but I said "where do you think all my money went? do you have any pointers?"

Edit* Also on topic, people accuse me of driving my daddy's car, I'm 26, I thought I was beyond this. This has happened more than once, the last guy asked me what I did for a living and for shock value(and because I was rather annoyed) I told him I was in the adult entertainment industry. He made a rather funny face.

I'm in Iowa, a ton of people drive trucks, they don't really understand that the $40k they spent on their truck could be used to buy something fun.
