Kool... First you need dirty dishes.

The rest of the recipe is here...

I'm not supposed to use my windshield washers because the guy behind me may catch some overspray? If you're close enough behind me that you catch some overspray, you're too close to my bumper. Flip out on the wrong guy about spraying you and you might end up with more problems than a few water spots. Fact: there's always someone crazier than you. That's why I don't drive like a complete tool.

I let my gas tank practically empty before I get gas almost every time. I drive plenty hard, and I have never experienced fuel starvation. Maybe some day I will

I don't quite understand the scenario of exiting the freeway at 25 mph and then speeding up to 50+ on the offramp, but Onz, Cyberium, and Bucketlist seem to be dead on in their assessment of the OP.

I should make a video of me chucking pennies out the sun roof while going 100mph on the freeway.

Oh wait.. We dont have sunroofs....

That sunroof looks like a food tray was attached to some brackets and plopped on the Z.

Hey, I didn't say I liked it. But you could definitely accomplish throwing pennies out the sunroof with it

Great thing about Germany - Serious road rage gets you a visit with the Polizei and possibly a visit to a shrink. Then you also might lose your license and driving privilege as well. Germans will absolutely call road rage in and then you get the inquiry from the Polizei.

The OP wouldnt last a week here.

I have heard about it too, I have also been told that you can get tickets on the freeways, EVEN THE NURBURGRING for passing on the right side, LOL

Passing on the right is a major not good thing to do. I dont miss the stuff I read here about driving in the US at all.
