My chiropractor was flipped off for going the speed limit in the right lane on an empty highway. Not sure what some ppl's problems are but they better calm down before someone like Dexter shows up in their garage. It's easy to get caught up the road rage so stay safe everyone.

Bad idea, friend did something similar and ended up getting sued.

Everybody thinks they're a great driver and the people around them are lousy drivers. Simple logic says that somebody is wrong. Most of us are more/less average - we make mistakes all the time, but do an Okay job avoiding the big ones that are most likely to have serious consequences.

My opinion is that virtually all drivers should concentrate more on their own driving and stop worrying so much about others. As a driving instructor, I've found the worst drivers are often those who bi^ch the most about how other people drive.

Words from a driving instructor! Drive with confidence people. The mini cooper(s) has a lot of potential. Turn the that steering wheel hard enough to allow the DTC to kick in once awhile. OR BETTER YET TURN THAT **** OFF AND LET THOSE TIRES SCREEEECH. Thanks, and have fun!

Okay well then I will remember that when I hit the back of the truck or side of it. Or when I let the guy ram his car into my front end.

I will keep that in mind and next time I drive, I will drive like a complete ****head. I guess it'll help anyways to keep carbon buildup off the valves!

Sort of like that Rob... But turn it down a couple notches. I like the enthusiasm though.
