WTF is wrong with people?

Last night we going down Alexandra pde entering the eastern freeway.

Some fcuktard in a bravo ute (or something like that) was carrying

1. a side table

2. a red MX5 hard top

Would you believe the hard top was leaning up against the table (unsecured), with the bit that fastens to the top of the windscreen poking up above the cab. Basically the back of the roof section was in the tray, front of the roof sticking up.

Low and behold, as he accelerated, and the wind increased, the roof became a sail, and flew back off the ute...

we were behind. Luckily we were far enough behind to see the whole fibreglass roof fly off, and skid along the freeway.

I swerved into the adjacent lane, knowing there wasn't anyone there, then HE SWERVED INTO THE SAME LANE AND PUT BRAKES ON!! WTF??? MORON!

He then decided it was a good idea to stop in the middle of the eastern freeway...

as I headed away from the carnage, I saw another car behind collect the roof...

thank god you or your car isnt damaged.

plenty of d!cks on the roads, like yesterday when my old lady almost got ran off the road by some d!ck in a 4wd. Cut into our lane because the person in front of him was doing a right turn, and we had to brake HARD to miss a collision. And to top it all off, the f*(ker started waving as if it was funny.

It's people like that, who deserve to crash.

Sounds like fun, lucky your alright.

I was driving behind a rather large truck witha big tray a couple of weeks ago that was full of steel. Behold a piece of box steel that was roughly 4 - 5 metres long, a good 20mm thick serious piece of steel, that was just balancing on top of random bits of steel sticking about half a metre above the tray top.

I decided to overtake him rather than be squashed and killed by flying steel :whistling:

lol

my cousin was bringing me a single bed for the kids room and thought cause of the weight (the base was on top) and the fact it was a high sided trailor he didnt have to tie it down... coming down stud road he was doing about 70 and WOOSH! away it went... lol went about 30ft in the air and came down on a XR8 bonnet... almost completely f**ked the bed thanks to that idiots car getting in the way :D

Trailor Hire - $50

Bed - $Free

Not tying down the load on the back of the trailor when driving down a main road at 70kmh - $580

:)

jesus i saw the same car but with less matresses! haha when i drive my truck/van or ute i get extremely paranoid when i load it up, i use ratchet straps all over the joint, id rather waste more time strapping it down then driving along and something goes flying i see it happens very often

Yeah im the same, drive a 4.5T Isuzu Pantech with barn doors that are have a padlock and I use 2 ratchet straps inside just to hold the freight still (anything up to 300 boxes a day and a few pallets).

On monday I seen 2 flatbed trucks within 2km blocking traffic due to losing their loads, couldn't think of anything more embarressing.

    • I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
