I HATE this too, and also those clowns that wait right up until their lane closes before they merge. Screw them, if I have enough courtesy to prepare myself to change lanes from 100m before it closes, what do they think makes them so f'king special? AggroDave and I were talking about this today from when I continually held off some clown on the M4 who thought he'd be able to merge in front of me, then got the shits when I wouldn't let him in.

Not that I would condone or endorse this behaviour, but I "may" have found that Maccas thickshakes on windscreens "might" provide a solution to this impatient driver cutting in problem. lol

Girls!!!
* Keep your fingernails well clipped on the hand that lifts the door handle
* No stilettos on the carpet
* Don't leave tissues behind on exiting
* Keep the LR wheel clear of the gutter; in fact both nearside ones
* Multitasking does not include drinking expresso, applying lippy and texting at the same time
* The mirror for applying lippy is under the passenger side visor - not whilst in the driver's side using the rear vision one

* Keep your mobile in your handbag - no FOMO
* Keep tabs on the fuel gauge - E does not mean exxy
* If you hear something flapping, I don't care if your skirt is too short, investigate
* If a light comes on in the dash, it's not meant to just look pretty
* A seat belt is not meant to be uncomfortable - it's a test of tolerance and compliance.
* If you're being driven, give your man enough time to get there without speeding or deviating through a Maccas
* Offer to pay for half the fuel - after all, the man is already footing time and money for maintenance
* Rub the man's neck and shoulders after a strenuous drive
* Don't nag whilst the man is driving - don't expect him to multitask like you 'can'
* When reversing, do a head count of the children
MALE COMMONSENSE has spoken!

In theory, and purely as a hypothetical, would a can of Coke poured over paint work as well?

Waiting to turn left from a single lane road onto a multilane road. Two left lanes are empty, one car in right most lane. That one car in right most lane decides to move into the left most lane, causing you to wait even longer.

Dumb f**ks who don't know where to stop to turn their vehicle. i.e from a single lane road wanting to turn right, they sit in the left most of the lane EVEN THOUGH there is more than enough room for left turners to lean left and right turners to stay in the middle.

People who reverse in the middle of traffic because they cross the white line by 1cm.

People who tail gate when driving up steep ramps, e.g parramatta westfield carpark ramp.

People who beep their horns in drive at mcdonalds, starting a chain of beeping wankers. The beeping won't cook your food faster.

People who double park then open their doors and get angry at you when you drive past, in a single lane road.

People who put my windscreen wipers up

People who text at lights, people who text while driving

People using left lane must turn left or ending lanes to overtake waiting traffic. If I see you do this, I will block you. Prime example, westbound on parramatta road x james ruse drive T intersection.

People who you overtake for driving under the speed limit, then being overtaken by the same person doing 100km/h only to have them slow down infront of you again. Overtaking you isn't meant as an insult, its meant as a get the f**k out of the way.

People who give learner drivers the wrong advice from the get go.

This list could go on forever.

People who stop 3m behind the white line at a red light.

People (two or more different people), who park on a suburban street (say, maximum 2-3 lanes unmarked), on opposite sides of the road, right at the entrance of the road- thus creating a bottleneck in/out of the road - too lazy to park that extra 5m into their driveways (I found out they were too lazy because the morning after I left a thinly-veiled note on their windscreens, cars were magically parked in driveways/only on one side of the street - they had continued their previous behaviour for MONTHS prior, and now, not a single repeat).

People who get all road-ragey at you when THEY'RE the one in the wrong. Like the guy who felt the need to gesture out the window and swerve all over the road and point at the speed camera because I dared to come up behind him doing 80 in a 80 zone. He was doing 60. And no I didn't tailgate or anything.

Nothing makes me want to ram someone off the road, grab them by the throat, and explain to them why they're a f**kwit more. If I was the violent type. Which I'm not :P

This conversation has stayed with me as a reminder as to the calibre of people on the road.

After I nearly got wiped off the road by someone trying to merge on top of me we pull up to a set of lights, windows down.

Wat mate?

Me: it's called a blind spot, maybe you should check it sometime.

Him: if it's a blind spot, then how am I suppose to check it?

All I could do was laugh and shake my head in disbelief.

drive off, he then pulls into my lane and in front at the next set of lights. Then tries to fake reverse into me.... Sigh.

In car etiquette that drives me insane:

Jamming the passenger door into the ground then getting into the car, putting more weight on the side of the car and jamming the door deeper, then pulling hard just to get it unstuck. Extra nasty if the door is stuck against the concrete sidewalk

Dragging shoes and bags over the door sill plate, door trims and glove box lid while getting into the car

Jamming the seat belt buckle into the centre console since they can't be bothered looking where the clasp is

Playing with sun visors or power windows non stop

Dragging stuff over the boot loading lip or bumper bar while loading and unloading

Leaving windows partially open during rain

I hate passengers!

^ AHHAHAHAHA wow, who do you take in your car? Thank goodness most of my friends love their cars too, so take (relative) care when they get in mine. Also, my gf nearly cried once when she opened the door and it scraped on concrete - not her fault though because the sidewalk kerb was ridiculously shaped/sized/height. And she takes absolute care in the car, and putting stuff into the boot/taking it out. She knows I love the car...sometimes more than her :ph34r:

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
