Hahaha my missus yells at my mates when they do stupid stuff in my car she knows will annoy me. She knows I'm too polite to say anything haha

Me, exactly but I don't have a missus to tell them off ahaha..

People who eat in your car and say they won't spill anything.. They do.

When you try to merge onto the highway and no one lets you in

Braking extremely hard when they see a speed camera even though they were at the right speed limit

Just general observations of peoples behavior, with all sorts of cars including their own. Doesn't happen to my cars very often thankfully... But I expect it from non car people so I try to avoid having them anywhere near LOL

People who drive at night with their rear fog lights on when it's not even foggy.

Yep, probably 3/4 of all of those ugly blobby Hyundai Excel drivers did this back in the day. Thankfully it doesn't happen anywhere near as often now, at least from what I've witnessed.

Apparently it's illegal now and cops fine you for incorrect use of fog lights :S

Glad to see my taxpayer dollars are helping tackle the big issues...

Just thought of my actual biggest hate ever, but this won't be common to everyone.

I hate people who, when I'm giving them a lift open up their cigarette pack and get a smoke out without asking. My dad does every time I give him a lift. I don't smoke and I don't want my car to smell like a dodgy pub.

Don't just assume you can smoke in other people's cars guys

More hates of mine:

Treating the car as a trash dump. Shoes, towels, gym gear, socks, drink cans, maccas wrappers, pubes, boogers, sneeze, baby puke, spilt and dried up drinks, and the awesome smells that inevitably turn up after a few days in the sun

People driving without tshirts or singlets and the seats absorbing all the sweat, BO and human slime

People who don't bother to avoid large potholes or slow down for speed humps and just crash over whatever is in front of them, then complain about rattles

Touch parkers with tow bars that put huge dents or holes into the number plate or the front bar of the car behind

People who keep mashing the gas or the brake while driving at constant speed

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

yeah, only 80....

in a skyline.

farken hooooon :P

People who don't learn how to reverse park their over sized suv/4wd, take freakin ages doing it and still fail to park properly.

People who don't wave after you've given them space to change lanes, pull out of driveways, side streets, etc in traffic. Unappreciative twats.

People who always drive slowly into the Harbour tunnel then speed up. What's changed? it's still the same damn speed limit inside and out.

People doing under the speed limit in a T2 lane with no passengers in peak traffic, never get out of the lane.

Brake happy people tapping the pedal every 3 seconds. How about just taking your foot off the accelerator.

People sitting in your blindspot constantly when merging into a 1 lane, clearly knowing they have to back off so you can merge, but decide to at the last second within inches.

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
