So, in about two and a half months time I'll be visting the USA for two weeks, staying mostly at a small town called Groesbeck 45 minutes away from Waco. As a little bit of entertainment I've decided to make this little bingo sheet for myself, and see how many of the stereotypes I've read so much about I'll actually be able to spot

What I need is help to fill out the blank spots. Do your best, /o/

Why do purists get buttmad when people LS swap JDM cars?

It's not your property, so why give a fuck?
I plan on LS swapping my next gook car, probably the RX7. Way cheaper to maintain, powerful and reliable engine.


Give me a reason why one shouldn't do that.

I'm a Texas resident and am done with tickets. My foot isn't getting lighter so I'm not slowing down.
I drive a BMW 335i and have been racking them up through the years.

I'm done trusting my eyes because the cops in these small towns wait for the day some one living hours away comes through for easy money.


What radar detectors/LIDAR Jammers do you recommen as well as anything else plate covers to a police scanner in the car?

I'm planning on the Valentine1 as well as the AntiLaser Priority.

Thanks for anything and everything /O/

American drivers are fat and lazy. Their roads are stupidly wide and simple and thus accommodated to suit this type of driver. American driving tests are so easy a child could finish them. There's absolutely no skill, professionalism and effort involved compared to driving an automotive vehicle on West European roads. American drivers would never survive a day on European roads. Europeans learn to drive stick from the day they are born. Nobody drives an automatic, except lazy and inept people (handicapped). Driving test in the United States consist of 5 lessons, one in Western Europe consists of 40 to 50 man hours with a professional and licensed driving instructor. In the first lesson the learner is already expected to fully learn how to drive stick and be able to ride on efficient European highway system and the German Autobahn. Your parking skills in different scenarios, your city-center driving, highway skills, your car control, viewing behavior, whether you give priority, catching up, input and output, driving at intersections and roundabouts, acting in stressful and dangerous situations, interactions with civil servants, understanding all major traffic rules and signs, using navigation, using the lights in different environments, inspecting and maintaining the vehicle, positioning and understand the technicalities involved, are all tested. The total exam takes 1 hour to complete. American drivers would simple get a heart attack from their high Cholesterol
levels and be total inept children if they were put on European roads. This is also why they need gigantic vehicles to make up for this lack of skill. No shame in admitting it. Put a European driver against an American and the European would win every time. Leave the toy "cars" to the Americans, while the Europeans will stick with driving the true Automobile. Heh, you think you can drive? Come to Europe. I dare you, faggot.

Anyone else tired of seeing these fucking monstrosities all the time? I remember 10 or 15 years ago when this trend came over from across the pond, everyone made fun of it. But then we ate that shit up and suddenly it's the new norm.

Most of these things don't even have AWD (sometimes not even as an option) or high ground clearance anymore. It's just a heavy car with a high center of gravity and therefore slow and bad at handling. And because they are inherently more expensive than normal cars but even poor people still want them, they buy the cheapest versions. Bland, uninspired, ugly cars with stupid names like Nissan Qashqai, Dacia Duster or Opel Mokka.

Seriously, most of the "normal" cars you still see on the road are over ten years old. Former German sedan drivers have big SUVs by the same brands as they are the new status symbols. Former station wagon drivers have SUVs "for the space" (even though they don't offer any more). And former small hatchback drivers now drive those aforementioned ghastly small crossovers.

I don't think the average car on the road was ever more ugly and miserable than now.
