ITT: Things only you think you do while driving I never put

I wait until the gas light comes on before I head to the gas station.

Sometimes when I'm out driving and I don't see any cars on the road I'm worried I missed a memo about some no driving hour/day. It's never been a thing but I'm always s tiny bit relieved to see another car.

When I am slowing down to a yellow light (instead of running it), I worry that the yellow light will stay yellow for an abnormal amount of time. And I will just be sitting at that yellow light like an ass.

I randomly play a game to occupy my time while driving that basically consists of me opening and closing my jaw in correlation with the dotted/solid line in the middle of the road. I guess I've always been a percussion enthusiast and it's like I'm keeping a rhythm with my speed. (I do not play this with others in the car)

>>13827274
that is very irresponsible

>>13827598
Eh with the gas light you usually have about a gallon left before the tank is fully empty.

>sometimes I get focused in thought and driving and I will suddenly "wake up" and I can't remember the last mile or two
I love that feeling, especially when I'm doing something I don't like so I simply ''turn off'' myself into emptiness of thoughts while efficiently doing my job.

>>13827262
Whenever I make some observation or comment in my head (or even out loud sometimes) about some other car driver, I refer to them by the make of their car, except with "bro" thrown in there somewhere. Toybrota, Subroru, BroMW, Mercbrodes, Peugbro, Brozuki...

This wasn't something I ever did consciously, I just kinda noticed myself doing it one day.

>>13827700
No, it can't.

>>13827262
I put my seatbelt on even when I'm just maneuvering my car from the front yard to the garage or vice-versa.

When you're in Detroit if you break the law, no matter who you are the police will stop you. And they will call in for backup.

On the opposite end, I always use my signals and shoulder check even if I know nobody is there and I'm the only one on the road.

>>13828221

Then I scream "JUSTICE FOR MIKEY" and the hoards answer my call. Within 10 seconds every street is line with 100 unemployed young negroes, ready to do battle. I scream "FALSE ARREST" to signal the charge, and finally "I DINDU NUFFIN" to engage the full assault.

Within minutes I am free, hoisted upon the shoulders of my negro rescuers. Justice, we scream. Justice, we shall have.
That's how Detroit works, right?

It can ruin your fuel pump.

Also, you're eating probably the oldest gas in your tank, which your engine doesn't like.

Whenever I enter a parking lot, I pop into neutral and rev my engine twice to announce my arrival.

I take off all my clothes and drive completely naked on late night highway trips, It gives me an adrenaline rush knowing that if I cop pulls me over he's going to see me naked with my cock out.

Opposite for me. I use them every time I lane change or turn even if I know I'm alone like in an empty parking lot or something.

>>13827274
>I wait until the gas light comes on before I head to the gas station.

Exact opposite again. I usually fill up when I hit 1/2 tank. I'll take a really long drive and run it down to empty every 3rd tank or so to make sure I don't keep old gas in there too long,

There's one stretch of almost abandoned road east of me that's got a nice bit of twistiness. At night, I wait for a while at a stop sign just before it starts, I flip into "M" mode, turn off the traction control, put my sunglasses on and flick on both the brights and the fog...and punch it.

Like the performance division, NISBRO!

lightly tapping the throttle gently over and over. car makes a song since the exhaust is loud.

one time at a street light I had a staring contest with a guy in a vw convertible. He was staring hard at me in his side mirror. Guy in camaro to his left notices and starts creeping forward. VW guy started accelerating and slammed on the brakes once he realized it was still red. He didn't look back after that kek

Also when I make eye contact with people I'll mouth 'what the fuck are you looking at cunt'

>>13828825
that's a good idea why hasnt my city fucking do this

>>13827290
i do the same thing only i tap my toes inside my shoes

>>13829103

because your city is smart and knows about something called "liability"

they don't want to get sued by some drunk bix nood who blows through an intersection and ends up crippled by another vehicle because "muh lights wuznt on"

>>13827992
Same, its a reflex at this point

I have dubbed my Jeep peeJ and say things like "get in peej" or "just toss it in the back of peej" I also just barely put my foot on the brakes when I'm coasting to slow down just so people know. I also leave plenty of room to my right when making left turns so anons can make their rights at unregulated intersections

>>13829172
See I'm similar, I have to fight NOT to put it on because I'm just adjusting the car or turning it around or something.

>>13829198
You I like. I try to do the same things at intersections.

>>13827284
where I live the phasing goes three seconds for each lamp

so the moment the light turns orange it will be three seconds before it turns red and another three seconds before oncoming traffic gets a green

because of this I only go though a yellow light if I was already at the intersection when it changed

>>13829144

If I ever get tailgated by impatient drivers, I flicker my brake lights when they're at their closest so they're spooked. It usually gives them a scare and they fuck right off.

Is this a dick move?

This is Basically what they do, except one direction will be flashing red where you need to stop, while the other is flashing yellow for yield.

It's not every light in the city either. Major intersections and lights just off the highways stay fully operational, but the majority of traffic lights in the city convert to stop/yield signs.

It's somehow a dickmove and possibly dangerous for yourself. I recommend, instead of actual breaking, activate your rear fog-light for a second. They will react to the red light thinking it is your breaking light and slow down but it doesn't put you in danger or costing you speed.

>>13832631
That's an interesting auto correct.

Unless there's really heavy rain, I manually turn my wipers on and off at just the right frequency, having them on the lowest setting is annoying and still sometimes too frequent.

>>13832683
I'm kinda the same. I have to always have my wipers going at the correct speed for the amount of rainfall.

It drives me nuts when someone else is driving and it's raining and their wipers are going to fast/slow for the amount of rain.

It's really annoying since my shitbox doesn't have intermittent wipers.

>>13832683
Same here. Learned it from my dad, so there's at least three of us in the world.

I never let my car get below half a tank of gas if I can help it. Also i put 94 octane in my car when the manual says 91 octane is recommended.

If I need to move the car from one side of the driveway to the other, or just adjust it slightly, I'll push it instead of turning it on.

>>13832620
That's exactly what a hipster would do, you faggot

>>13832765
Dude same. Or if it just needs moved a few feet I just push it. No point in starting it. Starting is what puts the most wear on the engine.

>>13832716
>>13832712
>>13832683

I'm the same based on necessity. I used to kinda leave my wipers on when I had my civic. however; on my truck leaving them on when the windhsield isn't wet makes it make some horrific noises.

Sometimes if a yellow light's stale but I feel like I can make I'll do a quick scan for cops and just run through it. Usually turns red the moment I pass the crosswalk

>>13832620
That's like the most hipster thing i've ever heard faggot

Will tiptronic driving fuck my tranny up if I do it responsibly and use it to engine brake? I'm trying to practice for when I get a manual.

>tfw my rain-sensing wipers automatically adjust for the amount of rain out.

>>13832929

Nope, not unless you somehow manage to get the engine to slam itself into a way too low gear, something that modern gearboxes have features to prevent

Engine braking is basically a large part of the reason why you get the option to control/restrict your gears in an automatic

>>13832940

Not only that, but my C500 had them and they didn't work at all like I want my wipers to work. Always either too fast or too slow.

>>13832815
No it isn't. Hipsters like to say they fight trends, but they're the ones creating and following them. I may be edgy and a douche, but I'm no hipster.

>>13827274
I do this but dgaf because my fuel pump is only $100 and it's right under the backseat. super easy to replace.
