>tfw you destroy some boomer's pride and joy in your turbo import
>>16373847
I think one of my favorite little stoplight races was a few years ago when some riced out Civic pulled up next to a boomer in a Crossfire SRT6 and the boomer just smoked the Civic so fucking bad.
That feel when some pizza-delivery import driver throws a rev that sounds like a fart in a tin can, but I don't rev back because I'm not a pencil-dicked faggot.

Best feeling is probably when I'm driving one with no trailer. They are daycabs so they don't have all the extra weight from the sleepers. I will be merging onto the highway and of course nobody wants to be behind the truck so they try and pass me but then I slide into 10th gear and pull from 45mph to 70mph in like a second flat and cut them off.

If you didn't live in a Capitlist shithole, no one would have to work on the holidays
>>16375310
Does your country have no police or emergency response on holidays?
You sure you're not in the real shithole?
>tfw blowing the doors off a 900hp Corvette in my EG hatch with a few simple mods
>>16375005
Yeah they're wonder what's making that faggy sound or if they realized it's a car they're wondering how much of a loser someone is blow up their ebay turbo in front of a highschool
>>16375328
Not to say there aren't exceptions, but I hear commercials on the radio, like one for Walgreens right now that boasts that they're open on Christmas, when really they should be shamed for putting their workers between a rock and a hard place.
>>16375310
If you didn't live in a communist shithole you would actually have holidays.
>>16375349
You are now aware most places will pay double or triple overtime for big holidays like Christmas
>>16375349
They get double pay bare minimum. Don't be sorry for them when they probably aren't sorry for themselves. I've signed up to work Holidays for that sweet $34/hour
>>16375359
No, no, no, no, no.

>>16376266
How could someone driving an M3 not know anything about a 335i
>>16375391
Not in Murrica but here it's by law that you get paid to work 1.5x on holidays. When I was a grocery store working faggot a lot of the people working holidays volunteer because their families would do Christmas dinner on another day so they'd get to see their families then make a half decent cheque that month for holiday work.
>>16377092

He learned the hard way. The GT Liberty looks like a normal Liberty from the back and the bonnet scoop is pretty subtle. Probably thought it was NA

This >>16374047
They are both often poorly tuned by fags who think they are fast and struggle to idle properly.
>>16375019
No. The SRT is basically an AMG. But the Civic driver thought he had a chance, and that was the funny part.
>>16377696
I did smoke a lot of Civics with fartcans when I had my Explorer. I just don't understand how people think those cars are fast.
>>16375391
I got 16 hours of PTO plus time and a half for working the day before and the day after the holidays.

Today when I was driving home I hit an animal.
I was doing maybe 25 mph because speed cam, about to make a turn when out of nowhere something jump in front of my car. I kind of panicked and countered, so it just nicked my bumper. I have no idea what it was, a cat, a dog or a racoon, who the fuck knows. It probably ran off afterwards because I stopped to see what the hell happened, and it was nowhere to be seen. The road was fucking dark as shit, no lights whatsoever. I just hope that little fuck is ok, I've felf guilty since I came home an hour ago ;_; Also broke my fucking bumper, but luckily there was no blood so i guess its alright.
>ride shitbox in rainy weather

>>16377935
I think you will find that civics come in many trim levels. "Honda with vtec" could mean anything from a 70hp single cam non-vtec LHD shitbox to a 217hp type r that weighs just over a tonne and has a better power to weight ratio than a v8 vf commodore
>>16374258
This happened to me today. I took a 20 minute detour to get away from somebody I pissed off unintentionally.
Sometimes the only saving grace is that you won't see these people again and you get to start anew each time.

I worked captioning phone calls for the deaf for a while. I pulled double pay AND I helped people communicate with their families on Christmas day. Yup, having the holiday off would have been better.

I feel you. I did the same thing after a bad breakup a few years ago, and back then the only thing I could afford to maintain was a 110cc semi-auto scooter.
I even road-tripped that thing. Made me appreciate the world and myself a little more each time.
>>16383121
Dem feels anon, you're right. It helps you get your focus off what happened and remain in the moment.
Tfw you drive a diesel, and a p plater in a commodore beside revs you and you best it.

Stalled out THREE times trying to do a simple hill start in a multistorey, then completely failed to help a woman at a petrol station with opening her bonnet.
I'm genuinely ashamed.

>tfw too stupid to learn anything about fixing/modifying cars
to compensate i've gotten into detailing but I still feel empty inside. I couldn't do anything even if I knew anything (automatic honda fit)
