HEY ASSHOLE, GET THE FUCK OFF THE ROAD

Seriously, angry, people.

Everybody drives different. It's hard to even sit passenger seat with somebody and not cringe and flinch quite a few time before the end of the trip. A LOT of people driving that annoy other people aren't really braking the rules, and the ones that do might have actually made an honest mistake, and some of them just might have a legitimate enough reason to break a rule or two.
Yes, there is dickheads, but what's flipping out gonna do? I bite my tongue a lot (not ALL the time, though).

Anyways, as anybody who's lived in Vegas will say, CAB DRIVERS are the spawn of fucking Satan and need to be exorcised.

And please don't tailgate me. If you give me maybe more than a measly 10 seconds to actually notice you're behind me, I might just move over and let you pass. Otherwise, find your own way around.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Driving in a light sprinkle is actually just as dangerous sometimes as driving in a flooding downpour.

If it's been a while since it rained, especially, the sprinkling water is enough to slick up all the oils and other slick chemicals in the road, but not enough to wash them away. This makes for a very slippery drive if you try and treat it like it's nothing. I know from experience.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Also, Killy, engine braking is downshifting to slow down, and it doesn't save gas, it burns it. What Crash is describing is simply slowing down a bit and taking your foot off the gas to ensure that when the light turns green you're still rolling and you don't have to do a full start from stopped again.

Slowing down to conserve momentum saves gas when you're approaching a RED light about to turn GREEN, not the other way around, which is what Crash is describing. I'd be upset if somebody took five years to get to the damn red light, too.

Engine braking is leaving the vehicle in gear, or downshifting, in order to use the engine drag to slow the vehicle. This is definitely a SAFER prodedure when driving a big rig, but unnecessary in a passenger vehicle other than a bus, because the vehicle just doesn't weigh that much.

I don't engine brake. If you drive a manual, you should just throw in the clutch, and use the brakes to control your decline in speed, instead of downshifting each gear. If it's an automatic, the sooner you hit the brakes and starting slowing, the sooner it kicks outta gear. Some even kick out of gear fairly soon after just letting off the accelerator.
This saves you wear on the clutch AND the engine, and conserves gas. Brake pads are MUCH cheaper to replace than either the clutch or engine, or even for the price of gas nowadays.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Fuck it.

Killy, you're an idiot. Just drive a fucking automatic. Lord knows I wouldn't want you trying to engine brake into my asshole.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

The next time I'm straddling the gearshift in my truck, I'll just remind myself how much it resembles your mother's phallus.

I was speaking idiomatically.
