Got a warning for doing a burnout with a 300D W123 Benz.
The police officer just laughed and told me that I've probably made a world record or something, actually managed to get a ticket for doing a burnout in a 80hp diesel shitbox.
He thought it was so hilarious that didn't even feel like ticketing me, just told me to not try that shit again and let me off with a warning.

Unless it's one of those new cars with a retarded electrical parking brake, there is literally nothing but a steel wire and a few levers in the entire system. ABS doesn't affect it at all.

I'm waiting for the day I get a ticket for excessive acceleration or something because I actually pay attention to stop lights and get a second or two head start on everyone else in the line. Wonder what the judge's face would be like when I tell them "I drive a jeep cherokee. Your sedan is probably twice as fast."

My friends and I were bored enough to take a corolla through this offroading trail. Made it about 3 miles back and got stuck. Had to get some redneck passerby to pull us out

>>14984965
nah you can just press a button to turn it off from the factory

>>14985481
It does tho because when i turned off ABS i could easily do skids

>>14983587
abs doesn't affect the parking brake or your bus pass.

Two days ago some stupid fucking cunt in a Volvo estate ambulance sat in the right hand lane of a dual carriageway (UK so thats the fast lane) doing 50mph holding up probably 5 million miles of traffic because he is a massive cunt and no one would overtake/undertake him because they thought he was a police car.

I bought a 97 f250 powerstroke with 214k that had been sitting in someone's yard for three years. This past December.
Leaks, bad smells, and rust.
Leaks, bad smells, and rust everywhere.
Also, the electronics are fucky. When the lights are on, the left turn signal and hazards don't blink and the transmission loses one of its shift points (35mph).
I'm not too bright, I guess.

I feel of diesel exhaust every time I drive the truck, but damn is it satisfying.
Broke down the first two times I drove it, though. That wasn't fun.

Haven't been driving long, it's mostly little shit, no accidents yet (thankfully). I like to think that I'm driving better than 80% of other college kids but I don't know anymore.

Lots of little things while I'm driving just because I'm retarded. I'll drive in the middle of the road, regardless of solid lines, to avoid potholes and dips. Sped through an intersection and actually went airborne for first time a month ago, head hurt for a bit after that. Haven't been pulled over yet, despite gunning yellow lights in front of cops. I picked up a dashcam recently so hopefully I'll capture some of the dumb shit I see on my daily drive every morning.
>tfw a cambered pick-up truck with underglow races a civic
I did almost rear end this car I tried taking a picture of, haven't seen it around before.

Buying a car with an electronic e-brake is where he fucked up. Seriously what the fuck.

let's see..

>>14989763
231
>>
>>14989763

2-3-1

4 comes out of fucking nowhere and rams into 1.
>>
>>14989763
what is the sign that isn't yield?
>>
>>14989801

give way?


the sign for 2 is t-junction
>>
>>14989801
yup, thats yield
>>14989790
>>14989799
only retards doesn't know the orders and should only be allowed to play with plastic toy cars
>>
>>14989817
wtf is t-junct?
>>
>>14989823

But 231 is right..
>>
>>14988070
>>14989755
Not necessarily, it might have been part of the stability system might be part of the ABS, and if it detects the car is skidding, it does shit to make it not skid.
>>
>>14989837
I'm confirming you guys answers :3
>>
>>14989823

But 231 is right..

>>14989825

pls be joking
>>
>>14989843

o ok then
>>
>>14989848
there is an exact replica of pic related that i drive daily, but the only sign is a stop where the yield is
i've never seen that right side up triangle before that is white

>>14989858
I was the 2 and a 1 ran out in front of me

>car just carved corner and wobbled weird

atleast no one saw it
>>
>>14989823
2 goes straight through since no stop sign
3 waits for cross traffic before turning left
1 has a yield and waits for no traffic from both directions before pulling out

You stupid nigger.
