Embarrassing car stories?
>driving MX-5
>about to pull up to two lane traffic lights
>Volvo estate in left lane
>I move over to right lane
>plan to quickly overtake him after we move off
>Go through 1st, 2nd, 3rd
>he's keeping up with me
>we're already at 60
>miss 4th because I'm wtfing
>he overtakes me
>I can't keep up
>drive home slowly and sadly
Clearly he was also in a hurry to be somewhere, what's your point? I drive a Ranger at the moment, I can still out-accelerate pretty much every "normal" car just because I do more than tickle the gas pedal with a feather. If somebody else is accelerating quickly, I have no problem with them since they're not going to be in my way.
>parallel park
>think you've done a super tight, super neat job
>step out and realize you're still a foot from the curb and at an angle
Every time. I'm not that great at hitting the center of regular parking spots either, or stopping straight for that matter.

2bh I would rather be miles from the curb rather than scratching my alloys

It wasn't actually the brake. I rested my foot on the accelerator.

If it makes you feel any better, most cars won't let you get near redline in park.
>its always an mx5 owner
I posted this a few days ago in a similar thread, so why not hate myself some more

Its a rotary thing. You wouldn't understand
I fell for the Civic meme
A boring shitbox with no real redeemable features. I should've bought a new car like I had planned to.
