Life is too short to wait for people doing 10 under. I probably pass on a double yellow twice a week.

Really, you tailgaters can fuck off and do throw yourselves off the hillside, or I'm just going to stab the brakes and get a new rear end on your insurance.

Just ignore them and keep driving the same as you were, you autist

Seriously, eventually they'll fuck off or go around. Having a stare down in your rear view mirror isn't going to do shit.

so you illegally turn on an LED lightbar because a car has factory HIDs and you dont?

Do you have some kind of reading disability or are you just really bad at baiting?

what on the back?

>>15369474
Factory hids don't glare the shit out of you. It's just a bit distracting seeing that colour spectrum from an angle.

Watch out, we got a bad ass over here!

not nearly as bad as people braking on a hill.
>>
>>15369474
My car has factory HIDs.
My Light bar makes night look like day.

Honestly the only reason I haven't mounted one in the back of my car is I know that asshole tailgating me would be a cop someday.

Not American.

What happens if you go downhill in an auto?

Doesn't the computer know you aren't applying any throttle and not change up gears so you get engine braking? Or does it just keep changing up as you speed up.

Or is it the fluid interface and no mechanical link meaning torque isn't transferred from the roadwheels to the engine to get engine braking or something?
>>
>>15370521
Autos shift to the highest usable gear when you`re off the throttle or on it very lightly for fuel economy reasons according to your current speed.
>>
>>15370521
>What happens if you go downhill in an auto?
You retain and gain speed easily

>>
>>15370521
You are literally just gliding with not much torque
>>
>>15369640
>thinks cops still drive cvpi's
>>
>>15370521
They have essentially no engine braking because the torque converter goes slack and the gearbox stays in its highest gear
It's why you can manually select gears on 99.9% of autos
>>
>>15368762
>because there's always a cop waiting at the bottom

Just because you can afford a ticket doesn't mean I can, Takumi.
