PROBLEMS WITH AVANDIA

 

lol like 5 new dealer 'stories' come out every day. :scratch:

 

Yeah, but this one was actually kinda funny.

 

I heard the Vampire colonies were complaing that they COULD see themselves in the recalled mirrors... you know them Vamps won't settle for that!

 

What makes them say such things? Do they really think it is true? So weird...........what?! Do you have to take like a special class or something to be a salesperson, so you can learn the art of "blowing smoke up the public's #%%!! Amazing.

First rule of Italian driving, as I yank the mirror off of the windshield. aka Franco

"What's a behind me is not important"

 

Maybe, they get so many inquiries in regards to the new stang that they start to make stories up to satisfy questions

Oh yeah, can't have those vampires, driving erratically because of the rearview mirror

 

People don't use the rear view mirrow, ugh!
I was on I-95 yesterday, some people were driving the speed limit in the left lane.
I flash to pass with my headlights, this is described in the owners manuals I have.
But they never even look in their rear view mirror.
So I pass on the right.
Eventually they look over at me and swerve behind me without turn signals.

Please use rearview mirrors!

I guess your not familiar with "The Gum Ball Rally" with Franco & the mirror scene.

Yes, most US drivers have no clue as how to drive or where to be on the highway.

That's the nice thing about driving a Stang, you get in my way & I'll run you over.

Quick & easy.

 

I heard they weren't making any more 2005 Mustangs because all of FlatRock was s*cked into a giant energy vortex in the sky and appeard 50 years in the future.

They should send these people over to drive on a stretch of free-speed Autobahn. You look more in the rear view mirror than through the windscreen there if you're not also in the +150mph category.

Going a regular 85-100 like most others, you look VERY carefully what's behind you before you even think of swerving out to the left. Otherwise you'll end up with a Beemer or Porsche embedded from behind all the way up to the dashboard. I've seen what behavior like that does to a Focus, and it ain't pretty.

"These People" would have no clue as to the proper road manners on a high speed highway. The German's would think that the US is invading their homeland with suicide drivers clogging up their Autobahns.

We need a better system here in the states that starts with our teenagers taking a real driving course, I.E., Skid Schools, etc., to give them some basic car control skills. After that a quick course in road etiquette could go a long way.

I drive over 60K miles a year, 40K in my Stang alone & I just can't believe how poor our drivers are.

I also have a pipe dream that would license people to drive at speeds equal to their ability. License plates would be color coded to identify your ability. This would make it easy for you to judge the other cars driver VS having to look for the little old blue hair lady driving her Dodge Omni in the left lane at 45MPH.

You would have to go through a stringent test to achieve your "Wings". You would be issued a special license plate that lets you exceed the speed limit legally in certain areas.

I'll get off my soap box & leave you my . 02

 

In the UK, (yes, again!), you can only pass on the right (unless in heavy traffic when the speed is below 15mph), it is illegal to "undertake" on a Freeway, it makes it easier when you know that the traffic on he left of you is going the same speed (or slower) than you. On the downside, you get "middle lane hoggers" that you have to go round.
The system works, but I prefer the American way of doing it, the traffic flows easier.....

I flashed my lights to pass someone before and he slowed down going the same speed as a transport. I couldn't pass for 10 minutes then he flipped me the finger. What a putz! Get out of the way or stay off the highway old man

After you get by, then get infront of him and start slowing down until he switches to another lane, then gas it and go. He will get the message.

 

Too many quote boxes -- I'm lost already, lol...

 

I would never flash my lights when I am behind someone, sounds like a good way to get shot as I pass.
