Driving Test | Driving tips ofr First time drivers
Re: Driving Test | Driving tips ofr First time drivers
Wait, wait, wait. I've been driving poorly!!! I should have been yelling at pedestrians as I drive past ("communicate with pedestrians") and the biggest issue:
Smooth acceleration stalls the engine!! No wonder we all have problems driving. We shouldn't be trying to smooth out our shifts and acceleration, we need to keep it rough and bouncy (that's what she said?).
I, for one, need to apologize to all of you for failing as a driver. I'm sorry.

You know what I've always been told about shifting a manny tranny? "If you can't slide it, slam it."Squint wrote:(that's what she said?).

I'd be very careful with the words, "manny tranny," appearing in anything you write. Ever.tankinbeans wrote:You know what I've always been told about shifting a manny tranny? "If you can't slide it, slam it."Squint wrote:(that's what she said?).

I assumed that was the case.
Otherwise, I was going to make sure that you had a decent grasp of the English language...
Pro-tip: I heard (no source to back this up) that a man's fingers are different from a woman's. The ring finger on a man is typically longer than the pointer finger. On a woman, the pointer finger is longer than the ring finger. No idea how accurate this is, but everyone I've asked and talked to about this has found it to be true. What say you peeps?

Regarding fingers...I don't really pay attention to them. As long as I don't receive a digital salute I'm okay.
Re: Driving Test | Driving tips ofr First time drivers
It's cool, I'm a language geek too, so I can't disagree. I just point them out as I see them rather than trying to create them. Occasionally, genius strikes me and I'll have a good one, but not super often.

It's the chemical air in WV. Seriously, makes foreign color liquids condense on the walls. S*** scares me.
Beyond that, I got nothing for you. Call me strange. And TIBs the same.

That's probably meth lab pollution.
It is quite humorous to see this thread from the beginning with the original spam gone.

For me, it's the insanity caused by drivers who like to drive in a rolling V formation (under the limit, across all lanes). All idiots, no respite, make TIBs something something.Squint wrote:It's the chemical air in WV. Seriously, makes foreign color liquids condense on the walls. S*** scares me.

Cow - I really like my teeth. No meth for me.
