I got to drive in Houston for a week a year or two back. Morning and night, both in the middle of rush hour. Compared to here in the State of ILL (yeah the old three letter abbreviation fits better...), I LOVED IT! Texans know how to drive!

Maybe the guy filming did something to irritate the guy into a rage?

No matter what the recording driver did, the other driver's response was completely unacceptable. He shouldn't have a license.

 

Wow. If I get cut off or almost hit, yea - if i have the chance I'll the give em a quick brake check but swerving all over the road like a nut case, potentially getting other cars involved??? That guy deserved to be pitted into the wall and punched in the face.

Brake checking anyone is a douchebag move. Don't be a douchebag. If the guy was really driving that bad, report him or flip him off, and then let it go. No need to try and cause an accident because someone else offended you.

not only is it a douchebag move, its extremely dangerous.. if the driver even looked into mirrors for 1 second he could of slammed in the back and someone could have been killed... or you could be driving a GMT800 like me and not have as good of brakes as that guy did in the little sports car and not stop in time

CA is full of horrid drivers and people in general. There was a reason I didn't volunteer to take the west coast position at work. Stuff like that makes me want a dash cam. That way if someone pulls that shit in front of me, I'll just run them over. :lol:

Because of forum rules I cant post the pic I want to. Most the time I am not a horrid driver. Also, I am not a horrid person... Sometimes.

Wasn't directed at you obviously. :lol:

 

I hate California for political reasons/differences in values.

I felt the same in the Fort Worth area. The traffic is horrid compared to where I live but in general the drivers are extremely polite to let you merge, change lanes, etc. Around here, we have 1/1000th the traffic but people will move just to keep you from merging or changing lanes. Years ago it was not that way. If it was not for the heat, I'd move to Texas.

Same around here. I let someone in and I get honked and flipped off. Id fall over dead if I got a wave of thanks for letting them in, backing off, etc to accommodate the other driver around here.

 

Hmm, maybe all these peeps walking down the middle of the street like they own it are on to something!

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jus Cruisin · Posted

      I will be one of those "blinded". One, I like new shiny things. Two, I've never kept any of them beyond the 3/36. Three, I don't finance anything. Four, yep, it's a waste of money....so,what? I'm doing my part of keeping automotive industry going and keeping my neighbors, most of whom are in it, employed. 😉      By the way this is the "signature... ¬

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By marpel · Posted

      Although there is a "recommended" weight by those who sell trailers, my experience has been that they are way too aggressive in their information, for me at least. My '22 with 6.6 Gas, has a payload of about 3400 lbs and depending on your specs (I don't have 4WD so it has a bit higher Payload than others) yours will likely be different. Payload is one of the most important numbers for towing. Although you "could" tow the max trailer weight for your truck, I, personally, would not go close to that number. Having said that, a lot depends on how/where you will be towing. I live in the LMD of BC and often tow to Denver, Co, along interstates (flat and mountains) and I find I need to keep it in 5th (6spd) for the trip and travel at around 65mph. This is for a trailer dry weight of just under 3500lbs. If you are only doing local, short trips, it would not be that big an issue if you had a heavier unit. You will be surprised how much stuff you load the trailer with, so I would only recognize the trailers "full" GVWR weight rating, then decide on the appropriate trailer from that number. If you are worrying about how much stuff you should be putting in a trailer, you might have too large a rig from the get-go. Once again, depending on what terrain/distance in which you will be pulling. Marv

      Disconnecting Battery

      By marpel · Posted

      davester, Thanks for the response, how ever, I think I am now a bit more confused than I was before I posted - - After I posted, I actually found a YT video of a guy who replaced his Module (above tire) and he only disconnected the ground cable of the battery, but you describe rubbing the two cables together after disconnecting. I presume that is to do as you describe and eliminate any residual energy? - When I picked up the Module (between my posting and reading your response) from the dealer, I specifically asked about any re-programming and he stated it was not necessary as it was simply plug and play. Don't know how knowledgeable he is, though. - The video I watched also showed the Module plug to be difficult to "unlock" and remove, but there was no mention of silicone, although the video did show a bunch of dust/dirt in and around the plug (old truck) during removal. Are you talking about silicone that was applied by the factory, or silicone that you applied prior to plugging in? Thanks again, Marv
