I used to blare my radio at stop lights until someone did that to me when I was in another car. Needless to say, I don't do it anymore. I always turn the radio down when at a stop unless someone is being a jack@$$.

Veilside + K&N under tunnels ftw.

i'm thinking about re-installing that Veilside w/ a straight pipe...

there's nothing wrong w/ dropping your top at stop lights. dare i say it was the design's intention . fellow motorists are just drinking hatorade.

I'll usually blip the throttle if someone is going obnoxiously slow in front of me on the street. Asshole-ish, I know, but when I'm trying to get home from work I can't tolerate the person going 15 in a 35 in front of me.

I am self conscious about this list, so no flaming please:

1. Drifting. I only do it around corners where I know the only person I am putting in danger is myself, and I rarely do it. But sometimes there is a group of cars waiting at a red light and I slide sideways across three lanes of traffic directly in front of them. I know that must irritate more than a few people waiting at the light.

2. On and Off Ramps at speed. 8/10ths. Much much fun especially when a carpet queen P-car "thought" they could keep up with the little Honda, annoying to those i am merging with because I am usually 10=20 mph faster coming off the ramp.

3. Driving excessively slow in my neighborhoods. I live in a pedestrian area with many bikes, skateboards and surfers. I never ever do over 25 within 10 blocks of my house.

4. Not street racing. Being revved on, revving back and then laughing as the hyundai or F-150 takes off by themselves!

5. Empty neighborhood Auto-Xs. There are a few developments without homes near me. It's a series of roads with nothing more than a few mailboxes and a lotta dirt. I check my suspension and tires there sometimes. It's noisy.

One of my faves as well. Even better when they get pulled over just down the street.

Every now and then when traffic is light I'll turn it sideways coming out of my apartment complex and then look at people who are walking on the sidewalk to see their reaction. I've gotten a couple Yeah!'s and quite a view jaw drops.
