I also find cigarette butts in my airbox from time to time. I hate fishing someone's dirty cigarette butts out of my airbox! I also hate it when people ash their cigarettes out their sunroof.
I found cig. butts before in my airbox too!!

Seriously, if you're driving with the top down and one of those things goes flying into the vinal and gets stuck there, you could potentially have a vehicle fire. Not to mention that you could get hit in the face with one as well. I've gotten rocks on my forehead once or twice.

Yea, considering im 19 and still have a damn probationary.

Figured when i transfer license from another state at 18, it wouldn't be probationary, only reason why i went over on points, every ticket was double.
You should stop taking driving lessons from Clawhammer.

I just hate ****y drivers in general. I could never list everything that ticks me off about how other people drive, because I keep finding new things to get mad at.

I hate riding in the car with my best freind when he's talking on his cell phone, eating a sandwitch, steering the car with this knee, and riding on someone's rear bumper . . . all at the same time.

But on the other side of the equasion, he feels deathly affraid in the passenger seat when we're driving on mountain roads. I drive quite a bit harder than most pedestrians.

You bring up a good point. There are only a few people whom I can comfortably ride with while they are driving in a "spirited manner", or even driving in an urban environment. Pat is definitely one of them, thanks to riding in his CR at the last Auto-X of the season. However, many other people I simply don't feel that I can trust, but luckily I don't have to ride with others much anymore.

On the other hand, I know many of my friends are pretty comfortable with my driving, while others just sit in the passenger seat like this: .

I know a lot of people that flat out refuse to ride as a passenger with me anymore.
