Rants and raves section.

Another forum I used to frequent had a rants and raves section where people were allowed to rant, rave, and argue some of their opinions that generally derail discussion elsewhere. I feel this may give some members a place to move the thread derailing stuff to keep us on topic more often. Just a suggestion and I'm curious of the opinion others have on this.
 
Good idea.  We also have a Random Thoughts thread, Random Pics thread, and an OffTopic subforum for non-EB related discussions.

So off topic is friendly to heated discussion?
 
I suppose, as long as it doesn't get abusive.  Abuse/foul language will NOT be tolerated, simply no need or place for it.  Heated discussions should provoke thought, information-sharing, positive things.  There can't be a true "100%" censorship-free, "free speech" discussion, but I am willing to get pretty close to that line.  Don't try to hide behind the fact this is on the internet and not face2face.  Take responsibility.
 
There are certain things I can go on a rant about like "HEMI people." I'm sure others would also like to discuss and vent.
 
LOL!

I actually don't have any experience at all with them.

But I'll say this - the new company pickup is now HEMI equipped. The outgoing lease was a 2012, with that gutless 4.7l V8.

Talk about a world of difference. This sucker is a tire roaster.
 
I hate anyone who texts while they drive. I literally want to run them off the road and watch them burn  >:D  Oh, and get the F**K out of the left lane if you're going slower then the traffic around you!

With that said; My wife owns a new 2015 Audi A3 2.0T quattro which I've been ordering performace parts for in my spare time (ie; APR Tune, Intake, Downpipe, Springs, Wheels, Boost Gauge, etc.) I'm now worried that her car will be faster than mine when all said and done.  :'(

My point.

Drives me nuts! I've given many middle finger notifications for this offense. It's always when I'm doing 5 over the limit too.
 
I guess for now it will just exist as a thread.

People who take 1/4 mile to change lanes or people who drive in 2 lanes. My parents both do this.

Also people who don't use turn signals. I have had people try to tell me that there is no reason to use turn signals and I want to strangle these people. If everyone used turn signals I would bet we eliminate at least a quarter of accidents.

That was some s***.

I have had some crazy stuff happen around me while driving truck. 3 Years ago I got hit by a Chrysler Crosse fire that was hit by another car and shot across the median at me.  I couldn't completely avoid the accident but I was able to slow down and minimize the damage .

Was that you in the video? Also minimize the dammage is kinda relative in those pictures.
 
Thankfully that is not me in the video. But its the same view as in my current truck and similar reaction as in my crash. the after first contact part. When you hit someone else in a semi on just one corner of the bumper you instantly turn in that direction. You have completely lost control of steering and your just along for the ride. All you have left is brakes
 
So yesterday at the intersection of an 8 lane and a 4 lane road the traffic light was broken and it was flashing red both ways. Out of the hundreds of cars going through I was the only one that knew that if a light is blinking red you have to treat it like a stop sign. When I stopped on the 8 lane everyone was hitting their horn and just blowing the intersection. Are people really this stupid? Why do we give these people lisences?
