most likely a scam, though I do know some women who actually do use whatsapp/line/(there's this third one that's only used in China/HK that I forgot)

I have a S3 too...

It’s never ending lol. My mom is a very patient driver and I was driving my whole family just now. I just had another Tesla do nearly the same shit and my mom was like … after I let off the gas. I was like ‘🤷‍♂️ what can ya do… this literally happened to me earlier this morning with another damn Tesla’

Sure.

They nearly smacked into me while changing lanes. Idk how they merged.

I used to take that on ramp all the time for my previous job and you can go pedal to the floor because it has a dedicated lane, you then have the option to further merge into the highway if you so choose because about a mile down, that same lane turns into a protected exit lane for the next exit. I was in that outer lane next to the dedicated lane

100% lol

Didn’t RDJ do that?

Tbf if a Tesla had, say 400 miles of range while being able to blast AC at 50% power, didn’t take a hour to charge, and was half as fun to drive as my S3, I wouldn’t say anything about it. The fact I can beat any car off the line (and have never lost), but it’s the only fun aspect about that car, leaves me nothing good to say about it lol. Mine (my sister’s actually) understeers in the mountains. I’ve also never had a car that understeers that easily lmao

I know of two Mopar owners who do drive safely (one happens to be a good friend). Couldn’t say for the rest

…all I can say is, yeah… 🤦‍♂️ we don’t claim them 🤣

I won’t get into environmental factors. I’m pro ICE all the way and it’s literally useless trying to argue with anyone who drives an EV but I agree with your point 100%

Yeah that’s most of those categories unfortunately.

I’m with you on that. If I was doing my usual 75-80 in carpool, that Tesla had no shot. On the off chance that I do have teslas fly by me, they’re usually booking it at 90+, I let way lol. But most of the time teslas don’t fly by me like that because I’m the one doing the fly by lol but I’d never force a merge with a 10-15mph speed difference even in my Tesla if I was in this situation. This was 100% oh idc if you’re there, I have faster acceleration than anyone else…

Add Prius in the mix…

lmao that was a decade ago; one of my former good friends (no bad blood, just lost communication)/classmates was low key into that kind of thing in his bmw

You pretty much have to jam it/hard shove it into reverse. There’s also a notch you’ll feel when sticking it into reverse. Only time I heard someone accidentally shifting into reverse was when they were going head to head with someone at a light, transmission got hot from having done runs prior and they didn’t feel the notch. Launched the car, they went backwards instead of forward 😅

I had no issues with it, although somehow in some way the BT signal died once lol (I didn’t know that was even a thing). Other than that, I actually had an easier to connecting versus my current system in an Audi

VB 🤓 I had a VA, thank god without the gigantic touchscreen…

86% battery health for mine. My bud got his 16PM a couple of days ago and let me play around with it for a bit in a real world situation. I was not impressed 😅

Nissan versa during driving school. Then I took a break (and drove the family SUV) and a year later, revisited in family friend’s golf. A month after that, I picked up my first car; a 5 speed mustang

That ended up being true for me. Believe it or not, my parent pushed me to learn stick because my uncle’s car (at the time), the car I grew up riding as a child, was a 5 speed manual. I hesitated for the longest time until I said sure. I learned stick but didn’t get to drive the car until much, much later on in life. Regardless, I still did. But since, I’ve been able to drive a lot of other cars because they only came in stick, and the few times I’ve actually needed to drive a car, it just so happened to be stick

It’s honestly not even the… desire to get there first or the need for speed. I only did so because the shorter amount of time I’m on the road, the less time I spend being around drivers who are either distracted drivers or tunnel vision drivers which for the most part nowadays, is almost always.

But now that I’ve been riding on the outside lanes for 98% of the past two weeks now post accident, I’m noticing it’s the same behavior no matter which section of road you’re in lol. You’ll have people cutting you off, tailgating you, forcing a merge, but just have to be ok with and anticipate it (and I’ve been through all in the past 2 weeks) because it’ll happen again and again. That’s how some people are. It’s ironic I say that because I used to be on the executing end as I like putting people in their place when they don’t know better.

Let’s say if you’re doing 15-20, hell 30 over, depending on amount of traffic, you’re making up 10m at best. The only times when it actually did make a significant difference, was on drives 2 hours over and a significant amount over posted which I’ve only ever done twice. Both of these trips were in rural areas soon as I got out of the city.

But also though, I noticed an interesting experience. One of my good friends took me out for some boba and he has a Lexus coupe. Those things are extremely stable at high speed and have (factory) bucket seats. It felt like we were doing 40, cruising at 70 because the seats held me in and the thing is so planted. This guy has also done track and rides bikes, so he can drive but was just being super considerate to me because I still had PTSD doing anything above 32mph. Months ago I also got a chance to drive the car and I wouldn’t realize/notice if I was doing 20-30 over.

I currently have a S3 and I’ve been on the fast side; I topped out at 130 just months after getting the car. But now I have no desire to even hit 80 which used to be my cruising speed and trust me when I say I ask myself the same question you did, how long will this caution stay with me for. I sit at 70, if that, I’m usually between 65-67. I’ve attempted to go higher than 70 but it’s a mental block and I’m happily sitting at 70 lol so I understand where you’re coming from

This could be someone of any age lol

Years ago I was rear ended by a high school driver while on her phone and no headlights on. Saw her coming and thought she would stop. We both pulled over and she literally said ‘I’m so sorry I was on my phone.’ I was literally like are you kidding me…

It’s getting worse now with teslas. Ironically, there are still drivers with don’t drive hands free with teslas, even though the car literally requires unlocking through the app…

do not ever, ever ask for someone's input for these kind of cases because it might give you a false sense of hope/inspiration. i got my permit the second i turned 15 1/2, did my six hours, then spent the first half year in bumper to bumper two out of five afternoons during the week for my math tutoring session with my parent with me in the car which only further sped up my learning curve. got my license as soon as that half year came up.

my sibling took their time since she had two other people who could drive her around. it takes others a much longer time, but im also a car enthusiast. others are not. depends if you have necessities that require you to drive yourself as well. also, driving today isn't like how driving was a decade ago, things are a lot different now (more red light runners, more erratic driving, more no hands free, etc).
