Am I alone in not giving a flying fark about tailgaters?

back and neck injuries suck but in terms of brake checking people and road rage I think only wankers do things that could possibly cause an accident.

haha if they hit you, they're at fault no matter what, so I just don't give a flying fark about tailgaters. Just ignore them and/or let them go past if they get extremely aggressive

Yea iv never understood why people get the sh*ts at tail gaters. Whatever they do is up to them I'm not bothered. The misso tailgates people all the time and yet hates when it's done to her. Chances are if I'm tailgating a car especially in my truck it means you drive like a f*cking mong

I was being aggressively tailgated by some mazda driver in a heavily policed 50 zone the other morning, was doing the limit consistently.

I did no such thing

Wasn't being tailgated that gave me the sh*ts - if he'd stayed the closest he got to me the whole way then it wouldn't have even been noticed.

 

It was the 100m behind, up the arse, 100m behind etc and the slowing right down when we got to a place he could easily have overtaken that pissed me off.

Bit of an up and down day today.

 

Firstly mum was in tears of stress as Centrelink were mean't to call and we noticed the home phone battery had died so the base wouldn't ring.  She then spent the best part of an hour and a half on her mobile in the queue before she could get a request through for the guy to call her back.

 

So whilst waiting for a call back, I took her out and said if they ring the mobile, tell them we are heading out to get a replacement home phone.

 

We then dropped in to the RAC so I could confirm she is covered when driving my car - I told a little white lie on that one but still checked so she wouldn't know the real reason, lucky I did as she wasn't on there.

 

I then paid out the rest of her loan - it was only just under $600 - as she has been stressing for ages about Centrelink covering her rent and internet and nothing else, man the look on her face was worth it

 

Then we went down to Harvey Norman and I got her a replacement phone, that has the power outage "protection" feature - basically the handset uses it's own power to power the base, so no more worries for her then.

 

So I headed down to Monsta Torque to book the car in for a service and to let him know I needed stuff checked, as I have this reasonably high pitched whirring whenever I accelerate - really noticeable on low speed acceleration until I take my foot off the accelerator - plus it really idles roughly and sometimes shakes the whole car but there's no fault codes coming up and I've replaced the plugs, cleaned the throttle body plus had the fuel filter replaced in the last 6 months or so, plus he thinks maybe the turbo bearings are going, so all that was a downer.

 

Then I got home and noticed the computer was sitting at insert media....after a reboot and checking the BIOS the boot SSD couldn't be found....however after powering the PC off for 3 hours it's back, as all my documents, videos, favourites etc redirect to a 3TB HDD, I'm fine, except for my Google Chrome stuff, so I'm transferring anything I cannot find on the D: to both D: and also copying my D: documents, photos and everything else to an external USB drive in case it's the motherboard controllers dying.

It was good to catch up mate. Hope things start going well for you soon.

Well some good news, I got a compensation cheque from Western Power - I thought it was a bill at first - for $80, due to the over 12 hour outage we had 2 weekends ago, so that covers the SSD. Now I just have to find where I put the dual drive caddy.

 

Thanks for the heads up on the dual exhaust insert info too.

No worries, like I said, I been hunting for two years now. Not sure why everyone wants them.
