Indeed it is a generalization that obviously isn’t true for everyone. However, if I need to decide if I feel comfortable riding side by side next to someone I don’t know on a city street or if I want to make sure I stagger I’m going to look at your sideswiped car and say maybe you did it maybe you didn’t. I’m not…

I’m amazed at all the butt hurt driving experts here on Jalopnik.

An inability to maintain a consistent speed on the highway. Forget riding left. I hate passing someone then having them pass me back then me having to pass them and as I’m passing them they end up matching my speed.

Sure. What other way would you have me estimate the driving ability of a car/driver I’ve never seen or met before? It’s not a “catch all” that all people with beaters are bad drivers and all people with nice cars are good drivers. I mean new cars are new even to bad drivers who haven’t had a chance to damage them yet.

Not everyone with a banged up car is a bad driver just like not everyone with a clean car is a good driver. However, if you ask me to make a first impression judgment on someone I’ve never met or seen before based on their car I’m going to give space to cars that are a bit beat up.

I got a new car 5 years ago. I’ll park at a neighboring business (assuming it isn’t a tow risk) if I can’t park far enough away from cars I deem unsafe. Yet somehow my passenger side has a pretty significant ding in it. I have absolutely no idea how it got there and that’s more irritating than the fact that it is…

Mustang? I suppose that’s a make not a brand.

Honestly I prefer to run with my lights on all the time period. You never know when the added visibility of your car will help.

Look at their car. Are there blemishes? Not necessarily a sign that someone is a bad driver, but I always give them more space. Either they dinged it while parking, someone else dinged it because they carelessly parked next to someone who doesn’t care about their car, or they’ve been in a fender bender, or and the…

Doug’s name that car has nothing on this.

How many civilians will be injured because of this article?

Since he was drugged up he was overheard saying Chevr-olet with it if it weren’t for those meddling kids

3 weeks ago I’d have argued with you that a full season from Chris Sale with run support would lead to a Cy young for the 2nd best left hander in baseball. However, in 3 starts the Red Sox have scored 3 runs and Sale sits at 1-1 instead of what should be 3-0 from 3 solid outings of his own.

Paxton was always of those…

I too have fallen prey to that exact failure on an Eclipse. One of my friends had one. Only hers was lowered. Needless to say said failure did some damage to the fender. The tow truck did some damage dragging it on to the flatbed as well. Our incident also happened in a parking lot. However, in my early 20s we were…

Yeah I was well aware of the fact that Honda is paying McLaren a ton of money. What’s sad is Sauber doesn’t even want money to let Honda use them as a test mule. When F1's most cash strapped team doesn’t want your engine in exchange for money you know its bad.

I don’t have posting privledges in Oppo but an early season silly season discussion is in order. I think Grosjean will be at Renault in 2018. A Frenchman on the Renault factory team with Hulkenberg has to be something Renault pursues. The real question will be if Mercedes wants a German bad enough and if Vettel is…

FWIW I think she belongs in racing. With that said her consistency is that of a 15th-25th place finisher. At the top level of NASCAR that’s not the results of someone who should be shown the door.

With that said Patrick actually contends at a plate race. If an F1 world champ wants to hop in at Daytona I would imagine…

Is the question if he would fit in or if he would help Philly? Honestly I think Obi-Wan Kenobi is their only hope.

The mustang drivers?

I live in Michigan. 3 winters (maybe 4) ago we got 160" of snow. Driving a car on snow is all about intentional inputs. At 15 (learners permit where I was taught and learned things imagine that) my dad taught me again and again how to act in reaction to unexpected things. I honestly believe that mentality kept me from…
