Burners on full.

What I really hate are the people who have a misfunctioning vehicle.  How many
times have you nearly hit the twit in front of you because his brake lights
don't work.  And the holes that have one headlight.  And what about the jerks
with jacked up rear ends.  Do they realize that their headlights don't quite
illuminate the road 10m. in front of them?  And the cars with exaust systems
dragging on the road, bent wheels, bald tyres, no turn signals, windscreens with
head cracks in them, and collapsed front suspensions from doing 'bunny hops'?

And what of these 'professional mechanic' maintained cars.  You pay someone $40
per hour to time your car, you get it back and the 0-60 time is still in 10s of
seconds. PING PING. 

Four wheel drive trucks that you need a step ladder to get into going 70+ when
they would normally roll in a emergency situation. 

Camaros.

Good 'ol boys who throw their 'mptee beer bottles on the road.  Michelins are
not cheap ya know.   And the trades people who leave nails on the road. Good
bye one 165-13 XAs, and $100.00.

And the people who drive in the passing lane.  Why is it that is works in 
Germany? Italy? Edmonton International Speedway? 

Tailgaters? Touch the brakes? Slow down? Blow a tyre? Drop a grear and envelope
them in blue smoke? Drop a gear and open the second venturie?  Slow down and
show them that, "yes, I am crazy enough to touch bumpers at 60MPH."

If I had it my way, there would be manditory vehicle inspections, manditory
driver training classes, manditory high speed driving courses, manditory
vehicle maintainance classes, and the British 3 demerit system.

So for all you guys (?) who have 16" wide bias ply tyres:

                      <<  FLAME OFF  >>
