no, it's cool, you're the sane one in this situation.
I'll use my actual signal light to communicate which way I will back out in. Most people are fucking retarded ond get confused by it so lately I've just been honking twice, looking behind me, and gassing it in reverse
I would assume that a person is a legit retard if hes using his hazards
There are these little white lights that come on the back of my car that light up when I'm in reverse. No other signal is necessary.
Apparently you need to use your hazard lights whenever youre doing something. Backing up, driving when its raining, when parking etc.
yeah just put those hazards on in the rain so you can proceed to make completely ambiguous lane changes in traffic and low traction conditions
Why yes I dont use turn signals how can you tell?
Don't forget illegally parking.
Fucking chebbys and those reverse lights. the other day I waved a Tahoe on because I wasn't in a hurry, and figured it was a good time for him to back out. Flashed my lights, he still didn't move, tapped my horn friendly, still nothing
Guy wasn't even in it, the reverse lights just come on because it was unlocked. O felt like a tard
Every GM car since 2014 has done this and it infuriates me to no end.
WHY THE FUCK ARE THE WHITES ON IF THE DRIVER ISN'T BACKING OUT?
WHY THE FUCK ARE THE WHITES ON AS THE DRIVER IS GETTING OUT OF THE CAR?
WHITES SHOULD BE ON FOR REVERSE ONLY, AND NOTHING ELSE
Alec, we saw your newest video, we know you hate it, we all hate it.
I mean having the reverse lights on but no brake lights is kind of a giveaway. It still gets me every now and then.

Manual cars don't creep.
There are like 3 manual GM cars. The other 99% are all automatics.
Manual drivers are creeps
Kek, this. 98% of the time manual is just a cope for having some gutless and gay old front wheel Toyota/Honda/Nissan/Mazda econobox shitheap with maybe ~100 HP brand new yet they reeee:
>MUH CUNTROHL OF THUH GEERS
>MUH FUEL IKAHNAMY!
>MUH RELIUHBILITEE
But somehow all the stickfags I know swear they're getting something over on the car world not driving an automatic+saving money but there they are buying a new clutch, throw out bearing, or slave cylinder every year and a half. All likely quite a but more than my ~$150 ATF+filter change every 3rd year.
I've driven stick too but still buy only automatics. Why make driving a tedious chore every inch you move?
>every year and a half
lol actual skill issue. they can't drive for shit, or they're hooning the shit out of the car with clutch dumps and similar abuse.
>Why make driving a tedious chore
this was what i thought but having driven one for a few months, i don't even think about it, it becomes second nature. also in stop start traffic just pick a gear and crawl along. as a side effect you get rid of that accordion effect which just makes congestion worse
I suspect it's probably a nicer experience on say a sports car with a tight maybe gated shifter but I'm sure learning on 3 beat to shit examples didn't help my distaste for manual. I got the hang of it on a 2 speed Toyota forklift, a Geo Metro XFi and a really wrung out Toyota Tacoma pickup truck which was the lamest of all in stick form. It's still a lot more work for no palpable benefit besides hoony atuff like like shifting in a corner to break traction and dumping the clutch and jumping gears out of order for lulz, again stuff not too thrilling to do in an old Geo hatchback, the company forklift or your buddy's dad's old truck
most of the time vague shifts are caused by worn out bushings. i got a delrin one for the shifter ball socket, and a bronze one for the lever arm inside the gearbox. shifts are very crisp, i've never used a gated shifter, but i figure that with these upgraded bushings, it's probably how gated shifter would feel like.

did it have the R gearbox? toyota's R gearboxes were initially truck trans so they shift like one, even the ones put in their fun cars. the w58 i have is silky smooth.
a manual for a late model vehicle would more than likely just be for fun, I'm sure there's some niche uses that I can't think of from the top of my head, but new autos are insanely efficient compared to the slushboxes they used to be. for older cars a manual swap was often the best value-for-money mod if you wanted more power short of forced induction but these days with engines making the kind of power they do now, it's kind of redundant.
Idk wtf one it had, it was up high on a crooked stick plus there was this little scoop out of the middle of the bench seat to make room for the shifting actions. Bottom line is I'm not some spaz that needed Ritalin in childhood so any car I doesn't need a manual swap to suddenly not suck. Do you twitchy ADHD fuckers explode if you have to be calm and remain still for more than 5 seconds or something?
i'm just saying that if you had a shit gearbox like it sounds like you did then of course you're gonna hate it.
t b h after about a month or so, i don't even think about shifting anymore. it's all habit now, which is why i've always been puzzled by the whole adhd attention span meme about it.
>there they are buying a new clutch, throw out bearing, or slave cylinder every year and a half.
These are not yearly service parts, nice larp busrider.
They are when you shift gears like a mong. You're just Dunning-Krugering things since you can't believe people that prefer stick are oftentimes retarded to boot. You like stick shift and would rather not consider yourself yet another retard, its ok.
lol wtf left is literally the car I bought 6 months ago. like, within 2k miles and $300
Picture is the situation I had with buying my IS200.
The automatics are 3-4k in decent condition.
The worst manual with clear crash damage is like 8k, in decent condition over 15k.
But everyone thinks I have an expensive car because it's an automatic.
>they are buying a new clutch, throw out bearing, or slave cylinder every year and a half

>Why make driving a tedious chore every inch you move
Skill issue
You sound beta as fuck
I don't know how to drive an automatic and it shows
>hazards on when reversing
In what country is this even a thing? Not here in Burgerland.
No, they're just being blind and stupid. Kind of like my buddy too lazy/retarded to spend $4 on new reverse bulbs for his E30 coupe and got nailed backing out of a parking space at the grocery store.

If a biker is mad at you, you're always the one in the right. You don't need to use your hazards for everything, the biker is most likely brain damaged from a previous accident he caused
were you trying to parallel park? this is the only situation i can imagine where someone would get mad at you for reversing
Nope. Was exiting from a narrow street after visiting a friend. The side was being repaired so the street was very narrow.
What the actual fuck?
The white reverse lights exist for a reason
The bikers probably dont know what it means since bikes dont have reverse(assuming they dont own a car)
>a country where bicyclists do not know what reversing lights on a car mean
I'd actually be very worried about taking part in a traffic that includes this type of people.
Not but when reversing you have to give way and have those white reverse lights on.
English please
>rider (motorcycle)
Speaking as a motorcyclist I would expect your reverse lights to come on; hazard lights are for indicating that you're STOPPED or SLOW in an area that would normally be unexpected and thus present a static road hazard/obstacle. Flashing hazards is not only redundant when reverse lights are on, it's also confusing unless you are, for whatever dumb fucking reason, backing out onto a major highway/interstate/55mph+ street and have your hazards on for a few seconds while you accelerate up to speed because in that case you would be broadcasting that you are a slow vehicle... until you aren't. Just backing up generally, such as in parking lots or normal driveways, doesn't present cause to use hazard lights.

Who gives a shit what /n/iggers think.
I respect bicycle riders more than the naggers of the road(motorbike riders)
