Welcome to internet, where the angry nerds will always find something to rage about in their dark basement.

Yea, really, I've been doing that since 1973, this is the first time anyone mentioned it?, it just helps cool your arm and shoulder. There is a downside, if you get sideswiped your arm is toast..

I'm gonna have to 'side' with exdeath here. Quotes because I'm not 'taking sides,' but this is internet, so that's what it's interpreted as.

I'm pretty sure he's the same type as me. If I'm driving a fast car, especially one that's 'flamboyant'- often meaning 'loud' in an uncontrollable 'the car would not be fast if it didn't have a fairly wide-open exhaust' kind of way, not a 'I'm going to rev my straight-piped hillbilly piece of shit as people' kind of way...

...people will do dumb shit. Like rev their straight-piped hillbilly piece of shit at you. And I'll do what I would bet exdeath does: get away from their dumbassery by showing them your ass. Usually with little effort.

People with cars that are actually fast, especially custom ones, rarely go looking for trouble.

Also I often drive with my arm out the window (if it's down). With a stick shift. Often while smoking (that's why the window's down). OMG I'm just rubbing in your face that driving is easy when you're not retarded (and eating a Big Mac while texting).

edit- Although exdeath is missing one thing, in my experience...the kind of idiots that want to 'race' you rarely understand when they've been thoroughly trounced. Hence why they generally always do their best to pass you at some point. At WOT. Going slow as shit. Loudly. DUDES I TOTALLY BURNED THAT GUY WITH MY MAD FIFTH GEAR PULL YO.

I never mastered that. I could get everything but the final rollup, where it would go crooked, and dump everything out. I could drive with my knee though. When I had my Thing I could drive winding country roads with my knee cause the wheel was so close.

LOL, yeah, the tuck in of the paper is the hard bit, you sort of have to move your finger along as you tuck one end to get the rest, though I do have to resort to knee holding the wheel sometimes, as the fingers sometimes dont feel very ummm, supple?, like on a cold day!

This thread is amusing, but honestly I'm starting to wonder just a little about OP's mental health. Raging about something so innocent and trivial, what is wrong with you?

Op, what is your opinion on men of model-quality looks that walk around with their thumbs in their belt buckles?

It's just your way of trying to condone it. People do it to me all the time, you can just ignore them. You're just as bad as them.

Meh, as someone who doesn't pick races OR show up people who do, I can still enjoy the sight of some loud, annoying asshole being shut down by someone in a much faster car (sleeper or not).

As long as no one is out of control and I'm in no trouble, might as well enjoy the show.

why is having an extra comma at the end of your sentence, something that you do?

Your sideview mirror is just fine. Because you are not going to drive the same way with your arm there and because you still have the option of retracting it and because sideswipes are already unlikely all add up to make it extremely unlikely your arm will get hurt.

I don't see it here, then again who opens their windows with the heat blasting? Kinda counter productive.

In summer I may see it here and there but even then it's rare people open their window because if it's summer chances are there's water/mud/sand on the street from the snow melt off that can be splashed up.

I don't really see it as arrogant though. It least they're not using a cell phone. Unless the other hand is doing that.... :|

You think you're so fucking cool, but you're NOT!!!

Starting to see this a lot more now that the weather is getting warmer. Damn arrogant pricks.

Someday you'll grow up enough that you can hang your arm out the window like the big kids...just be patient.
Of course, if you have little toothpick arms...you may not want to do this...the wind will blow your arm back and you will hit yourself in the face repeatedly....

Not if it makes you look like a stuck-up prick, no.

Well, you are - but then I get to call you a stuck-up prick.

Then I get to give you the finger. Quite frankly, fuck you. If I'm not causing a traffic issue, I'll drive how I want.

Some people actually enjoy driving and like to relax while doing it. Some people like to judge other people and criticize for anything not going their way. That's just how the world works.

I do it for a few seconds sometimes especially when the whether turns nice here in the spring. It's not to look cool, I just like the feel of the air rushing by.

I can't do it properly. Stupid SUVs mean that new cars get super high window sills, so that the door is still properly reinforced against that t-boning SUV, and hence it's close to impossible to get my arm out there.
In older cars (or when seated even higher) though - obviously that's what you do when the weather's nice, and you're running along at speeds where your ear doesn't explode from having the window down. Getting the sun on your skin makes you happy, OP. You should try it sometimes.

This could, quite possibly, be the worst rant I have ever read on ATOT.
