Festivus 2015 -- The Airing of Grievances

People driving up a slight slope on an interstate and can't maintain their speed.

In general. People who will NOT use cruise contro. I was #3 in line behind a guy doing around 45 today. Road conditions were wet, 55 would have been safe. 15 miles of him varying speed 42-47. Time we got to twon there was a half mile of traffic backed up behind him.

Tow rating for light trucks and cars in other countries is about double the USA rating for the same vehicle.
Tow rating for six cylinder Outback in US: 3,500 lbs. WRX zero.

Everywhere else: 4,400 lbs. WRX 2,000 lbs. Must be the lawyers.

The light turns green and only one or two cars make it through the intersection because the 1st car was checking e-mail or talking on the phone and did not realize the light had changed for 15-20 seconds.

We vacationed in Washington DC this past summer. If you were tardy on the light for more than two seconds the horns were blaring. Kind of surprised me, I thought they enjoyed gridlock.

I'm glad we walked everywhere we went.

Right. You can see them in their mirror with their head bowed down.

People ask a question on the forum. They get several answers, sometimes different, then never report what worked.

We want to know who was right! :)

I will put an Amen with that one. Too many "one and done" posters. Ask a question, then never return. We don't know if they took some of the advice, or their problem went away, of they just died.. We will never know.:mad:

The nice thing about driving in Germany is there is a yellow light before the green light. I do not recommend texting and driving there. They take driving much more seriously than we do in the USA.

IME on the east coast, you need to wait 15-20 seconds for the red-light-runner traffic to clear before going through a green light. So maybe it all evens out?
