Irving's Dash Cam Video Thread

I got a really nice 18mm wrench this way.

In my best pirate voice: Aye, there be treasure Gman.

The guy coming back from the vet with an injured dog in the back, or the lady who just picked up 25 potted plants from the nursery, or the kid trying to move his fish tank all probably think the same thing about you when you're riding their ass while their trying to manage a turn without spilling/hurting anything.

*I also get pissed when people do things slowly, but having been in all of the situations listed above, and more, I try to remember to give people a break since I don't know what they're doing.

True... which is exactly why I don't nudge & do grumble. ;-)

...or the kid trying to move his fish tank...

I've actually accused drivers (mentally and to my wife - not face to face) of driving like they're moving a full aquarium.

I've done that (half full) and it sucks. Most of the time though, I just have coffee without a lid.

I know when I get a load of gravel or wet sand in my poor truck I drive like a great-grandpa from Italy who drove only three wheel micro cars until coming to America last week. But that's partially because I creatively exceed my weight limits and assume if I hit a bump or go around a corner more than 5mph my rear leaf springs will bend into leaf sprungs.

That's like towing that 35' lift with my short wheelbase Amigo with no sway bars installed and the lift weighed almost as much as the Amigo. Good thing the highest speed limit road I drove on was only 40 and it was raining the whole time so I stayed around 35.

Nearly done...

I near throttled the guy when he said to my face: Accidents happen.

I replied: Yes, they do but this wasnt an accident at all. This was due to the service department's negligence which is why the techs have check lists they are supposed to follow to prevent such from happening.

Accidents happen when I turn a wrench on my cars. That's why I don't charge myself.

If I'm paying for a professional, accidents shouldn't happen.

Yes Skip. It really was the one time I didn't check to see how many screws were still rolling around or tools were still sitting on the shroud under the hood.

You mean it was last time you didn't check?

Because that will probably be the last time you don't assume a monkey with a hammer was under your hood.

Another fave is idiots slowing drastically to then move into a long left turn lane. "Dude, get the hell out of the through lane and then slow it down." Should be entertaining with a world of narcissists that have no understanding of how they affect others past the end of their nose.

As annoying as this is I am bothered more by the way they?ll put in a left turn lane about the length of two small cars in a 45mph zone. Since there?s no way I can get my truck from 45+ to stopped in thirty feet it only leaves me two options- start slowing early or cross the solid line before I get to the turn lane. I usually choose option B because I?m courteous and don?t feel the need for everyone behind me to have to slow down because some road/city planner is an idiot.

Took me forever to find this specific one.^^^

& then there's this one which has a poor song choice...

[Irving]

Well, I had one negative comment on my YouTube channel about the motorcycle video. Now some guy picked up my video and put it at the front of his compilation video (the rest of which sucks, by the way). The comments shitting on me are already starting to roll in. I hope it doesn't get out of hand. I should just save face and take it down.
