    The Official Road Rage Story Thread

    I liked the time some woman was leaving my neighborhood and stopped at the stop sign very close to the double yellow at the end of the road, just like all people do when they are turning left at that intersection. This happened in Maryland, so there was no thought to use her turn signal...

    Anyone accidentally run into someone famous?

    Saw and stopped by a NASCAR car parked outside of a local auto parts store on a late Saturday afternoon back in 2005 or so. My two young sons and I were the only ones there, except for the store employee who was sitting near the race car. I'm not a big NASCAR fan, but I like cars, so I showed...

    Advice for appealing speeding ticket

    Be careful and listen to what the judge says. I was in court with one judge who instructed each defendant to plead not guilty, with the explanation that if you came to court and pled guilty, you should have just mailed in the fine and saved the court the trouble of scheduling your trial...

    Hello and welcome. Introduce yourselves here

    TDI to GTI Nice to be here. Just picked up a 2011 Tornado Red GTI 4-door with Sunroof. This after driving my beloved '99 New Beetle TDI for 12 years and racking up 257,000 miles. Now the Beetle is my daughter's car, and the GTI is in the garage, but it sure hurts to see the Beetle parked in...
