Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Insulting your driving.

What really grinds my gears is that I like to have fun in a snow filled empty parking lot just like the next guy. But because of that I'm considered a bad driver. I've never been in an accident I have one ticket which I fought and won. But my girlfriend considers me be a bad driver which really pisses me off because she hasn't even had her license for a year and I've had mine for coming up on 3. End rant
 


But it's continuous. Does nothing but piss me off. No matter what I'm always unsafe or I'm a bad driver or I'm an Idiot for having fun because she wants me to be safe
 
just like tiger cubs play. but they are training and dont know it.

playing in a open snow covered lot is about the best training you can get. this way when the car jumps out from under you know how to deal with it.


people who think bad of this are shallow minded people with no street smarts most of the time. ( unless you slid into their car ) lol
 
I agree ^

To call it unsafe and that you're a bad driver for intentionally doing that in an empty lot sounds like something a mother would say. Are you sure it's not your mom telling you that? lol

Your a guy, your always going to be a Idiot in their eyes it's part of our DNA we enjoy having fun rather if it's safe or not. Want her to stop when she's not looking karate chop her in her crotch that should quiet her for a bit or at the very least put a smile on your face :)
 
I think we all learn that way.
Spank her at the appropriate time and say"who's the bad driver Now"

Holy **** that just made me laugh so hard haha
 


my wife just doesn't like it when i slide my car around when there are other cars close to me. otherwise she likes sliding just as much as i do.

your girlfriend is whack.
 
My wife used to think the same (wasn't very vocal about it, but I could tell). I wasn't too worried about it. I drove how I drove and had no wrecks that were my fault and avoided many that would have been the other persons. We have had a couple of close calls that I avoided (one would have certainly put everyone in the car in the hospital). She couldn't believe I managed to maneuver the way I did and maintain control while doing 60 on the interstate in pouring rain. I explained that her driving like a little old lady and being timid was not useful when someone is skidding across the median and about to hit you head on. She gets it now. She hasn't really changed her driving, but now defends me when people insinuate that I drive bad.
 


been together with mine for 10 years, she has no issues on my driving, but what grinds my gears is the list of "to do" thing that never runs out..... NEVER! :th_angry-cussing:
 
Haha well mine doesn't give me a list. When my parents are out of town. She cleans she cooks for me does my laundry folds my clothes. I got a keeper

This is what I tell EVERYONE. It is the best way to practice control loss. A couple things I also do is I never do it with passengers unless they are okay with it. Also I never practice around other objects such as light poles, cars, or people. I can't even tell you how many times I've been driving along and lost control and regained it without even thinking about it. The first time I lost control was in front of a semi on the highway. Had the car sideways after going over a bridge and somehow brought it back.

If you stress it as a practice to your gf rather than just messing around you can get her to understand. Like I said, I tell everyone it's practice but even though its fun to do I don't emphasize that.
