Another forum I used to frequent had a rants and raves section where people were allowed to rant, rave, and argue some of their opinions that generally derail discussion elsewhere. I feel this may give some members a place to move the thread derailing stuff to keep us on topic more often. Just a suggestion and I'm curious of the opinion others have on this.

Good idea.  We also have a Random Thoughts thread, Random Pics thread, and an OffTopic subforum for non-EB related discussions.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

So off topic is friendly to heated discussion?

I suppose, as long as it doesn't get abusive.  Abuse/foul language will NOT be tolerated, simply no need or place for it.  Heated discussions should provoke thought, information-sharing, positive things.  There can't be a true "100%" censorship-free, "free speech" discussion, but I am willing to get pretty close to that line.  Don't try to hide behind the fact this is on the internet and not face2face.  Take responsibility.

Is this strictly EBP forum/EB/Automotive related?

I didn't think so, could be anything, but sunwolf can clarify ...

There are certain things I can go on a rant about like "HEMI people." I'm sure others would also like to discuss and vent.

LOL!

I actually don't have any experience at all with them.

But I'll say this - the new company pickup is now HEMI equipped. The outgoing lease was a 2012, with that gutless 4.7l V8.

Talk about a world of difference. This sucker is a tire roaster.

I hate anyone who texts while they drive. I literally want to run them off the road and watch them burn  >:D  Oh, and get the F**K out of the left lane if you're going slower then the traffic around you!

With that said; My wife owns a new 2015 Audi A3 2.0T quattro which I've been ordering performace parts for in my spare time (ie; APR Tune, Intake, Downpipe, Springs, Wheels, Boost Gauge, etc.) I'm now worried that her car will be faster than mine when all said and done.  :'(

Drives me nuts! I've given many middle finger notifications for this offense. It's always when I'm doing 5 over the limit too.
13' SHO, Non-PP, Tuned by Torrie, Meth injection, 3 bar, 170* stat, custom axle back exhaust, Prosport Boost gauge.
15' F150 Lariat Sport, all the options, 3.5L Eco. (fiancée ride.)
13' GTCS, will be missed.

I guess for now it will just exist as a thread.

People who take 1/4 mile to change lanes or people who drive in 2 lanes. My parents both do this.

Also people who don't use turn signals. I have had people try to tell me that there is no reason to use turn signals and I want to strangle these people. If everyone used turn signals I would bet we eliminate at least a quarter of accidents.
