I will avoid getting behind the wheel when Im pissed...
So last night, a bitch gets me so angry that I peeled out of the complex...and as I was exiting the highway I lost control, clipped a couple large street signs.
The damage was actually minor, with only deep dents in the roof, just barely missing my windshield and my lights. Overall, the car looks quite fucked up, but all mechanical and electrical components are sounds (which wasn't the case 2 years ago when I clipped 1 small pole, courtesy of someone cutting me off).
So yeah, if you ever get pissed off so bad, dont get behind the wheel. That is, if you're anything like me and Tiger Mind you, this comes just days after I went thru an extensive trans flush, radiator change, and differential. She tells me, "I thought you loved me?" I do love you car...Im so sorry, so sorry I let another BITCH get me so angry.
Mind you, this Bitch was a guy...thats exactly what he was.

Don't you feel like a dumbass after the outcome? Im not being harsh just was it worth it ? Like everyone get's mad and when driving, its not a good combo. Even I start driving a bit more careless but what calms me down is ... I think to myself like ... im mad but why am i BEATING my car to let out my anger. Shifting at redline or w.e what if you messed up your engine. It would def not be worth it.
anyways glad your okay just think try to calm down a bit more next time and think about hte bigger picture. Good thing you didnt get pulled over or worse, get seriously harmed.
I drive my Camry when girls put me in a bad mood, helps me relax. Either listen to music, or the sound of the legendary 5SFE power my Camry.

SADLY, SHE HAS MUCH MORE MODS...
I use to get mad pretty easy behind the wheel. But i finally just realized not to let it get to me. If someone tailgates me then they can go around cause im not going to go any faster for them. Examples like that. Glad your okay but i know what you mean. Dont take it out on the car though. Take it out on the person =D But only if noone is looking ;] haha jk but in all honestly just "brush your shoulder off" as some random rapper once said. Don't let things get to ya. Ive been thinking extremely positive for the last year and everything works out great! Im just an extremely mellow person i guess. Wow i just ranted. I feel like a mix between a therapist and the "yes" man =0

Eh, I did that during the summer. But now that it's snowy, I just grab the Explorer, and some relaxing music, and go powersliding in the cinema parking lot (Would take the Cam, but FWD... ).
Well, that, or if I'm feeling really lazy/pissed, Counterstrike/HalfLife2, or some other FPS. Those things are great stress relief

I realize it was a silly mistake. Even I was surprised how angry I got...But Im also glad everything is ok with the car. The only drawback is I am wanting to get my car repainted as the finish is really starting to get worn...Now its going to cost even more to get it painted
But at this point, I cant dwell on it to much. I dont want to drown in additional negativity.
"I will avoid getting behind the wheel when I'm pissed..."
If you say that to any Aussie or Kiwi, they'd think you've been drinkin mate! "Pissed" means "drunk" here mainly, but also means pissed off, lol...
Sounds like an interesting night. Some women are just total biatches. Normally Iced Coffee and Curry Pies help me out, if not, I'll get out my metal music like Lamb of God or DevilDriver (saw them play only a couple of nights ago in Brissy - awesome concert).
Yeah... when something pisses you off, find something that'll make you feel better rather than making things worse mate.
Yeah taking my anger out behind the wheel is never a good idea, granted I'm one of those people that might have a Dr. Jeckyl to Mr. Hyde transformation behind the wheel... If you do something wrong in front of me, just get prepared to hear my horn, and if your'e lucky enough to be sitting next to me, you'll hear expelatives in english, french and arabic
But no seriously bad idea driving when your'e mad... If I am angry, I don't let it out on my car, cause I know it will catch up to me sometime down the road. I simply try to do some driving while listening to music, works perfectly. I love driving, I love my car and I love music, put them all together and it makes me a happier person

Same thing up here, but maybe it's a Quebecoise thing
I find that the best is actually to go to Starbucks, get a large caramel Frappucino, get a Harveys Bacon Cheese onionring burger with extra onion rings on the side, and cruise down Lakeshore (Name of the street; Can probably guess why ) with some relaxing tunes (Britney Spears "3" lol)
