Virginia Bad Drivers: Episode 6
Featuring a genius on a test drive who runs over the curb rushing to pull out in front of me. It just keeps getting better! We're rapidly nearing our goal, so if you haven't subbed to my channel yet, please do so!

Favorite video so far. :cheers: "I am assuming this guy has a broken wrist..." :lol:

The dude on the test drive obviously was trying to test out the car's off-road rock climbing skills, not sure why you did not catch that. It was strategic... :ninja:

I would really encourage you to not be so narrow minded, everyone out there is very deliberate in what they do.

For example, the folks in your videos that do not use turn signals are conscious of two things:
1) these bulbs are expensive to replace. By not using your turn signal you are maximizing the life and therefore saving money, not to mention the precious natural resources that are consumed by the manufacture, packaging and shipping of these items.
2) LED and incandescent bulbs work by pushing electrical current through the filament (or silicon for LED) and the by-product there is, wait for it, HEAT. This also takes ENERGY to produce said electricity. With our globe already warming at an alarming rate, and the consumption of fossil fuels naturally being evil, they are SAVING THE PLANET by not using their turn signals.

Cars that pull in front of you too close are also very reasoned. By pulling in with a low distance between you and them, they are actually helping your fuel mileage by putting you in their slipstream, so that your car does not have to do as much work to penetrate the air. See 2) above. You should really be thanking them.

I would say you really need to put more thought in before you judge others. It all is well thought out... :headbonk:

All valid points! This is why I value your input so much! Hahaha!

It's mainly because I don't have Nav and the other Sync 3 screens are pretty useless to me. I know what song is playing, I don't need to see the artwork Ford! LOL!

Yeah, marvelous, Ford. $4000 up charge for Premium car with the 8" screen, and another $800 for the feature that needs that screen size the most.

Exactly. Makes no sense.

Especially considering that you can buy a perfectly acceptable aftermarket one for much less (not integrated obviously), and all of the hardware is essentially already there.

True. I wanted to keep everything integrated which is why I didn't replace it. But, once they release the Sync 3 update later this year, Apple CarPlay will be supported, so I'll have Nav then.

I had to stop watching your video because of the music you were playing. Sorry dude, i still have love for you but that music tho! :frusty:
Same here. Love for the driver, but the music was obnoxious. I was attempting to picture age & look of driver. Couldn't get a bead on it.
