Non Americans yet they live in america?.... that should grind everyone's gears.

What grinds my gears: people that start their car/truck and then immediately rev the living hell out of it and then either shut it right off or drive away WOT. Being in high school I see that every day. One kid driving his dads 12 valve did this every day and eventually blew the engine, another kid driving daddies Powerstroke did the same and destroyed his engine in a fantastic display of flames one day. I understand the negative sentiment about kids my age, I don't associate with most of them and consider myself an exception. I work for what I have and enjoy every moment of it.

Another thing, people that have no respect for the 6.2/6.5 diesels, the guys at school don't know dip about it and automatically dismiss it as a turd. I spent a lot of time learning about my truck and even more time (and money) maintaining it and fixing the PO's mistakes. It is now as reliable as can be and always makes me smile

what grinds my gears is when we are on the tractors and pulling wagons and people pass in turns and blind spots in dangering everybody involved just because they can't wait for a safe place to pass.

what SHOULD christians act like.

I mean, I don't think you should cut people off and flip the bird every time some other driver farts in your general direction. Maybe they're christian and maybe they aren't. I think that they should work on their driving aggression and try to be a good example to christ since they're going to put a sticker and show that they listen to christian radio.

What grinds my gears is when people feel the urge to tell me that their Cummins,Duramax, etc. is superior to my 6.0. I understand that the 6.0 has problems but so does every other engine. It's like they just have to throw in their two cents and make it appear as though they know what they're talking about when they're just attempting to justify their Bullwinkle tow mirrors on a truck that hasn't towed anything over 1,000 pounds. Seriously. If you want to have an intelligent discussion on the pros/cons of a 6.0 to others, do it. But cut the superiority **** out.

Religion has been responsible (imo) for more wars, deaths, hate etc than any thing I could name off the top of my head. I would expect that from a religious person before I would expect it from someone going on with their day . Sure there's some great Christians out there but there's good atheist out there too. Religious people seem to be more worried about what others are doing than themselves from what I've seen...heck I used to be a very religious person. We're talking religion not belief in a higher being or faith.

I see I started something, and it is getting very close to the "The Bomb Shelter Take Cover ! All Off Topic Discussions , Anything And Everything Not Diesel Related Absolutely No Politics or Religion" rule now so I think I will change the subject.

what grinds my gears is when I am hauling heavy equipment and a person on a side street who sees me decides its ok to just pull right out in front of me, making me slam the brakes, and then commence to doing 5-10 under the speed limit..

you know what else grinds my gears? when I joined this site i mistakenly "signed in with facebook" so it gave me the user name I have. so I tried contacting the admins to change it and to this date have not got a response

Wasn't trying to go there. Just pointing out that the your religion of choice doesn't lock us all to the same moral standard.
