People who know a lane is going to end and don't get over until the last second causing everyone to slam on their brakes and yet think you're the moron becuase you didn't let them over soon enough.

Today, my TPMS that freaked out at 6:30am on my way to work, forcing me to turn around and come back home, miss another day of work, drive all the way to Sill Terhar only for the F#(*^)! light to go off when im 2 damn blocks away!!!!!!

Lesson for the day - when tpms light comes on, ignore it til the damn tires fall off :lol:

Its more than likely temperatures. When it gets very cold it messes with tire pressures thus setting off TPMS. Happens to me every time it gets real cold out. Its nothing to worry about, if you can visually see that there is nothing wrong with the tires then your fine. Its even worse if you leave your car outside. And it went away on you because you drove long enough for the tires to warm up, correcting the pressures.

I figured that is what happen, this is the first car I've ever had with all the new technology and what not so I wasn't sure what to do really. I just found it odd that it didnt do this the last time it was real cold like this but whatever. Just glad nothing is wrong.

My TPMS is a visual check of my tires if I remember to look... I got my car the year before that added this 'feature' Good thing it's not oversensative.

Didn't know that this was something that I needed to gripe about until it happened to me 15 minutes ago.
Some moron turned left into a roundabout. WTF?

when I lived in Fotr Lauderdale I did something similar. A lady in a covertable SAAB threw her crumpled up cigarrette pack over her riolled up window(Top was down). SO I got out of my car, wlalked up to her car, which was two vehicles in front of me. And hander her the pack back and said "Excuse me M'am, you dropped this. If you feel the need to throw your trash on the street, go back to New Jersey." (She did have Jersey plates.)

Or reaching into the car and snapping off the indicator lever, "I guess you don't really need this."
