Yo jay, that SUCKS man. After all the carefull preperations to not get greese in your car at the garage meet, THAT happens. What a *****
On a similar note, I almost got plowed into last week. It was just starting to snow, andIm driving on the parkway, going a reasonablish speed, and carefully passing the "OMGOHNOEZWHATDOEYEDOITARESNOWINGZZ" slow people. My friend phil was with me, and says "Woah, there's a guy with blue headlights coming up on you" I look in my mirror and the nimrod was coming at me, FAST! I jammed the gas to get around a box truck so I could move over / not get rear ended. He flew past me easilly 20 mph faster than I was going (and I was going a solid 75 by the time I passed the truck) Dumbass

Howzabout a red box truck passing EVERYTHING in site, including MEE, in a sleet storm. I looked through the ice on my windows and THOUGHT it said 'Austin Powers'. I was WRONG!! It said " Austin POWDER company, and had EXPLOSIVES placards all OVER IT! That guy should have been DRAGGED out of that cab and SHOT!

Sorry to hear that sounds like me december of '06, on the way back from the body shop geting an estimate for damage done earlier that day by a left turning motorist I almost creamed a mustang, he was stoped in a lefthand turn lane and I was going 35 in a dedicated straight through lane, when I came to a stop we were 3 abreast in 2 lanes, I was yelling obcenities and shaking my fist in the air, his eyes were huge, never seen anything like it!
As far as your carpet, I saw 2 outbacks and I think a 96-up legacy in the Rancho Cordova CA (sacramento) pick-n-pull last week, but you'd need to find a local to look since I'm 1.5 hours away and only have full size truck to drive Quote:

Just acouple days after I had bought my '95 (was still waiting for the license plates in the mail) I had some lady do that to me on the highway.......the rear bumper of her car disappeared under my hood (thats how close we came). As I passed I had to let her know how I was feeling but she didn't even see........to busy talking on her cell phone.
Acouple months ago I was driving my mom's car and had a guy cut me off just to get into my lane (which was shortly coming to an end) so after he got in front of me and I got into his lane he cuts me off AGAIN!!! If my step-dad hadn't been in the car I would have stayed next to him and let him slam into the side of the car there was no lane for me to pull into, my only choice was to slam on the brakes and hope the guy behind me didn't rear-end me. I hate people who don't know how to operate the steering wheel in their vehicle....... Dustin

Something like that happened to me, then the guy starts following me through every lane change, after 10 miles I move over and rapidly slowed down, move over again and start following him then he left, real quick

Something to think about, 8 months ago I purchaced a 2001 chevy diesel long bed extended cab 4x4 truck in white, on the inside it is loaded with EVERYTHING except leather, just the way I wanted it, outside it is a color that, while I didn't dislike, I wasn't looking for and wouldn't buy on purpose, but I wasn't going to pay 5-7K more for a truck in worse shape and a better collor. It literally is stealth, no one looks at me, no one cuts me off, I have the registration stickers at home, I just forgot to put them on, but not one cop even looks at me although it seems to be 2 years out, no one races out to get in front of me, and the strangest part of all...
If I use my turn signal people will almost always slow down to let me move over I've never had that before I have a teratorial cat that pees on the dog bed, me thinks people are teratorial on the freeway, and kill/die often as a result

There is a person I know, who will remain unnamed, that has a special little system in the back of their car just for occasions like this. A special little system that on command, squirts a fine jet of your finest DOT 3 out the back of his car. When someone cuts him off or advertently causes a near miss, he politely passes and gets in front of them, triggering this wonderful little setup for a few seconds "harmlessly" spraying the front of their car. Too bad for the folks that don't know what brake fluid can do to clearcoat and paint when it sits for a few hours. F**ckers should learn how to drive properly and be respectful of others.
There have been MANY times that I have(and still do)considered trying to initiate legislation for a law that mandates a license testing procedure every 10 years minimum. If you can't pass a simple safety and common regulation test, you don't deserve to have your license. |

Driving Oblivious
A long time ago, when I was fairly new to the automotive writing business, my daughter used to help me pick up test cars. She came up with the notion that people drive oblivious. They're in their steel cocoon, listening to their tunes or rants on the radio, and are only slightly aware of what's in front of them, much less what's to the side or the rear. I was stopped at a stop sign a few years ago, waiting for a traffic break in the major road I was turning into, when suddenly WHAM! and I'm around the corner. I look back, and see the lady in the car behind me sheepishly putting down her cell phone. She at least apologized, and admitted that she was paying too much attention to the call, and not enough to her driving.
Have you all been aware of the studies of driving vs. cell-phone use that have been done at the University of Utah? Five years ago, they found that hands-free cell phones make no difference, the conversation is what is causing the distraction. A driver on a cell phone equals a driver with the legal limit of alcohol. Now they've done a new study, and found that in commuting in heavy traffic, drivers on the phone can add up to 20 percent to the total commute time because they're not paying attention to the road. My friends ask me why I don't have my cell phone turned on much of the time. It's because when I'm driving, I'm driving. If I need to make a call, I pull over and stop driving. Multi-tasking does not work, if one of the tasks is driving. Paul
