    I don't care what you'd be driving, a '49 Crosley for crying out loud, having a DHL truck pass you on a curve would just be embarrassing as he!!.

    DHL dispatch: Franz, why does it always take you an hour longer to do your route on Thursdays?
    Franz: Don't know what you're talking about............
    Dispatch: And what is that stain on the front of the truck?
    Franz: I think I scared the poo out of someone ahead of me.

    I want to work for DHL........:D

    Here in Yurp, vans such as that DHL Ford Transit are the working transport of choice for most tradespeople and local delivery. In Britain, any self-respecting builder will drive a white one, so we have a generic person known as White Van Man - a feared road user, on a par with the second coming of the Visigoths. Transits and particularly Sprinters can be quite fast vehicles (say, over 90mph top end) though it is the way they are driven that makes them so fast. As the wrinkled front fender of that DHL demonstrates, if it ain't your vehicle, there's never a reason to slow down. Renting a Transit also makes almost any driver descend to the lowest level, playing hooligan for the day.

    That's how everyone in Boston, New York and Philly drives everyday.

    Turn signals are for after the turn is completed. :lol:

    You may have the Ring but we have the DC beltway and the perimeter ring around Atlanta.
