hope she does, definitely would find a home

I'd ad....... Pentup Penelope. Augie and I like to go fast see and the place to do that is in the left lane, again if you missed it, the left lane is for going fast. I realize you must have the weight of the world on your shoulders but slowing down to 60mph in the left hand lane as soon as anyone gets within 10' of your bumper and then watch with glee as 6 or so cars ride up your backside is not a means to reduce that weight. The righteous indignation with hand gestures and return to speed when cars start passing you on the right is a nice touch

 

Around here in the "wine country" where bicyclists are imported from all parts of the country for militant drunken wine tasting:

Bernie and Bernice the "cool" yuppie bicyclists, you are required by law to obey the same driving laws as automobiles, including riding in single file, using hand signals, and stopping at stop lights/signs. In addition you are required to stay within bike lanes, not pull into traffic with the hopes of slowing down traffic for your compatriots. But most importantly, if you ride your bikes while touring the wine country don't stop and taste... at every single winery. I have seen too many a bike tourist taken off in a local ambulance midway into their "wine country bike tour" after meeting a larger vehicle on the road.
We all don't pull over for aggressive bike riders; we expect them to stay on the right side of the white line. In regards to those wearing obnoxious Lycra skin tight outfits, please understand you don't look good by compressing years of fat into the outfit. You would be more comfortable and easier on the local residents' demeanor (and less of a target) if you just wore old blue jeans and a comfortable tee shirt.

 

Same here every frakin' summer! ..... :mad2:

 

So who wants to do the funny about the cell phone texter being immediately obvious as they do the 30 mph speed dump as soon as they get a call, or a text?

 

Big Ups to Eastern NC! I concur with the article people who can't drive irk me. And to "Pull-out Patty" don't get out in front of me when there is nobody behind me and creep. Geez, wait 5 extra seconds, jerk.

 

Farding While Driving

More Dangerous than Cell Phones.
And an old favorite of mine, even older than cell phone / texting while driving. Typically performed by female drivers during morning rush hour @ 75 MPH.
They can be spotted from behind when you see the rear view mirror aimed at the driver. Watch out, they aren't present.

Not a typo, that's fard with a "d." It's a word derived from the French and means to apply make-up.

 

I'm found of NASCAR Ned, typically he's a guy (or gal) in an SUV that has to be 1mph faster than you, no matter what, they'll gun it full throttle from a stop light next to you to show how powerful their chariots of excess are and then make sure you're even with their back wheel the entire length of the road, even as you slow down to try and merge in behind them so you can make your upcoming turn. On a two lane road they'll tailgate you relentlessly until the first available passing zone, then zip by you so that they can travel at the exact same speed you were previously going, only immediately in front of you this time.

 

Ya know I keep looking for the "howitzer" option for every car I bought. Would make short work of all the morons on the road. So far the Mfg's have not headed my request(s).

Suppose if they did I would be sitting in prison right now. "public service" would probably not be the best defense at my murder trial...........

 

I'm looking for a 73 Buick Estate Wagon with a 454 in it. gonna ride to work one day and if someone does something stupid... not even gonna tap the breaks. Just let several tons of good ol' fashion detroit steel do some "educating".

it's the second longest production car behind the 72? Cadillac El dorado....so i've been told by a friend that used to have one

 

Not that tapping those did much good in those cars, may as well have tried using a brick tied to a rope as an anchor for those land yachts.
I miss the bumpers on the uparmored trucks we had in Afghanistan.

 

equipped with that pointed battering ram as well.... the damage you could do :lol:
