A happy little drive

[surreelantra]

Trance music in the car = I drive slower but my reaction time's much better

45-minute drive to work/Hell log:

3:00pm- behind a white minivan who's taking curves way faster that it should. Mega-sway.

3:02- I turn left at an intersection and almost get rear-ended by a kid in a Probe. I may not obey speed limits but I don't speed where I can't see! :rolleyes:

3:04- Senior citizen bus coming the other way is all over the road - from the shoulder to my side. WTF?

3:22- 2/3 of the way over a 1-way bridge and a SUV coming the other way decides to challenge me. I put it in Park and wait for the goof to back up. He gives me the one-finger salute for my victory.

3:28- stuck behing a dump truck going uphill carrying hot asphalt. I close the vents and stay back.

3:30- a gray Buick pulls out in front of me and slams on the brakes! :eek: NO time to brake so I swerve around her on the shoulder. I begin thinking about buying a louder car horn. EDIT: oh yeah, to get in front of me she pulled out in front of a tractor trailer coming the other way. Can't forget that.

3:30-3:45- traffic jam the rest of the way! YAY!

cops seen = zero where'd they all go?

you know, the words and "rear end" and "probe" are usually never in a sentence that has anything to do with a positive outcome . . . no pun intended

^^^ BWahahaah.

Sounds like a typical Friday afternoon, huh?

[surreelantra]

At least i didn't say I was rear-ended by a kid with a Probe. Ick.

Pennsylvania: bad drivers, lousy roads, and ugly license plates

Dude... the new PA plates are SO gay! (no offense to those on board, sorry scotty and others <3)


But ya, butler is like that. I hate this place. Watson has balls to have his car lowered and with a kit on it. As do any other PA members where penndot doesnt fix the potholes. Ever.

[surreelantra]

My wife has the special river otter plate and I have the train plate just avoid the standard PA P.O.S. plate.

ya that plate looks blah, i have a light house plate in virginia my dad has a north carolina tarheel one. <opz, no offense taken :) appreciate u said that though

[wildman92]

I'd just like to say that the plates from New York and Ohio are not that more exciting than that one from PA. If I had time, I'd find examples of each and post them.

Surelantra --
It sounds like you were in my neck of the woods (Pittsburgh area)... was it raining, perhaps? I've noticed that most Pennsylvania driver's brains shut off when it rains.

:eek: (The sky is falling; the sky is falling!!!) :eek:

I drive around the Allentown/Lansdale/Reading area, and that kind of dopeyness occurs every day. I used to obey the laws more carefully until one day a utility truck ran a red light and T-boned my Cutlass Supreme. Nearly died and I was scared to drive for a few weeks. Now I drive much more aggressively to protect myself.

[felixr]

sometimes i drive with no pants on

not for protection so much as for the hell of it, and to see just how far i could get till i got caught or HAD to get out of the car for something
