Now I Know Why Brent Slaps Fenders by Scott en Aztlán
Since I started walking to/from the train station every day, I've noticed just how many ASSHOLE drivers there are out there on the roads. If you think they're bad to other drivers, you should see what they do to pedestrians and pedalcyclists. I guess they feel all big and brave in their 2-ton metal...

Even moe stupid cop tricks by DTJ
The other day I was driving through a small city in Illinois, when I noticed a cop come out of a cross street through a red light. He turned in front of me to go the other way. Fortunately I know enough to recognize that if a cop is moving he is dangerous, so I avoided killing him. He then...

teenage insurance by leo
I just set up an account for an 18 1/2yo girl, with one accident on her record. The rate is $4500/yr. I added an older girl, the rate remains the same. WHAT IF I add a third boy who is 17 to the account. I think the rate is already over the top that the boy might have very little effect on...

Suicidal MFFYs? by Alexander Rogge
I had an incident this week involving another suicidal MFFY. I was in the right lane approaching two slow cars. They were going about 80, which was not a problem. The traffic was sparse, so I signalled left and moved to pass. I was going 130 when the Toyota driver in the front of the right...

59% Experience Road Rage During Their Daily Commute by [email protected]
In the next 10 years we will see a lot more people working from home thanks to the ubiquity of hi-speed internet. we will also see people rely more on other forms of transportation like rail if gas prices continue their upward trend.. just my 2 cents.

Reg versus Premium Fuel experiament in 09 PT Cruiser by Ashton Crusher[_2_]
I have pretty much gotten a decent feel for the gas mileage to expect from my PT. The last three tanks averaged about 23 mpg. So when I filled up yesterday I put premium in it instead of regular. It's too early for a definitive answer but so far it looks like it's down 2 mpg over what I'd been...

Mostly OT... The law is the law.... by Brent P
I know this mostly off topic, but it deals with cursory subjects that come out of the threads with regards to law enforcement, rights, and supreme court decisions. This is the sort of thing that occurs when government and police have too much power and property rights don't exist. Given the new...
