Are you telling me that they didn't design the miata to release the seat
belts and blow the hardtop off like a jet fighter canopy during
ejection? What cheap *******s!

That's it, I am crawling into my hole and doing the research I should
have done in the first place.

G'night everyone, except for Lanny. I hope that you sleep very poorly
tonight after abusing me so. :-)

Did you get the parking space?

Yes I did.
I showed the other driver that driving a Tahoe did not give her an
automatic right to the parking space. It was well worth it and I would
do it again. ;-)

"Um, Iva dear, could you please stop leaving the toilet seat up?" ;-)

Sorry,

Pat

OMG, I did it again! I'm sorry Iva. There was some other miataphile with an
unusual name that I guess I keep getting you mixed up with.

My apologies (to you Iva, not Pat. WE are still at war ........I guess
........I had forgotten that .............and hey, no no no nothing is
slipping!)

I was going to make a derogatory remark about the limited use of turnsignals
in Austin but refrained thinking you might take offence. Now I can see, you
would. I they only get used twice a week, you must not be using them. It's
more than two turns to get out of your neighborhood ;-)

I use them anytime another driver can see me about to make a turn, but I
am a rare breed around here.

Still, I do take offense anyway, as we are in a state of war, so screw
you. ;-)

Staying with that non-civil theme, I'd argue that you should use your
signals every time. Why, you ask? Glad you asked. If you only use them when
another driver can see you this implies that you're assessing each situation
and making a decision based on your perception, right? There's a big problem
there. You are human! That being a given (for the sake of argument) you are
guaranteed to make some mistakes (ie: not seeing someone in your blind spot,
maybe someone on a 100hp, 500 lb bike who got there in just under a split
second). This time is when your signal is most likely to save a life /
accident, right? Yes! The bottom line is, are you too busy to push the
lever? Too tired? Too weak? No, it's really no trouble at all (remember
those brain cells also!). Why risk an accident with the only benefit being
you get to more closely resemble a couch potatoe while driving? Come on, the
life you save might be your best budd or some other enthusiast on the road.
Heck it could be your grandma! Ok, now I've gone too far.........no more
coffee and GT4 tonight!
