Unfortunately, all those bad drivers affect all of us directly (well, those of us with insurance)

man that is one sweet GOAT !! yeah baby.

of course now that puppy would SUCK in the snow :)

I agree RIP.. over confidence is a huge one around here.
I drive a 4wd (cherokee) and I have no problems whatsoever.
but it never fails... just this morning.. suburban in the ditch on the way to work.

I'm beggining to think my drive to work is getting to be like frogger... avoiding tourons, suv's, wild game, construction vehicles (which have popped up like a rash)...

and I'm the frog!

It is not to bad a car, a tad top heavy, but I have beaten the hell out of it a few times off road and on Pismo beach.

LoL I drive it more carefully then any other car though.


I had a full-size Blazer and loved it, talk about fun off road! lol and man nothing like an old beat up truck to abuse, but that too, I drove very carefully. I also never washed it, lol went mudding and the blue truck was brown tell it rained again...
and MAN what a nice back seat!! :D

 When your braking distance is so long, I can not see how these jokers in Suberbans and other BIG suv can feel safe tail gating? lol


:D

Wlfgang, 1 speeding ticket (19 in a 15 mph zone :rolleyes: ) and 1 accident (illegal immigrant ran a stop light , and hit my motorcycle in 1980) in 27 years of driving.  Did I tell you I'm superstitious? ;)

the problem up here in snow country is that guys think that because they've taken their 4wd off road (dirt) and hot rodded around in the dirt, got airborne, whatever..
that they think that ice/snow driving is the same.

there are plenty of responsible , skilled drivers but there's that one in 10 (or whatever) that just want to remove themselves from the gene pool.

damn rip.. that's pretty good.

I've been totalled by a drunk driver while sitting at a stop light and I've had a few speeding tickets (years ago, new SS) but other than that I've been lucky.
Especially considering I drive to Denver frequently in the winter for hockey games and such.  3 hour one way of mountain driving over the divide.

A couple 3 years ago I drove thru Atlanta during morning hour rush hour in THE worst rainstorm I've ever been in.  I could BARELY see past the hood of my car, let alone 50 feet.  I was going maybe 45 and I wanted to go slower, but was afraid I'd get rear ended.

Those boneheads were going by me at 70+ mph.  One guy in an explorer hydroplaned and rolled right behind me.  The people that managed to get around him just kept on trucking as fast as they could.  Still hydroplaning as they went by me.

It was 1 hour plus of the most white knuckle driving I've ever been in.  When we finally got out of Atlanta, I was soaking wet from sweat from the stress.  

You guys that live down there, in Atlanta and surrounding area that do the commute, no offense here..

YOU'RE ALL NUTS!!!!  SLOW THE HELL DOWN!!  :D

I can laugh about it now, but I wan't a happy camper immediately afterwords...

You going to burn in muscle car hell for saying that.


It is a PONTIAC GTO

Not even the same underpinnings as a nova.

It is a GM A body like the chevelle, skylark, 442, etc.

The nova was the 60s version of the ford escort.

And I concur on the drivers around here, they suck.  I think some of it can be traced to recent immigrants and their offspring.  But there are plenty of WASPy mofos driving like @#$!@# too.  The sad thing is that the "storm" yesterday was just a light drizzle by midwestern standards.  I don't know what people around here would do if we actually had a real T-storm.

Your tellin me, Commute? Hell on a Sun. afternoon at 3pm traffic is the same as M-F at 5-8.  Thing is all you damn yankees moved down here, and created one hell of a mess.  I have lived in GA all my life and can remember only 8-9 years ago traffic in Atl. was non existant with the exception of rush hour.  Hell I live in what would be called the "stick" of the metro area.  It used to take me 15 minutes to get to Stn. Mtn. Park from my house.  The equivalent of 10-15mile drive.  NOW if I were to make that drive today 30+ minutes easily.  Friggin CarpetBaggers :confused:
