I hope I never use evasive action in order to end up in a head-on collision!

Yeah, Ive noticed even with Model A drivers locally people have no courtesy for them whatsoever. Even with My chevelle I notice people drive and pull out and half the time, its due to the fact they are either on a cell, or staring at the car the come close to hitting, Just today I had a Glass delivery truck less than a car length behind me at 55mph... and the idiot was on his cell...

I got a pretty good laugh this week watching a gal try to parallel park while holding her cell phone to her ear with one hand. She never did get it in and drove off. I slipped the Chevelle in with no problem. When I took my drivers test there were two things we dreaded, parallel parking (had to get it first try) and starting and stopping on a hill. Don't believe they require that now.

Last weekend north of Toronto a very nice 1950s Jaguar XK-140 was wrecked and it's driver seriously hurt after a truck driver cut off a van which then collided with the Jag. The truck just kept on going...

I think thats why they have the ejection seat instead of a seat belt. It troughs the driver out of harms way..:cool:..his N2 bottle must have been low to only travel 12 feet...:confused:

And it's especially charming when they look you right in the eyes, wait a few seconds until you are getting close, and then go anyway. Or they just sit there and creep up, wait til you get close and then gun it. I never got angry at other drivers until I moved back here to California.

I can parallel park I just really dislike it. Especially in a car like the Chevelle that has no mirror on the passenger side. That's why I don't do it unless I absolutely have to.

I've ridden in a Model T a couple times. No seat belts, and if you hit something at any rate of speed you are going up and over the windshield. Would not be much fun at all.

You guys should try San Antonio. I think everyone that has a Suburban, Tahoe, Esclade, Navigator, Hummer, or F150 moved here and in order for the vehicle to run, the driver must be on a cell phone. The other day a guy cut me off twice in 30 seconds, no turn signal, and his left hand was full of his cell phone. I'm gonna get the loudest pair of air horns I can get and put them under my hood so the next time, I can interrupt their conversation.

I had train horns on my big truck. They don't help to cure stupid. Trust me, they won't even notice those.:sad:

Twice somebody drove under my 70' foot long, 13.5' high bright orange truck and said they didn't see it. WTF!!!???

If being stupid hurt, alot of people would be screaming in pain all day long!!
It makes you wonder how some people remember to breath, and makes you wish they'd forget how.

Oops, that was bit crass. My apologies to all the morons who may have read this. Yes, stupid people really do p!$$ me off.

A week after my dad moved to Las Vegas---he was rear-ended twice in the same day----BY THE SAME GUY:yes:.

Gets hit once---calls cops---cops issue ticket---everbody drives off.
2 blocks later--red light---BOOM---happens again.

Same cop was behind guy playing bumper tag----another ticket for that guy.

Dad was driving a 79 Bronco----kinda hard to miss.
