Hey L,

What did you say when you phoned the Convent ? I had this scene outside my home this morning !

[particlewave]

Can't blame them, I guess...she does have sexy rear end/tramp stamp!

They seem to fear my "land shark".

in Texas, I get the big Dodges trying to "fog" me all the time... I'd trade that for a mustang following too closely.

Try living in NC, "Nascar Heaven". Where everyone drives big pickups with BIG WHEELS !!! They hate Porsches.

I had some idiot do that to me on my bicycle a few weeks ago. I am going to punch him in the nose. Fogging is really juvenile. I guess he and his four ton dually were intimidated by me and my 20 lb bicycle.

Bloody hell... Nothing worse than the south and the pickup trucks. Have a neighbor that drives a 4 ton ram with straight pipes. Just going 5mph rattles windows. What's his job? IT support. Doesn't haul a damn thing in his truck. It's a shame people have an interest in racing trucks and trying to make them go fast, when the vehicle in mind was designed for hauling and heavy work... not for racing. Makes me want to move to California where trucks aren't the only thing people are interested in.

Kenny, We must be neighbors ! I see that truck every day. Today while stopped for a draw bridge, A MOPED was on my A$$ and touching my bumper. I put the trans in reverse to get him to back off. I give up, a "MOPED" ?????? It never ends.........

I want to find the people that spread the "never turn off a diesel" crap so housewives leave their dually diesels running the entire time they are shopping at Walmart.

Don't want to miss out on the traffic driving rant so here is my $2 worth of ranting.

I drive in the right most lane unless I'm passing.
After I pass I get over to the right again if its clear.

Also makes folks think I'm evading police or something and they tend to stay away due to all my lane changing.

Basically I drive Autobahn rules where if your not in the right most lane you better be watching the rear view for folks with a closing speed of 100mph and get the hell out of their way or be shot or launched into the ditch.

I can't stand the the dumb southern CA drivers that are just plain stupid.

We have the tiny pickup truck drivers with ladder and lawnmower in the back that merge onto the highway at 30mph.

There are the "I'm going the speed limit so I can be in any lane I want and cause miles of congestion" folks, usually seniors in big cars.

There are the "I can only text while driving 50mph or less and to heck with the restrictions on phone use in car rules"

There are the folks from the 80's that insist that 55mph on the highway is the max speed their car should go due to the fuel shortage! ???

And then there are the dumb girls that tailgate while doing their makeup in the rear view. They need to be right behind or beside you so they can keep with the traffic flow by looking at your car by their peripheral vision.


I'm still shopping for my Boxster S but I'll no doubt be even more of a terror on the roads than I was with my Jeep Wrangler.

Swerving with the Boxster sounds like fun to deter tailgaiters and if you combine that with a handfull of failed IMS bearing balls you won't even need to carry heat. ;-)

So whats this about Johnny and his Nun groupies about? There a lot of Nuns in the deep south now?

2001 Boxster S (Near Future)
99 Jeep Wrangler 4.0l (Handy for hauling stuff in any terrain or passing traffic using the ditch)
2004 Yamaha Classic Cruiser bike (Just got the carbs cleaned, not driving it enough)
99 Camaro (Died an untimely death when a Uhaul knocked down the car structure roof it was parked under)

This particular annoyance has been messing with my Zen, so I've taken a logical approach and concluded that the number of tailgaters is no more in the Box than in my daily driver.

I think its a perception thing.
1) we are more aware of tailgaters in our fancy pants cars, and
2) the actual distance from the driver to the rear bumper is quite a bit less than most cars, making it seem as though the car behind is much closer to your bumper when, in fact, it is you(the driver) that is closer to your bumper.

Looking at it in a rational way, what you have to say is most likely true. I didn't give a rat's derriere when I drove in my beat-up crack ghetto, box on wheels about tailgaters, and didn't notice them. When you're driving a nice car however, it's the plague. Still, nice car or not, there is nothing worse than a tailgater.

I believe it is just because the back of your seat is almost the rear bumper. Anyway, is this also a sexy nun thread? lol

Is it wrong to say Deptotpr has better taste in nuns than mustang girls

Blame it on the words on our mirrors “OBJECTS IN MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR”.

Doesn't happen to me more in the box than when I'm driving any other car.
