what has HAPPENED to the idea of paying attn to you driving when you are driving for gods sakes!

if some cell phone yapping, child waking, woman slammed into my Porsche, I would not be in a very charitable mood....

It would take every fiber of my being to not slam her head against the damaged Porsche part multiple times

AAARRRGGHHHH I hate cell phones in the car. As soon as I get in, I turn mine off. That way the temptation to answer it is gone. I think cell phones cause more accidents than pretty much everything. It seems like everybody you see here in Cali is yapping on their phone while driving. It scares the f**k outta me.

While I have not had an accident in my Boxster *knocks on wood*, what are the thoughts of arguing for deminished value? Meaning that once a car like a Porsche is wrecked for whatever reason - most buyers are either going to stay away from it completely or want the price reduced.

I know that everytime I have looked for one of my Porsches - I have always excluded ones that have had been in an accident.

I think in addition to the cell phone phenonemon(I mean really, do you have to be talking with someone at all times?...)
I think that it's related to the "ME" attitude that everyone has, I'm first, I own the road, what are you thinking? I'm here so you better let me go.

so tiring, and it's going to get worse...

the other day there was a special on this, driving with cellphone, and driving with handsfree, and they both were wery bad conclusion that both of them are a bad idea. not that its news to us anyways, but just to show u that u should get off the phone while driving, or just simply pull over and talk, but who in their right mind wold wanna do that, god forbid we miss an episode of some useless tv show or something of that magnitude, phew
