Those old GL wagons are sweet! I've always wanted to get one with the 4WD, put a 2.2 or 2.5 in it, Forester struts, big tires and go wheeling.

I flash to ask a slower driver to move over so I can pass on the left. An old habit left over from when passing on the right was illegal. I did flash someone who passed me on the right of an off ramp as I exited in my dump truck. He slowed to a stop seemingly want to have some words. I now carry a hammer with a wrist strap.
Curious. How much time do you save by taking that risk?Quote:

Yeah, almost 2 hours, EACH GODDAMN WAY.
The choices are 10 car blind pass or being stuck behind a boat going 40mph for 120 miles? There's a passing opportunity every 10 miles or less by memory. But I do like your admitting to TGR math where 1.3 hrs = 2hrs. Fuckstick. Maybe you, commonlaw and kied could form a special-ed drivers training school.Quote:

Yes, there are some passing opportunities, but when you're stacked 10 deep, and only 3 cars pass in the 4 lane area, you pass on the two lane.Quote:

Some? Some? And you are patronizing me? How many fucking boats are there ever going 40 mph (OR EVEN THE FUCKING 55MPH livski MENTIONED) on 395? Answer: none. Fuckstick.Quote:

Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus

passing cars?!?! OMG! YOU'RE GONNA DIE!
Das Cunt is a fucking pussy. no pun intended.
This pwnage from a professional driver with firsthand knowledge of Will's driving habits :biggrin: You go, JQuote:

Through Bakersfield,
Listening to gospel music on the coloured radio station,
And the preacher said: “You know you always have the lord by your side”
And I was so pleased to be informed of this
That I ran twenty red lights in his honour,
Thank you Jesus, thank you lord
That's awesome! May as well throw Audi's Rear blinding light in this thread.Quote:

mtngrl...I feel like an idiot for flashing high beams all these years when it should've just been headlights. I'll be changing that from here on out.
LOL - a professional driver who admittedly drives like a grandma. A safe and courteous grandma, but a grandma nonetheless. J, you really don't want to go down this road.
And still, I'm not talking about "scary" passing, whatever that is. Heck, I had someone do this to me the other day on a 4-lane freeway (2 lanes each direction). They were in the right lane in an old pickup full of junk doing like 50 mph, which is just fine. I went by them in the left lane @ 65 and they started flashing their lights. WTF? This is the kind of thing I'm baffled by.
@ Dasblunt - yes, yes I am admittedly clueless about why people flash their headlights after being passed. As I've said repeatedly, I can't figure it out though I believe Iceman and Liv2ski have it right. It's probably indignation at some kind of perceived insult, as if the fact that someone wants to drive faster than them means the person driving faster is WRONG and must be PUNISHED. Punished by flashing headlights, which still makes no sense. Can you explain this to me please? Maybe you could, but that big wad of smug up your ass has the only orifice you possess that's ever emitted a recognizable noise so choked up you can't clearly articulate your superior knowledge to an idiotic peon like myself. Please, carry on professor. And when does your line of cologne come out?

It's a driving thread on TGR. You can either pass 10 cars going 100+mph or you are driving like a grandparent. And when you get pulled over, you just use Dan Samas. And if you've multiple accidents where you either rear end someone or someone rear ends you in a couple years, it's because everyone else on the road is an idiot.Quote:
