There was a time, not that long ago, when only teenagers drove like a bat out of hell. Now it's soccer moms, joe sixpack and people under 80 years old. Ban seatbelts and airbags. Bring back pointy dash knobs and stylish steering columns shaped like a spear.
The scariest part of Utah drivers is their lack of awareness.
I have driven plenty of places around the country where the drivers are more ‘wild’ or selfish but SLC takes the cake for drivers that maneuver without giving a fuck.
Adds some spice when it rains at night and the lane markings disappear.
I’ve driven a lot around the Midwest, CO front range, Utah and even 2 years in California; I-15 is the worst, no doubt.

Have you considered getting into the bumper sticker business? If so I'm interestedQuote:

I call it “mini van mania” and the whole Spanish fork to SLC is “the Mormon racetrack”. Fuckers must be passing someone on the right or left at all times. And just HEAVY on the brakes even on the freeway. So scary.Quote:

That driver has the answer for the “what snow tire should I buy” threads.Quote:

I'm crossing the street at a 4 way intersection, speed limit 25 mph, lady comes in going about 40 and tries to make a left. She gets sideways and slides in front of the dog and I, we'd have gotten tagged if we hadn't stopped and taken a few steps back. Lady angrily shakes her fist at me, backs up, makes the turn, immediately pulls into the driveway of the house on the corner, gets out, and screams at me not to stand in the middle of the road. I was so frazzled I just walked away, don't think I had ever seen someone drive that stupidly on snow. Clearly saving 5 seconds getting home is worth killing a pedestrian over...
Dog shit

Will consider. I walk by that house daily to walk the canine, I'm sure she recognized me, or will from now on. On the plus side, the dog takes really nasty shits and even when doing my best cleaning is approximate at best. I'll probably be less motivated to do my best when she gets after it in that particular yard.Quote:

Then slow down, shit for brains.
I think that's how you get to have some many Mormon kids... :fmicon:Quote:

Yep. There is a dude in Utah who wanted to be mummified and preserved in a pyramid.
Some people achieve their dreams in life in the afterlife. Now he is dead, and has been mummified, and is in a pyramid.

We do hit up 9 line jumps from time to time, but i had not approached 9 line from this direction before. I had no idea it was there until my wife spotted it after dropping the dogs off at the sitters. We researched it, and it's funny, dude started his own religion etc all to be able to be mummified and buried in a pyramid.
I hate to see you disappointed. The guy was my insurance agent.Quote:

They talk about antennas on the peaks around SLC, with a reference to the monoliths from 2020.
ive heard rumors that those are solar powered crypto relays.
