Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / December 2007CNN: Driving-while-grooming among pet peeves
http://www.cnn.com/2007/LIVING/wayoflife/12/03/driver.pet.peeves/index.html > Doesn't life seem more dangerous when you don't check the optional insurance boxes on a rental car contract? Last week I watched in horror from the driver's seat of my totally uninsured, shoestring-budget rental car as the rear quarter panel of a Crown Victoria lazily drifted almost to the skin of my precious rental's fender at 65 mph on Florida's Turnpike. > > The near-sighted menace behind the wheel, a look-alike of the 'Mr. Magoo' cartoon character, forgot to use his turn signal and somehow couldn't tell that he was about to crumple my rental car with half my worldly possessions in it, and reduce my modest writer's lifestyle to Cup o' Noodles and cardboard-box living for a while. > http://www.cnn.com/2007/LIVING/wayoflife/12/03/driver.pet.peeves/inde... > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > - Show quoted text - There is a time and place for everything. I can thnk of roads where the traffic is so light, or was when I first tried it in the early 1970s, one could do a complete sponge-bath in safety, after the shave and haircut.

(To mis-quote Bird.) Not to mention a complete change of clothing while driving. Done once in the '80s (under Fed 55), but quite tricky. Took about ten miles to pull it off. Older, wiser and faster now.

Once when I was a front seat passenger in a full size van, I saw a woman giving her boyfriend a blow job as we were driving west along I76 a few miles outside of Philadelphia. This was broad daylight and the traffic was moving at a pretty fast pace and there were a lot of cars on the road, but the smile on that guy's face was unmistakable! >Once when I was a front seat passenger in a full size van, I saw a woman >giving her boyfriend a blow job as we were driving west along I76 a few >miles outside of Philadelphia.

On a date as a teen, my girlfriend and I were on our way somewhere when we came to a rail road crossing while the train was crossing it. I stopped the car, she reached over, unzipped, and down she went. I don't really remember how much time passed, but I know when it was over, I looked in the rear view mirror, and the two guys in the car behind us were smiling real big and holding up their thumbs. :-) -- Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people. - Admiral Hyman Rickover, U.S. Navy >> >http://www.cnn.com/2007/LIVING/wayoflife/12/03/driver.pet.peeves/inde... >> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >in the '80s (under Fed 55), but quite tricky.
