| WTH Is _Wrong_With People? | 23 Jul 2005 00:26 GMT | 21 |
Driving the right lane tonight (yeah, I know, hard to believe) and the other guy comes up like he's going to pass, and pulls even and slows to match my speed. Goes on like that for a couple miles. I finally get fed up with it, as other cars are accumulating behind, and I hate to ...

| Yet another DUH! | 22 Jul 2005 16:48 GMT | 60 |
On cell phone use and driving, it is painfully obvious that the conversation is the distraction, so hands-free kits do NOTHING to improve safety. This is like the second study released in a month or so that confirms it. Note I don't want more laws banning cell use while driving ...

| It just gets crazier - Now it's toaster ovens in your car | 22 Jul 2005 15:30 GMT | 19 |
All sorts of gadgets to distract you from the serious business of driving that 4000 pound hunk of steel at 60 mph. Oh well - if you lose control and plow into a bus and kill 20 kids, we'll just call it an accident.

| Do you back into your driveway? | 22 Jul 2005 06:44 GMT | 92 |
I wanted to get some opinions about my behavior. I recently moved into a house (I'm house-sitting for a few years) and I have never had my own driveway before this move. I find myself always backing into the driveway now when I park, so when

Just curious about something. I've been trying to find a set of replacment amber 7440 bulbs for the front and rear turn signals on my 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX. I don't need them right now, but I keep several spare bulbs in a kit in my

As Time magazine reported last week, not only are gas prices making them a bad choice, but recent accident data out of Washington (DOT) last week showed that SUV occupants are 11% more likely to die in crashes than the people in cars.

Travelling about 10 over (60 in a 50) coming over a hill on a 4 lane road (2 each way, double yellow between them). Very few cars out last night at 7pm oddly enough. Radar goes off, hit the brakes as the cop passes me the other way. I
