On my way home today, I was coming up to a light that the. ahem,
traffic engineers just redid.  As you can expect, the light went from
well designed to crap.  Oh, and they lowered the speed limit.
Anyhow, there is a sloth driver ahead of me, doing under the speed

for an indeterminate period of time by Hurricane Katrina, I'm

Why do car manufacturers insist on watering down their brand?  Owning
a Mercedes, Porsche, or BMW used to mean something.  It used to mean
that you were in an elite class of people who were successful enough
to own a top of the line machine.  The cost of these cars put them

Had to stop by a job site this AM before work to swap out some parts;
saw something I hadn't seen before.  A little van, looking more than

I was in my commerical truck, parked in a yellow zone, and the SF DPT
cops were tagging regular vehicles parked in the yellow zones.  The tow

That is $24,000 Million Dollars after all expenses & raises to CEO etc.is

good to boycott any Exxon-Mobil product..... Just don't ...

The driver of a newish Toyota Sequoia was in the left lane of a
secondary roadway.  As it neared the intersection, the Toyota driver
pulled in front of me as I was entering the right turn lane.  This
intersection was a No Turn On Red.  The light was green, but instead of

I must be crazy, but hear this out:
Whenever I'm the lead car in the left-turn-only lane(Governed by a
4-element traffic light: red, caution, green, left arrow) the light
almost ALWAYS goes to straight green(no arrow).  I have to wait for the

This comes from the KTLA Morning News (check ktla.com later in the
morning, they will FOR SURE put this video up there; they caught the
entire crash on tape). Apparently a Sloth pulled out in front of an
LAPD officer who was in pursuit of a stolen pickup truck. The officer

endangerment. Book him!!

It's doing 140mph but only 4000rpm. When I'm at that speed, my
car is at 6000rpm. But then again, my redline is 7000 and this car's
