  • Almost got hit this morning...

    As usual, the winter brings out all the idiots. But, this guy was special.

    I'm sitting at a traffic light, not too far from work, just waiting for the light to change. Some moron in a small, black Chevy SUV is attempting to make a left turn. He's coming from my right, and is going a bit too fast. Anyone want to guess what happened?

    This tool, overcooked it a bit, hit a patch of ice in the middle of the intersection, and is now about to hit me with the side of his car At least I should be thankful that he corrected the problem. However, once again...he overdid thing, slid the other way, and promptly nailed the curb. Didn't stall out, but somehow managed to keep the vehicle on the road. Things didn't end there though--the cop behind me wasn't amused by his antics, flipped the blues on, and pulled him over

      Oh, I'd be quite surprised if the cop was just checking to ensure he was ok.

      If you so adequately prove that you're not set to drive in the conditions you're trying to drive in, you're getting cited for it.

        That's exactly what I hope happens. Too many "Fast & the Furious" idiots attempting to drift around town as of late. Quite a few people, myself included, are tired of their antics. At least this guy didn't hurt anyone--not everyone is so lucky--maybe he'll get a clue because of the traffic fine. Somehow, I doubt it

          Donuts (or 'cookies', if you are of a heathenish persuasion) are for huge-ass empty fields or parking lots-- NOT the MIDDLE OF THE ROAD!
