Observation of the day

[corncobs]

My observation for the day I like my car way too much.

 

With an old beater car the BMW driver a$$ would have probably spun around after hitting my front right bumper trying to squeeze into the gap in front of me which was about as big as his car and twice as big has his ego.

 

Besides that fact it was in a construction zone and him driving like a maniac and not driving any faster after his stunt.

Wait did you get hit by an IdIoT?

[corncobs]

No but it was very close. 12-16" @ 55 MPH is a bit too close for comfort.

Glad you have fast reflexes and are okay. With all the driving you've done in different countries makes you a good driver in different conditions too. Well done.

Thank you! Usually I can anticipate when others are about to doing something stupid which comes from driving a lot like you said.

This time I couldn't believe that this guy actually came back into my lane.

 

I think a lot of us are in the same boat when it comes to stuff like this and we can thank the relaxing attitude of our FFHs for it.

I'm older and have better insurance. :) Oops did I hit your car. :shift:

 

 

Observation of the day, when its 80* at 8 AM and you sweat the moment you walk out the door, it will be a hot miserable day.

 

 

I'm staying in my workshop today and work on my planes. Car is at the dealer getting its vitals done. Asked to look into the AC update where you can actually turn the compressor off when you press the ac button.

Well so much for the workshop, had to work 11 AM to 4 PM today, so got no shop time in. :(

 

Observation #2 of today

 

Say hashtag this and hashtag that just makes you sound stupid.

 

Ford has a new commercial, loaded with hashtag, sounds SO stupid.

I drive to work each morning in the carpool lane, usually at 60-65mph using ACC. The thing that gets me is how the a**hole behind me blinks his lights at me if I let more than 5 feet open up between myself and the car in front of me. Most of the time, I don't see another person in their car, meaning, they don't belong in that lane anyway. My favorite thing is when they get pulled over buy a cop car that is hiding around a blind shoulder!

Lightning striking across the road makes the house shake.

I agree the last 24h have been quite interesting including tornado sirens last night at 1:45am.

I hope you guys are alright out there.

Observation of the day : the front seats really are uncomfortable when compared to the chevrolet

[Easy Rider]

Well that likely varies a LOT depending on what model you are talking about.

The seats in my Fusion Hybrid are MUCH better than the Chevy Malibu that I traded in......and they weren't really bad either.
