Hey everyone, first time poster, long time lurker.
All my traffic headaches stopped when I bought my RAM pickup and lifted it and put 37" tires on it. You sit above the traffic cranking the tunes and all your worries go away. The people below you are cutting in and out of lanes and getting pissed. I just laugh sitting in my leather couch cruzin' to work.
There's a saying that you should own a convertable car at least once in you life. I also think you should own a lifted truck once in your life.
So I went and did both and bought a '73 Ford Bronco and lifted it. All you gotta' do i put the top and the worries go away.
Oh and by the way my boat is a Barefoot Sanger with a weekwacker on the back.

If you have a weak wacker then you belong down in BenchRacers with the whackerboyz.
Seriously, welcome to the boards.

Welcome to ***boat, Caljamr.
We need more people of your obvious intellect and sophistication to bring a little class to this joint. http://www2.***boat.com/ubb/icons/icon14.gif

I HATE COMMUTING!
The level of selfishness and rudeness in America is increasing at ASTOUNDING rates. I see this rudeness daily on my 100+ mile a day commute.
Unfortunately you aren't even safe inside your car. Stupid, unsafe drivers have always been a part of American roads. Today however, the roads are less safe as a result of three main groups of people:
OLDER DRIVERS: Last year, elderly drivers surpassed teens as the number one cause of traffic accidents in America. I have always said we should start testing citizensÂ’ driving abilities annually once they pass the age of 60. This will never happen because old people vote more than anyone and our politicians are gutless!!!!!
SELF-ABSORBED SELFISH DRIVERS: Too many people today are far more concerned about their own lives than what they are doing behing the wheel, which causes countless risky scenarios on the road. I know that all of us have been cut-off by some driver who doesnÂ’t look in his blind spot, but it seems to be happening more and more these days.
What about these assholes that drive 50 in the fast lane of the freeway while talking on their cell phones, talking to their passengers, yelling at their kids in the back seat, or just daydreaming? They are so self-involved and rude, that they fail to notice that they are in the fast lane and that there are 20 of us behind them trying to get by.
(OR THE BITCHES THAT drive to the mall to hold parking spots 3 rows away while their poor pitiful "yes dear" of a husband shakes in his shoes afraid to defy her RUDENESS AND IGNORANCE also fall in this category)
THE “I’LL BE DAMNED CROWD:” These are my favorite idiots on the road. “I’ll be damned if I’m going to get over in the other lane…let this person wait! What’s her hurry,” these people will think.
HereÂ’s a news flash for you people; some of us have exciting lives (well sometimes anyway) waiting for us at our destinations and we donÂ’t feel like wasting our lives with you lame asses on the road! Not only that, some of us know how to safely drive at or slightly above the speed limit, and beside that, itÂ’s the damn law for slow traffic to move to the right, so DO IT!
Driving, like everything else in this stupid society of ours is becoming more and more of a pain in the ass! I've decided I can avoid a lot of stupid people by using the Internet to do my shopping, but I am not sure how to avoid the roads on my way to work! Guess itÂ’s time to invest in a helicopter. No, I am not the perfect driver either but I'm also not a complete dumbass as soon as my ass hits the drivers seat.
Thanks for letting me vent and saving me a heart attack today. :cry: :squiggle:
seems like it's time for you to retire from where you work...maybe you'll win big in Vegas and buy that Marina...or better yet...I'll win big in Vegas and you could "work" for me

Did I say "weekwacker", i'm sure some of you found that funny.
Thanks for the welcome.

It's all about how you look at it...when I'm in the car nobody can harass or bitch at me, kinda like when you're sittin on the shitter reading Powerboat but the car has a CD player so I get to chill and listen to tunes as well
I used to drive old, tempermental vehicles so being in one that can idle for 5 min without overheating is a big enough treat for me
Am I seriously the only one who takes alternate routes to work/school just to check stuff out and enjoy the drive?

I would imagine you are not in your car for 4 hours a day, 5 days a week? I've been driving this for almost 8 years now and Im past the "enjoy the drive" stage. And I have a scenic drive already, but Im usually running late so I dont have time to take another route.....even if there were one available.
In all fairness and in sake of my conscience, I have to let you guys know that I may have spoke too soon yesterday. During my travel to work this morning I came to the stop sign at a very dangerous intersection where it crosses a major highway. There is nothing but a red flashing light as a warning of cross traffic. Today I pulled up to the stop and looked "around" the truck that was turning right and didnt see any traffic either way. I was running late, and pulled out onto the highway. I pulled directly in front of a Monte Carlo and I estimate his speed to be well over 70mph. I did not even see him as he was going so fast and was in the blind spot behind the other truck. It was very close and scared the holy hell out of me. Im normally extremely careful at this intersection but today my lack of attention could have cost the life of that driver and my own.
Needless to say I have been humbled by my own criticism.

If it makes you feel any better, my brother in law lives in Atlanta. He commutes 1.5 hrs each way. I think it's only a 20 mile drive though. It only takes me 1.5 hrs to drive from Chattanooga to Atlanta

T to take it a step further what about inside stores, supermarket, target wherever, once you "finally" reach your destination and encounter "shopping cart boneheads" who can't even navigate down an isle at over .2 mph and sit there gazing around like they're the only friggin person in the friggin store mid isle so no one can get by... move the friggin cart you lardass idiot i didn't come here to spend the day.. holyshit wheres my meds. .. :burningm:
