You scared the crap out of me until I realized what you were quoting!

I did get a bit squirrely on the road to school today - last night's snow was a pleasant surprise.

I was supposed to go to Windsor today and heard the 401 west of London was at a crawl so I said crew it and went to Woodstock instead. My call when I go where though so that makes it easy.

Woops. Just diving back into the conversation. Dealing with overly aggressive drivers in the Dallas/Fort Worth area as usual the last few days and I may have made a mistake. I got a little aggressive myself and downshifted to pass a couple of pickups who were weaving from lane to lane with no signals. Managed to get past them, no problem, but...

missed my exit. Had to turn around. Still no crash. Just thought I'd update everyone.

I drove my FR-S today. Watched a type-A SUV driver blatantly cut off 2 people within 15 seconds of each other as he made his way across 3 lanes of traffic. This was not an "almost." They both had to swerve and brake hard to avoid him.

Still, did not crash.

I drove up to the grocery store today.

Passed a motorized scooter on the way out of the subdivision; beat an old man, off the line, driving a Buick, at the first light; screamed past a soccer mom in a mini-van, as she was talking on her cell phone; drifted into my driveway ....... because I almost missed it......

Even if you had, I'm sure you wouldn't have cried over it

...because there's no sense in that.

Drove my FRS today, almost got side swiped going 10 mph 3 separate times.

How the hell can people live in a location that rains all the time yet panic when the ground is wet???

Trust me steve you have it easy, I used to think like you when I was living by edmond/Lynnwood..... Then I move to vegas.......where ppl drives around 35 miles on the highway when it rains.

Then again I almost drift my way up the highway merge ramp when it was raining once.

It was raining when I headed across the city a couple of times. When you are passing everybody at double their speed and you are driving a Fiat you know they have slowed down! At first was baffled why everybody was going so slow and then it clicked in.
