Oooooo ....... I was afraid of that ........

Well, maybe there is a related field for you.

On second thought, maybe not, you may leave a loose gene laying around .....

Never mind the grumpy old man. You're big enough to admit errors so you will always learn from them.

You can help me work on my car anytime.

I drove to and from work today. Did not crash.

Funny story, I did genetically engineer some flies once... But it did not involve driving my FRS.

Yep, I saw that movie back in the late 1950's. You sure messed up that bit of genetic engineering (or was that electrical engineering ?) .......

OK, best we get back to NOT crashing our FR-Ss ........

Some slammed ricer Infiniti darted towards me from left trying to cross 2 lanes from an intersection with a stop sign in front of him, and a green light in front of me (right away). The ingredients for a T-bone steak. But thankfully the driver slammed on brakes in the middle of the lane left of me. Talk about being moments away from having a bad night because of some schmuck decided to play the luck card at an intersection.

In fact, now that I recall, earlier that night a truck did exactly the SAME THING. Shot out from a stop sign across 2 southbound lanes to merge into northbound traffic. Though, the driver was about 2 cars worth of space in front of me by the time I got to where he merged at. Had I been going a little bit faster... Would've been ingredients for disaster.

Almost the same thing happened to me yesterday.. Saw my life flash in front of my eyes. Was turning left onto Bloor from Clinton downtown and some truck**** was going at least 70 on Bloor. Couldn't see him until I was in the middle of the turn and he was speeding towards my driver side door. If I had slammed the brakes I don't think he would have been able to stop or dodge (no pun intended) in time, luckily my trc was off so I was able to floor it and slide around him. No crash, pants soiled, all is well.

Happy driving all!

Made another Dragon run yesterday and did not crash. Going west to east was great no traffic but coming back got stuck behind 3 slow cruisers. https://xtremesportsphotography.phot...po=246&pc=1983

Drove by the Chehoah dam, aka Fugitive dam, and snapped some pics. Dam was the one used in the movie The Fugitive. Tunnel scene was filmed in Chicago. The dam has no tunnels. Dummies, quite obvious, were used for the plunge instead of stunt men.

Drove back from the gym last night. Turn right light went green, guy next to me drove straight forward. Next two guy behind him followed with a slight stagger. They almost hit a guy who had a green light, they drove around him and went on with their life. I did not crash. He was on his phone so he e probably heard me rev up when I accelerated to take my turn and assumed it was green. I did not crash.

Drove my FRS today and people have gone full F'ing potato. I do not have the words to describe the driving atrocities I saw today. Almost crashed twice in the span of 1.5 seconds because one idiot in a Prius forgot what right of way was, another in a Civic thought he'd be cool and follow the Prius, and a third idiot decided that making a left into the left lane of ONCOMING traffic was a perfectly good solution for their other mistake of trying to make a left across 2 lanes of rush hour traffic. Arrrrrrgh.

I am seriously wondering if I ran a red light or something, because I can't actually believe people are that stupid.
I need a dash cam. /EndRant

Did not crash, but found out my ABS works.
