Have you seen the size of the crickets there?

Watch for bee hives next to the roads too.

I haven't noticed - it rains so damn much here, we don't need any washer fluid -

I had the traction control come on making a left thru a yellow light this morning. I often forget how tail happy these cars are. Did not crash.

Again today, I slipped around a couple corners, and totally burned out just getting around someone. I don't think I'm being too heavy footed. I think the MPSS tires totally lose grip as you get to the wear indicators. Did not crash.

Yep, I'd retire those tires - they are wore out -

Don't buy dashcams

I have bought a dashcam. Arrived on Wednesday. I have not even installed it.
This happened on Thursday morning. I was standing on traffic light. A guy used me instead of brakes. Need a new bumper. Body looks ok.
Don't buy dashcam. Bad omen.

Sorry you crashed - wrong thread. Wait one, HE crashed, not YOU, so you're OK.

Ya in the right light it can look anything from gold to brown so I guess red isn't totally out of the question.

Does that mean I get to keep the T-Shirt? Never could find the clubhouse the FRS has no English lady voice emanating from Japanese dash to tell me where to go?
