One road trip from a flat lander to mountain country will wear through brakes in a hurry.

You don't follow the "3 second rule"?

We are supposed to, but the average person uses the 3' rule instead, "if I can still see your license plate I'm not close enough" X_x

That's how we do it down here, too. Well, that's how all those fucking maniacs do it. I'm a good driver.

Everyone but me is a shitty driver.

If you drive fast enough, it's just like the other cars aren't moving at all. It's so much easier to dodge stationary obsticles.

The lowest priced house in the area is about 23000$ ... for a 2 bedroom bi-level home.

Or roughly the same price as a mid-size car.

I could find that in Boonville if I wanted flood damaged river front property.

I say this every damn day as well. Green means go you stupid dumbfucks. It's not sit on your ass and act lke a fuck hole time. And don't go 30 in a 50 zone. When that semi passes you up, that means you're a god damn zombie!

Best way to avoid getting pulled over? Speed along side a semi that's going just as fast in the left lane. The cop will go right past you straight for the truck.

I like sticking by speeders. My dad calls them mine sweepers.

The recent bummer sticker I saw sums up some of my road rage:

"It's a fucking car not a fucking phone booth!"

If I had a nickel for every time I nearly got killed by those scuzzlefucks, I'll be a rich many times over.

To veer slightly back on topic, this story is getting way too much press, I think.

It was on the local news last night. That I don't have a big problem with, since it's one of those human interest stories they can fit in right before sports.

However, it appeared on the front page of today's local paper. A story like this has to be buried to page 8 at best.

And it's not like it went from paper clip to house. I was a huge series of trades apparently. So you duped a lot of people into seemingly reasonable trades, good for you. But I don't think this ought to make national news.

Driving anywhere in Canada is like participating in a Kind Old Lady Parade compared to driving into L.A.

Does this thread stretch out horizontally for anyone else?

Yeah, I think it's the url of Kisai's quote in faub's post.

Kisai broke it, I think.

The worst trade that I ever witnessed was a long time ago. Back when Pokemon cards first came out.

My pal, name was Ken, bought a pack, his first one and obtained the legendary (back then) Charizard card. Holographic, first edition. I never had anything like that, closest was 1st ed holo Gyrados.

Anyway, we're at lunch right, and before I could say anything he trades the card to some random dude for less then a dollar because he was short the cash to buy a new pack. Oh man, it hurts every time I recall this story.

To this day I still haven't let that go.
