    Wore is still around every now and again and @1951 ford and @sawmill would be nice to see them back for sure. I gathered a lot of useful info from those guys and definitely enjoyed chatting with ‘em.

    I'd take NYC over a lot of other east coast cities. Manhattan is deff the easiest to get around in. Best place to learn to drive. You'll be a pro or it'll eat you and spit you out

    You have to forget about being a defensive driver and become offensive…

    And don't hesitate because every car and truck will take advantage of you. My very 1st run with a trainer we got lost on the side streets of queens trying to figure out how to get on the other side of the parkway Lol. My hands were sore from death gripping the wheel so hard

    about 7 years ago I hauled parts of this plant from MI to NY, wedsnday I loaded parts of it from NY to VA. They bought the plant without getting the permits to run the scrap processing facility. Sold to another scrap facility in VA.

    I don't mean to brag, but I just switched the Minnesota plates on my trailer for my own personal Texas plates. All it took was $25k, three hours at the DMV, and an impact driver.

    That’s exactly what I meant, I was concerned that some might not understand what driving offensively would mean but in some cases leaving yourself a “safety space” just makes room for someone else to cut you off…

    LOL, I think you mean EVERY case. Don't you love driving in a traffic jam, just trying to hold high range, but you can't because every car on the road thinks that gap means they've got a faster lane?

    Oh but how satisfying it is when you get next to the ONE four wheeler on the planet who “gets it” and does the same thing in the lane next to you. It’s so rare but when it happens it’s like, “Wow I can sleep good tonight knowing I made a difference in the world.”
