    I can’t help but look at all of his threads. Every time he starts one, it just reinforces in my mind, how ignorant it’s possible to be, and still own a CDL. And, there is humor in all of them! That being said, I think I’d rather have @BigR and @Last Call back in exchange for this one

    It's playing out like a tedious 4 hour soap opera.

    I can't help myself.
    I remember a movie where the driver was talking to the passenger and says,
    "1st rule of italian motor racing is," (breaks off mirror and throws it,)
    "What's behind you - doesn't matter!"

    Anytime I was down in that area I just stopped at the 374. Way better than any Pilot, at least back in 2015-2016 it was.
     
    Kyle G., Speedy356 and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

    I don't remember BigR, but I definitely miss Last Call!

    As for expedite_it, I love his threads, and I hope he never goes away. Whatever his motives may be, he is good at stirring the pot and making for a lively conversation. He has developed a sort of cult following on TTR, and it's like all of us on his ignore list are part of our own little club. I love TTR, the staff does a great job, but I think we need this little bit of foolery every once in awhile, and expedite_it never fails to deliver!
