    i do this everytime i come off the road for hometime etc. I make wider turns, reach for the jake brake, gear shift etc. I drive a bronco at home, it is by no means a small vehicle but i sure feel like i am sitting on the floor lol. I dont like being the small one on the road lol.

    Well; everyone has seen that truck going down the road with the turn signal on. Today it was me in a 4 wheeler.:biggrin_2554: Every stinking time I turned I turned off the turn signal or thought I did. What I did was turn it on the other way after it had cancled after the turn.:biggrin_25523:

    I have been driving the little Nissan for the past 3 days... got in the Buick... and immediately reached for the clutch and gearshift.... for some reason, it didn't work too well?

    I had the "SLOW DOWN!" thing, forgetting that the minivan can slow down way faster.....

    I was thinking about mounting a set of tractor and trailer brake knobs in my Continental... but I may not. I may release the tractor brake for a tug test and wrinkle my neighbor's Lexus when the trailer brakes fail!

    Whew been ahwile since Ive been here THIS place is BUSY!! WOW!!

    Anyways..I still never use the interior rearview mirror (even after 5 years now):biggrin_2554:
    ,Sometimes (used to do ths ALL the darn time) still reach for the brake knobs when Im getting ready to get out AND almost pulled into weigh stations a few times justa daydreaming.

    Also, after running local for several years I swear my pickup would start to slow when I neared the exit for the home terminal I used to take everyday.:biggrin_2556:

    On a kinda good thing note...I STILL look over EVERY truck I pass for anything visually wrong with it like I used too when driving. Dont know how much good it does now cause I dont even have a CB in the pickup LOLOL... I DID flag a driver down one day though that had his trailer airlines occasionally dragging on the road and help him tie em up outta the way.Saved that guy a little hassle later on.

    62, You're sure right...Old habits are INDEED hard to break!! Once a driver..always a driver I reckon:biggrin_2556::biggrin_25525:

    Ill try and be around a bit more now, Blu:biggrin_25520:
