    I used to work with a guy who claimed he bought cheap large marshmallows and that they simulated golf balls when chucked out the window!

    Another guy suggested spare change. Yikes.

    I drive in the right lane, at the speed limit, and constantly am tailgated. I haul placarded hazmat im a tanker. They're 10 feet from that placard looking right at them and they still tail gate because that 1 or 2 mph faster they are means all the world.
    I'm actually tailgated more running 70 than I am at 65. I also don't brake check, as much as the thought has occurred to me. I just drop the speed down slow, until they go around me, usually running their mouth on the cb or giving me one finger salute

    I would have liked to have read that story... were it not for the G...dm FULL SCREEN POPUP!

    #### I hate that ####.

    Whoever thinks it's a good idea to incorporate into a website should be hit in the face with a ball peen hammer and then made to watch a commercial for cat tampons.

    I'm going back there to leave some rather wordy '404' comments to the webmaster.

    You tell 'em. If they don't stop those ads you're not giving them anymore or your hard earned...um, never mind.

    I agree, those suck but it's a small price to pay.

    btw, I didn't get a pop up there.

    A 404 comment... that's where you fill up their error log with BS.

    Wipe out everything after the ...com/and.then.fill.it.up.with.whatever.comes.to.your.mind.html

    Then keep refreshing the page for thirty minutes or until your finger gets tired....
