Don't Forget Your Neck Brace!

I hope that you fully recover from this latest accident. Between people smoking, trying to use a phone, eating or drinking in their car, half the people I see driving

I find it interesting that a group of sports car drivers are the ones complaining about how others drive... what a world.

They should be upset about us! We're supposed to be the "unsafe" drivers, not the family sedan with 2 toddlers in car seats!!

Thinking about what you wrote above and driving my own Z for about 5 months. I think I'm actually a more cautious driver now. Translation - everyone else on the road is a potential enemy of my car

Dear god glad you are okay! I am crying for the z being down though... accidents happen BUT that is no accident, texting and driving is a big problem especially in women.

i wouldn't say it's just women.

cab drivers.

old drivers.

young drivers.

middle aged drivers.

essentially everyone is guilty of getting distracted one way or another.

Can't figure that last one out... the corolla's motor just makes a funny noise, but doesn't get anywhere any faster.

Lol on a more serious note, this car..... bleh.
I wouldn't be able to help... I have 1-2-3-4-5-6 lol.. Never was good at math when they started sticking letters into the damn equations

She did not speak English and had no ID or driver's license or insurance, yet she insisted that I was at fault
I work for State Farm Insurance out in California and just..... wow..
Just FYI in the insurance industry, put it this way, If the front of your car hits any part of the back or sides of any other persons car, guaranteed your at least rated Principally At-Fault, if not At-Fault.

Oh sweet irony. I think its cause us drivers with the sports cars actually pay for the nicer car and pay the real money for something and also understand the fact that this machine has some real power and torque under those back two wheels. All those ricers you see racing around in Hondas, Subarus, Scions, etc... all have to feel they need to go fast and blare that fart horn they call an exhaust system. Not only that I have a theory on the behavior psychology of those people racing in the ricers. Maybe the feel they need to take off fast and race around against regular cars all the time cause they know if I pulled up that it would a completely different look on their face. (not stating that I street race, actually the complete opposite, Ill sit there and laugh at the person, and if they really want to race and they are talking, I'll have them follow me to a track. They usually end up turning eventually on the way there... )

Here's a sign of the times:
I had my annual physical exam this morning. I've previously had a few docs ask me if I wear my seat belt. Routine. The one today not only asked that but if I text or use Facebook while driving.

Dant, sorry for your experience. But glad it wasn't worse.

Could have been worse. Doc now might ask if you're a gun owner these days.

LOL!

Not around here--it's a given. A local sheriff recently tried to buy an armored vehicle from military surplus because "every resident has at least a shotgun and a hunting rifle." If you don't have at least a closet-full of guns, you're considered a commie pacifist and to be at an extreme disadvantage
