So on my way to work this morning I am behind this woman in an
all wheel drive Toyota mini-van (really need four wheel drive here, last snowfall was in 1977). She had W'04 and Bush/Cheney stickers in back and a really obnoxious "God bless the United States of America" sticker on her driver's side window. She changed lanes in front of me FIVE times without signalling any of them. It was all I could do to keep from getting out of my car and telling her what I thought of her "faith-based lane changes." Of course it's Florida so she could have shot me. Where do these people come from?

1. "Faith-based lane changes" ... ROFLMAO!
Thanks for my first big belly laugh of the day! You better put a trade mark on that line quick because I fully intend to steal that one. :rofl:

3. Yesterday a monster car was driving on the lane next to us
the thing was, it never ended. It was the size of 3 or 4 SUVs, sort of a limousine on testosterone.

When it finally turned, we saw that on the rear was a banner: land yacht. Cute. Wonder how it does in tight spots, as opposed to new, wide roads in the burbs.

12. There is one in Portland, Oregon
And it is ugly, and would make an interesting cubicle shaped steel paperweight. If you could fit it into the car compactor that is.

6. Probably Massachusetts
It's the unwritten rule up here to never use your turn signals.

8. Hey, I'm in Mass, and I use my turn signals :)
Even more unusual is that I'm FROM California and I use 'em, how freaky is that? :)

14. Hey, we use our turn signals in California
Hey, we use our turn signals in California. We signal right and when all the traffic moves right to cut off our lane change we move to the left, just as we intended!
