Do you do a few things considered 'outside the law' or a 'little dangerous' or 'unacceptable'
because you think you might die soon, or that society might collapse and you have nothing to lose by being a complete lawless freak? And that you might just want to 'get away' with 'one last stunt'?

Not me, per se, but just wondering about you all...

1. I've never broken a law. Ever.
I am the epitome of legally pure.

3. No, I do 'em because that's the way I've always lived my life
I've never been exactly conventional.

4. It's a little..

....difficult to discuss online. I think there is a population that has always been on the "outside" of society in some fashion or other. Whether they live within the law or outside of it depends more on the times and where you draw the line perhaps.

51. Actually, I've been thinking about this alot...

American lore is steeped in admiration for the anti-hero. I grew up hearing stories about relatives and people in the local community doing seemingly outrageous stuff that many people I tell seem to be shocked about. Do you know what I mean?? Think Appalachia, and rural America.

9. Nobody comment about my driving.
:rofl:

No, seriously, I studiously follow all laws. I drive the speed limit at all times. In fact, even my mattress tags are intact, because I take my reputation as a seller of fine steel thoroughfares over water quite seriously. Now if you'll follow me, I'd like to show you pictures of a lovely orange beauty, nearly a century old but exquisitely kept, that I think you'll absolutely love.

And if Oedi says anything about my driving, tell him I'll leave him at Walgreens next time.

22. I passed it on the first try. Actually I had a nearly perfect score.
Then I moved from the driving school's little Toyota Shitbox to my car and discovered that I really like that noise the engine makes when you stomp on the gas.

The rest, as they say, was history.

Didn't really have the money when I was a teenager, then as an adult I moved to an area where I didn't especially need a car, so I spent my money on other things.
