car characteristics of bad drivers

[Ten Packs]

Well...... 27 years of "selling my soul to the company-store"....
(bet youre not old enough to know that song, or the singer :wink: )

We have had this argument many times before, Rev - yeah, "ya can stand yer ground", or "ya can take it up the butt, and then reap the rewards"....

Everyone gets to make that decision.




Looks pretty good from my point of view NOW, though I admit it didnt for a long time.
I guess that's what it's all about.


The last part of the equation is to get my WIFE'S RRSP well into the six-figure range... getting close. Then turn it into Annuities, so she can retire, too. Admittedly, this year hasn't been great (especially this WEEK! Sheee-it!) But it's done about 16% a year, since we started it.... not bad.)

I've loaded my sixteen tons, Ten Packs. I don't have it on CD, but Tennesse lives on a chunk of grooved vinyl around here someplace. With a voice like that, how could he not?

Nah-uh...I've told you before that i'm incapable of retiring. It's not a decision, and it's got nothing to do with money. I have a feeling you never figured out how to retire either...you don't seem really good at staring at the walls though, so...

I think the difference is in the definition of retired and work. Some people say I never worked enough, some say I work too much, others try to sell me weird little schemes so I can quit working and live in a mansion, or maybe a hog barn. I've never really been clear on that.

I've mostly done what I wanted and for the few years I tried to sell my soul to some corporate master for a few bucks and a new car I wasn't a whole lot of fun...or even human.

Fortunately I came to my senses and stopped. It was either that or throttle an innocent.

Whatever. I'll work until I die, Ten Packs. I just don't think that work requires a wage or a wage requires work. You can't retire if you you like the gig.

Rubber Neckers

DEF: "Rubber Necker" - a person who interrupts what they are doing just look at what is happening to someone else. The other incident or event usually has nothing to do with the Rubber Necker, but due to curiosity these Rubber Neckers have to interrupt (sometimes stops) what they are doing to look at the other event.

The best examples are the individuals who slow their car down to a crawl just because there is a police car stopped on the side of the highway with another private car. If you think these people are bad, what about those who slow their cars down on the highway to look at an incident on the far side of the incoming traffic?

I have spoken to many people (friends) about the concept of "Rubber Neckers" and none of them say they are one. Although, I see them in every city that I go to.

Re: RE: car characteristics o

I assume anybody in an SUV or a mini-van is a bad driver who has no idea what mirrors are for. I assume everybody else is a bad driver who doesn't believe that mirrors exist.

sadly i saw a young man killed last weekend when a SUV broadsided his small car in a intersection near my home.
everyone in the suv walked away. he didnt stand a chance.
the suv was going to fast. i beleve suv drivers feel like gods.allpowerful.
if it had of been a car he would of lived. suvs impact to high.
cars hit at waist height. suvs hit at chest or head height.
I read the death rate is X 8 with a suv
SUV's are the most selfish thing you can own. it shows that you dont care about your fellow humans. PLEASE PLEASE dont buy SUV's

If you have one hand on the wheel, and a cell phone in the other... I automatically assume you're a bad driver and NOT PAYING ATTENTION to boot.

I've almost been side-swiped or rear-ended so many times by people chatting on cell phones while driving.

Cell phones make wonderful paper weights. So do the people who use them.
