I've gotten a few tickets over the years, but I've never had an accident, I attribute that to a) dumb luck and b) I've never forgotten Mark's first law of driving: ALWAYS assume the other guy is a complete idiot!

When you mention such things like tickets/accidents/etc. you MUST knock on wood or a similar material (plywood/particle board/wood veneer) not too long after making such a comment... :)
Hahaha, here we have the same custom, it's believed that knocking on wood prevents the devil from hearing you.
p.s. Also if there's no other wood around, you can always knock on your head :hehe:.
;)
Finally got another hard drive today. Yay! Now I can resume downloading dramas.

Almost tipped my Durango in one neighborhood twice.....it was one coming in from the main street into the neighborhood street for #1. My friend told me to turn at like the last couple seconds. Then it was another sharp right right at after turning in.....breaked hard enough to turn...but everone in car had to shift weight to counter balance car....so us 5 kids was lucky there :beaten:
Another time....was racing my friend. He in his V6 van gunned off the line against me so i felt I had to put up something. FLoored like half way and was beating him. Got up to 81 mph with my little cousin in the back seat. Turn came up....breaked....and had to break again.......turn......got home and heard when i made that turn...my right rear tire was off the ground :beaten:
Same friend....was driving down the street to get to my house. Me in front. Think of Initial D anime and mountain course. Speed Limit is 30mph. I was going 65...70 and him going down 80mph or so. I can see his head lights coming near. I wanted to turn in and avoid a race around the blocks...but no....my friends tell me just go round the block. This is after we had Chevy's for dinner....my friend in the front...for sure I knew he was going to hurl after :hehe: :hehe: So I went. First turn was good for high speed. Off gas and went through at 60 mph....was inches away from hitting the sidewalk :beaten:
Next turn coming up speed limit says 15...Me at 35mph :beaten:
After that is a sharp right to get back into block for my house or so.
Took that at 30mph and my rear wheels lost traction.....did a mini drift or so.
Then my friend in the van...he gave up trying to catch me so the last turn i took it easy.
After that short run, got out of car and my friend in front seat hurled :victory:
You're a lot lot lot lot safer in BMW's car then riding with me in my Durango :victory:
dude, that is some crazy driving there...good thing you didn't turn it over.... :beaten: :sweat:

My mom gave me a different variation. "When the clock turns to 6pm, just think that all of the drivers in the road are DRUNK"

If that's the best pic (s)he has, then.... :shakehead: :hehe:
LOL! He has much better looks. I believe is somewhat goodlooking... only, not with this particular look. ;)
I'm guessing that's him dressed as some character. If anyone CHOSE to look like that... I'd be somewhat concerned. Dennis Rodman comes to mind. :sweat:
