'Space, they had that for trucks at one point. But they were programmed to not show obsenities. You could say "thank you" or "please" or something to that nature. I only saw the advertisements, I have never personally seen one on the road... yet. Sounds expensive for right now. Plus the way trucks get backed into docks and such, and dock plates going in and out the way they do (you'd just have to see it...), I doubt they would last long at all on a truck.

But cars.... cars are a different story.

I believe I am quite even tempered and do my best to be a very positive person, but when get into my car or any car, my whole personality changes. I become this super agressive individual that is ready to rip up the road. It is not just my SS, I was the same way in my 4-cyl Honda Accord as well.

I just want to get where I am going at break neck speed and actually look forward to some traffic to make it more challenging. I love the weave and bob through light traffic. I go insane in heavy traffic where I am forced to go slow... well at first, then it is like someone hits a switch in my brain and I totally relaxand just cruise.

#1 drive me crazy, bounce my head off the side window and pound on the steering wheel is for someone to move into the #1 lane (lane closest the median) and go even the speed limit. I have been known to crawl up there butt, and literally rest my bumper on their bumper and blow the horn. Let them hit the brake, with my bumper on their's, all that will happen is I will spin them out. Why? Because when you hit the brakes, all the weight of your car or truck shifts forward, lifting your rearend, and me peeling off your bumper is going to toss your rearend in the direction I turn, thus spinning you out -- not a very good thing for the person in front. I on the other hand will clear the scene as you are flipping and rolling in the median. See... Totally not me... Yet, when I am driving, I swear I'm on the razor edge of sanity and insanity.

And it is like a light switch that goes off in my brain. Because the second I turn off the car, I am Mr. Positive, Mr. Nice again. Now when the roads are bad (icy, snowy), I can cruise at 20-MPH hour and be good with that. I'm totally relaxed and comfortable.

So if you're in Michigan, and see this Black Monte rolling at you, be forewarned, there may be a nut behind the wheel...[:-]

LOL, Craig. If I'm going the speed limit or better, and not in the passing lane, and someone rides my butt, I don't hit the brakes, but I'll ride them, just to tick that person off. Stupid, probably, but get the he!! off my bumper or go around.

When is stress normal, and when is it extreme enough to warrant medication? Panic attacks or worry so intense that it interferes with daily functioning means it's time to talk to a doctor, says Valerie Davis

You would be cool with me, because you stay out of the fast lane or passing lane. But when I see a car moving up behind me quicker than I am traveling, I move aside. and let them clear and then go back.

But once in a while I play too... Like yesterday, I was driving my daughter to a musiccontest ( where she won a medal and is now headed for State playoffs - Clarinet), when I passed this Malibu SS, and the guy must have taken it personal, because he nailed it like he was going to pass me. So I waited until he was right beside me or a little ahead, then nail it and just leave him in the dust, then slow down again. I did this three or four times, finally I let him pass me. I did because we where approaching heavier traffic, and playing is OK when there is no traffic, but the second I saw the traffic, I stopped playing the game. Besides my daughter was getting mad at me for being an ****. It is bad when your sixteen year old daughter is more mature than you are, as the adult that is suppose to be teaching her responsible behavior. Good thing my daughter is mature enough to realize her father is an idiot when he is driving and knows better than to follow his stupid examples. I thank God I raised her right!!!

I love it! I'm a safe, courteous driver who's marginally agressive with a potential for road rage.

ROFLMAO!!!
Tell her congrats on her upcoming State comp. And tell her to not let her band director fool around and not get the entries sent in like mine did the year I qualified for State (many moons ago, LOL). Needless to say I was just a bit ticked off.
