I am not the LLB!! by !
I hate this more than anything. Two, maybe three lanes of freeway. Doing about 75, 77 or so in a 65, roughly at or slightly above the 85th percentile speed. I get into the left lane to pass some slower traffic, and lo and behold, there's mister LLB, poking along at 65. I creep in behind him,...

Do You Hate SUVs? by !
I don't have an active hate for SUV's or SUV drivers. If they have the money to afford one, they have the right to drive it just like everybody else on the road. However, there are a couple of things that tick me off: 1. When they aren't parked correctly. Just because it is a bigger vehicle...

Fastest you've ever driven...in a parking lot. by !
Simply that. What was the highest speed you've ever driven in a parking lot? Not counting access roads, etc, the actual parking lot and associated drives. Mine was 40 in a long strip mall east of here.
