Reminds me of a time (about thirty years ago) when a light ahead of me turned yellow, so I hit the brakes. The driver behind me obviously had expected me to run the light and was planning to do likewise. If he had tried to stop, he probably would have plowed into me, so he passed me and continued through the intersection. It's too bad a policeman wasn't around. I would have loved to hear the other driver explain that he didn't have time to stop before the light turned red, when the car in front of him DID!
When I was in Ohio Fellow Laborers, my car was in the shop so I had to bum rides with a very attractive young lady in the same program. She drove a spiffy little car with a TWI bumper sticker on it, drove it, in fact, like a maniac. Flying around an elderly couple puttering down a country road one afternoon, she stuck her arm out the window and smartly snapped off a single digit salute. We then continued on about twice the speed limit to the Limb HQ in Powell, Ohio. I mentioned I wondered what that couple thought of TWI if that was what they saw of us.
Of course, now the tables are turned, and most of us would at least like to snap off that salute if we saw a car WITH a TWI bumper sticker. I now carry no bumper stickers on my vehicles, so if someone flips me off it's probably because I'm one of the only two people in central Ohio who drives the speed limit!
...when a light ahead of me turned yellow, so I hit the brakes.
George, if you ever come to Florida, never, but never hit the breaks at a yellow light! You'll get rear-ended for sure! And when the light turns green, wait a few minutes for the crossing traffic to finish. --> It's all the friggin' New Yorkers down here. Cause it's definitely not the blue hairs!
Brother Speed, don't think I've properly welcomed you to GSpot. Welcome! I've enjoyed reading your posts.
I don't like bumper stickers either except for one....My MSU Alumni Sticker :D--> I get to meet a lot of other people from Mississippi with that sticker. 'Course we're all related or know each others' relatives so it's always fun.
I also have a "Sportsmen for Bush" bumper sticker and it's the first time I've had anything besides my alumni sticker on my car, but it's a darn tootin' cool looking sticker, imo! :)-->
Actually, I got this joke today right after a rather annoyingly righteous "Christian" co-worker of mine stood up for that idiot tv preacher saying we should go kill Chavez but then turns around and calls Islam a bunch of murderers.

I lived in Miami Bell and those drivers aren't from NewYork, they're from Habana, Caracas and Rio.

Oh, Def, I really feel for you! I've heard you never make eye contact with anyone when you're driving down there. What happens if you get in a crash down there and can't speak Spanish??

Reminds me of me, more often than I'd like to admit.

Reminds me that I don't like bumper stickers.
--> Most folks are pretty easy to get along with, till they get behind the wheel of a car.

LOL! Littlehawk, they've given out bumper stickers a few times in the past, but no one will put them on their cars.

WG, think of how many people that girl probably saved from the clutches of TWI with her driving and attitude.
