Totally accidental! LOL Though, I did want to take the heat off LTO Dave, since this is a rant about bad drivers, not any specific individuals here . . . ***cough***cough *** slapshot ***cough***cough*** Just teasing!

The biggest problem with Canadian drivers is when the posted speed limit it 100....their only driving 62.

I have the uncanny ability of killing threads with a single post. not sure why?? maybe because Im Canadian.

Anytime you guys want to join us in 1971 with this whole metric system the world is using

How do you divide a toonie metricly?

metric sidecutters

How come a metric socket has imperial drive IE 1/2 or 3/8" rachet ?? hmm

Because it takes less time to tell your tool helper (son or daughter) to grab a quarter, half or three quarter than it does to grab a six point three five o mm, or a nine point five two five mm. The 12.7 is easy though

I don't think LTO is going slow, but rather 'enjoying the ride' more? A couple of months ago in a rather hard exercise in futility, I made myself drive at or just slightly below the posted speed limits for an entire week. It was a two sided evalutation really. I wanted to see the difference in my commuter car fuel mileage and to see if I could de-stress more by driving more 'normal' speeds. I usually drive 80 on the interstate, and 5-8 over on 2 lane roads. Always extra cautious in neighborhoods though. It was really hard to do especially on the interstate. Just by slowing down to 68-70 mph, I was damn near a rolling roadblock even in the right lane. That really is pathetic if you think about it. Why in the hell are most of us in such a huge hurry? That said, it was probably as stressful as when driving 80 and dealing with the usual left lane drivers. The bonus though was in the fuel mileage increase. Went from 28 to 33 mpg.

Those that drive slower the me are F'n A$$holes....those that drive faster than me are G'damn Maniacs! That's the way I see it.

Anyone else noticed themselves slowing down as they get older?

Nope! Patience is not one of my virtues. Now get out of the way, old man!

Is that because your driving an older kangaroo that doesn't run as well as it did a few years ago?
