Coming back from town just now on 542, I came rounded a curve only to find a dark brown SUV in my lane, heading straight for me. Apparently this genius decided it was a great idea to pass a logging truck on a blind curve/hill combo, only so he could get stopped behind a school bus.
It's raining buckets, there's standing water on the road and branches scattered around from the wind storm last night. What exactly about those conditions makes tearing down the road at 70 mph a good idea?!!!! Never mind the passing blind fiasco! Thank God this was part of the hwy that has a shoulder to bail onto!
So, to all the idiot drivers out there, SLOW DOWN! There's nothing worth risking everybody's life over. Just chill, drive appropriate to the weather conditions, and get to town (work, appointment, whatever...) when you do. If you flaked and didn't allow extra time for lousy road conditions, then suck it up and be late - don't endanger me and everyone else on the road! 
And another thing while I'm at it, pull over for the ding dang ambulance already! They don't drive around with the sirens blazing for laughs. If that was you, or a family member, in that ambulance you'd want everyone out of the fricking way so they could get you to the emergency room. So show some respect and clear the way for them.

JenJen, you need to add more swear words. Relative to Newt's classic, your vent sounds more like Ned Flanders.

Well, I know it's a family board and all. I'm just trying to save you some editing work.
I can go back and add some if you want.

Ya, come to think of it that does fit her M.O..  See what happens when somebody sells their soul and buys an SUV.... They're never the same.....

It was definitely not ML. I didn't recognize the vehicle (or I'd be giving them this rant in person).

Classic? Does that make me famous? Dang, I didn't think I'd reach any kind of status 'till I had a genuine Billy Gibbons style beard.
It's too bad drivers are getting the way they are. Seems like the last time I seen the majority of drivers driving in a sane manner was right after 911. It seemed to have brought us together and let us think about life. We slowed down. Then, something else happened.
It's pretty safe to say that if we take all of man kinds accumulated knowledge, we still don't know everything. So, I hope you understand why I don't believe you know everything. But then again, maybe you do.

If you really are a fellow motorcyclist as you say you are, you probably know how motorcyclists drive, and her description definitely ain't it.

You should have posted the photo taken in front of my dad's house in '86, BPJ. You know, the one in which you're sporting turquoise boat shoes.

Who wants to wager on who (ML or BPJ) will stop rambling about their vehicles first?
