Re: Window Glare

LOL!

At least my almost 20 year old son has an appreciation for the off road
capabilities of our two Jeeps.

I had him driving on bush trails on glass ice in the winter when he was
14 and he has been an avid camper, canoe paddler and bush whacker all
his life.

He loves cruising the bush roads with the windshield down, trying to
smack me with branches... LOL!

Man, he still comes on camping/off roading trips with my wife and I! He
brings a buddy or cousin sometimes, but they always have a good time
with us. Even if we do something silly like run out of roads going
north, so canoe the rest of the way up to James Bay. <grin> That was a
'fun' trip, want to do it again, only prepared this time, not spur of
the moment.

First time he hits a curb with those, he'll be buying new rims and tires...
Grace was ran off the road over in New Orleans a few weeks ago by this dumb
ass college student who changed lanes without looking... The rims that came
on her WJ are the 17 inchers... It put a major gash in the rim (enough so
that I was surprised that the tire still held air) and damaged the sidewall
of the tire... I do not think that it would have damaged the 31x10.50s-15s
that I have on my XJ...

Although the cop wrote the guy a ticket, his insurance company refused to
accept the claim since there was no vehicle contact... ------- douchbags!

Initially the punk admitted responsibility, but then he gets on the phone
with his lying lawyer father and changes his story and says that just
because he changed lanes ontop of Grace, she overreacted by going off the
road with her left tire... Like she should have just sat there and let the
bastard hit her?

Re: Window Glare

Teach her to turn into the car that's cutting her off, clip the
bumper and send it spinning out of control, like the cops stop a
reckless motorist.

Been there, had that happen.

The other driver was in a company truck and I got his number even though
he screwed off.

I called the company and they checked and one driver was for sure on
that road at that time, so they offered to go 50/50 with me on repair
costs.

I accepted, vs getting lawyers into it. They were thinking the same.

It worked out.

I have also been pushed off the road with no contact and been told to
screw off, I should have let the bastard 'just' touch me before driving
off the road they told me.

Ya right!!!

I 'am' a good, well experienced driver and no way would I feel
comfortable letting an unknown entity tag the front corner of my vehicle
when he doesn't have enough brains to signal or look. If he panic
stopped after the tag, all hell can break loose at 40 - 60 mph.

Re: Window Glare

My Son has been sadly influenced by the Fast and the Furious movie.
He thinks anything that has 3 or 4 cylinders and 22 inch wheels has NOS
and is a 10 second car. I keep trying to point out the true car in that
movie was the old mopar by showing picts of my old 69 Superbee full
blown 440 at the drags.

Though he is good in the bush with a gun, canoe, kayak, and setting up
camp he just didn't get the motorhead genes from me I'm afraid.
He put together a R/T Challenger toy model kit for me and kept asking
where the NOS would go! I told him I would disown him if he ever
installed one of those huge honkin' HUNduh! mufflers. I call them
Audiovox Muffler Amplifiers...don't forget to hook up the 12 volt source
for that V8 sound! ;-)

Kids! We just make em, try and mold them, and try not to break them in
the process!
