RE: ROAD RAGE!!!!

[Tim Irwin <timi@Interlinq.com>]

Some people may not like what I have to say on this topic, but TOUGH.

<soapbox, flamesuit on>

You are in control of a 3000+ pound machine capable of exacting considerable
damage to humans and property. Please treat it as such. Tempers and
vehicular assault do not belong on the roadways. Period, end of discussion. 

If you don't like the way someone is driving, get out of their way, if that
doesn't work or they're being _really_ stupid, call the police (they can be
good guys occasionally). If you drive like an idiot in reponse, I can assure
you that you aren't helping the problem.

We drive fun, high performance cars, and personally I'd like to keep mine in
one piece.
