Re: Crazy Drivers in East Coast

["Christopher Morgan" <cmor@home.net>]

I hear ya, dude.  During last Friday's storm I was on the road for 5.5
hours.  I was scared shitless that some clown was going to run into me.  The
clowns were driving SUV's and they were crashing them left and right.  Some
crashed into guardrails.  Some crashed into other cars.  Some crashed into
other SUV's.  One crashed into another SUV, then into a guardrail, and then
flipped over.  This backed up the truck lanes on the NJ Turnpike for miles.
I hope some of the truckers got out of their rigs and beat this guy into
oblivion for being such a stupid ass.  The only non-SUV related accident I
saw was a Thunderbird that slid off the road, which is to be expected from a
T-bird anyway.  It was mayhem I tell you MAYHEM!  With the bad weather I did
wish I still had my good old Quantum Syncro, but my Jetta did pretty darn
well, snow tires and all.

The drivers on the road today seemed to have learned a hell of a lot in the
last six days.  Now if they'd just get the hell out of my way...
