See this is why i am always speeding, to get away from all the idiots out there. If theres no one around, you can't get hit. Unfortunately my wife doesn't see things the same way....
I would love to have a dart gun with little rubber darts with a flag hanging off that says Stupid. When you see a stupid driver just pop it out and nail there car with one of the little darts.
If a cop happens by a car with several of the flags showing then they could pull them over and write them a ticket for being stupid.
I love it Chris...kind of like a public way to say "Heeeeeere's your sign"!!!!
I would love to get an uber-loud version of the old Mercedes european style horn. If not that, a truck horn would always work too. I had a close call a few years ago, driving my dad's SLK, him in the passenger seat. We were driving along this 2 lane road - 45-50 mph, and at the top of this small hill, this idiot in a Volvo just darts right out in front of me - like 60 feet in front of me (running the stop sign) - only had time to react and switch lanes at full speed, not even touching the brakes. Worked really well. Of course, the other car stops for a few seconds, and then takes off. Idiots.
Vehicle: 2002 SLK 32 AMG, bone stock. 1987 190E 2.3-16 Valve, NOT bone stock...

On the Washington, DC Beltway, this is a way of life .... I used to spill my coffee on the newspaper I was reading, but I've managed to get past that ......

Bruce, I thought you spilled your coffee when you dropped your cell phone while texting.
Sorry, that was me Glen...very guilty of that...as the owner of the Buick LaSaber that I totalled with my Expedition last Mar or Apr will attest to....my kids scream at me if I touch the phone while driving now......
