Mine is still drop dead gorgeous, even at 55. No defects yet but I inspect thoroughly and often!

Get behind me and do that and I'll jam on the binders...RIGHT NOW. Assured clear distance says you pay for yours...and mine. Let me know where you are, I need a new vehicle...at your expense. Come on.....

Been on both ends of that deal. Now I just drive in the travel lane with the cruise control set on speed limit +9.

Actually I haven't been on the tailgating end (I despise it), but on one occasion there was an incident where some jackal was on my ass in bumper to bumper traffic and just HAD to get around me. So said jackal rammed his car into the 2nd lane, then rammed in front of me so violently and without care that I had to jam my brakes on not to have my fender clipped. So, I high beamed him and left them on (it was afternoon rush hour so not a big deal actually.) Then said hot head was still apparently angry that I keep 2 car lengths between myself and the car in front of me that he stabbed the brakes. I reacted and did same, then said to myself "do that again, my reflexes are fading ) He did it again. I hit the brakes and then backed off such that we had slight contact - enough to make said knuckledragger snap. He pulled over to the right with him and his passenger waving their arms for me to do so. I waved at him and laughed knowing that he'd never get back to where I was in such heavy traffic. C'est la lie.

If I'm on it hard I can briefly yank the front wheels of my '69 Vette when I throw second. One day last summer I was behind a Roush 'Twang on a long, sweeping entrance ramp. He mashed it. I dropped it a hole and tucked in behind. I could see the surprised eyes in his rearview when we hit the six lane at 125 indicated and I was right on his rump. Throttled back. Fell on next to each other, gave a mutual thumbs up and went on our way.

Had some guy ride my arse after turning onto a main thoroughfare from the road that leads to the dragstrip. I tested to see if he wanted to play by progressively pushing on the pedal - dude was nuts - I couldn't see his bumper as he rode it up 'till 90 MPH whereas I had to back down as 55 MPH 2-lane highway

In as much as I'm always packing heat, you might not like the outcome...at all. The NATIONAL MINUMUM SPEED LIMIT ON ANY LIMITED ACCESS OR INTER/INTRASTATE HIGHWAY IS 45 MPH. Thats Federal law btw. That means I can drive 45 in the slow lane. I don't but I do drive the speed limit or slightly below the posted limit.

I'm in no hurry to get anywhere unlike most people that are (in a hurry to die).

How can WE help cooperate Big Box get good pellets for US to keep stupid people from hitting us while I drive home with a car full of pellets?

It is?

Not oil, cars. She's a Ransome E Olds (Oldsmobile) great grandaughter.

I don't care if it rains or freezes. I have a Bretta 92 and the highest Marine Corps marksmanship rating.

As for the thread, people are human. Discussions wander and come back. Doesn't make them useless, makes us humans. Get the poker our of your tail or apply to be a mod.

It's all good. This is my favorite forum on the net and I like some of the drifts the discussions take. Getting back on the environmental "green aspect" of driving a Prius, it's not a green a solution as many think. Nothing against them but what is to become of all the batteries when they eventually reach the end of their lifecycle. Now cars run by hydrogen intrigues me, with the byproduct being water as I understand it. To keep this on topic, how many bags of pellets can you fit in a car fueled with hydrogen?

Do me favor and tell the mods that! !

I'll do the same thing when some A-hole wants me to break the speed limit so he can get to where he's going 5 minutes quicker. If I'm passing cars at 5 over the limit, you can sit back there all day for all I care. This isn't the autobahn, Skippy!

I have a .58 caliber Zouave and can blow the head off of a turkey at 75 yards off hand. At least I could before the do-gooder animal lovers made it a sin to have a REAL turkey shoot!

Box stores could care less what you think. I stopped by a TSC tonight to see what they had in stock (it's an addiction), they had a skid of greenways with about 6 bags on it and several full skids of indecks still wrapped up next to it. I burn greenways currently, so i didn't want them, but have yet to try indecks. The guy that works there proceeds to tell me that they are not aloud to open up a new skid and sell me any until those 6 bags of greenways are gone. I've never been to a store whose sole purpose was selling stuff and then not sell me stuff when i wanted to buy it, lol. That tells you how much they care about you or what you think.

Buy those bags and then the ones you really want and return the bags you don't want. I would do it right there and load my truck and then take off the 6 bags and return them.

Not about to do either. There are enough screws on here now and my tail is just fine...last time I looked........ (Beretta)'s are clunky. I prefer my Les Baer.

Keep it on pellets, wood pellets or some form or I am going shoot this thread.

Peterfield said:

Zero problem with that but I have Susie with these folks trying to instill their driving habits on others. Left lane is for lead foots, not lead a**holes who know darn well they are causing a problem. Having said that, I am not generally in a hurry to get anywhere, you get there when you get there. Small point but it's also the law in many states

'KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS' I think the signs say. If I'm passing and within the generally accepted overspeed condition, I ain't moving over for someone going 15 mph over so I can sit in the grey hair lane and I won't go his 15-20 over just to please him and get a ticket.

I have talked to management at lowes and HD many times about getting better qualiy pellets. I am told stores have no say and they never know what brands are coming in, different brands every load. Same with corporate, apparently they put out bids and go with the low balls.

All depends where you live, we get mostly chit here in Ct
