just curious how many people have been the driver in a car/motorcycle accident.
i've been driving for 12 years now and have up and down the east coast numerous times, across country and up and down the west coast numerous times.
plus my commute to work for the past 2 years is 95 miles round trip.
Just curious how many people have been the driver in a car/motorcycle accident.
If so, how serious was it?
I've been driving for 12 years now and have up and down the east coast numerous times, across country and up and down the west coast numerous times. PLUS my commute to work for the past 2 years is 95 miles round trip. And I've still never been in a car wreck.
(knock on wood)
I think I'm just lucky. Hope the streak continues....

i posted the following on another post but it got lost in the discussion.
i would like to open the topic up for discussion.
none of the christian fundamentalists would respond to the post as it seems that there is some truth here.
This is a very interesting post - I saw that book on Amazon months ago and have wanted to read it. I think it raises valid points - my questions are as follows:
Also:
We have seen that there is no evidence for the historicity of the Christian founder, that the earliest Christian proponents were as a whole either utterly credulous or astoundingly deceitful, and that said "defenders of the faith" were compelled under incessant charges of fraud to admit tthat Christianity was a rehash of older religions.
I would like to read the supporting evidence of this statement.....
Or do I have to buy the book? :-P

don't mean to be gripey, but would like to vent about two observations i've made lately:.
1) a mother whose child wouldn't follow her soon enough at the grocery store.
she said "okay, goodbye!
All you beautiful, respectable women out there...
Please take into consideration that it's not easy not to look at a woman's breast while talking to her. Number one, men are naturally attracted to the shape of a woman, moreso than women are attracted to the shape of a guy. We are drawn and act upon the beauty of the womanly form - that's just the way we're made - we can't help it!
It just so happens that breasts have the tendency to be stared at because they are constantly within the range of eyesight while talking to you. If the booty happened to be located where your breasts are, it would be the same thing - we'd be struggling not to stare at your booty while talking to you. It's not a matter of disrespect at ALL (not in all cases - some guys are definitely creeps and show no respect whatsoever).
Would you not find it difficult not to stare at the bulge in our pants if it were on the same viewing level as our eyes?
I do make a huge concious effort to look in a womans eyes while talking to her. It's not easy either, especially when you have a really attractive pair in front of you.
I know this is a sensitive subject amongst women who commonly get whistled at and treated like sex objects by inconsiderate men. Here's to all the gentlemen out there that want to let our women know we appreciate their beauty without making them feel like sex objects!!

Well, before you automatically label someone as a moron, take into consideration the sport has been around for decades. The HANS device is a relatively new device, and the speeds reached now in NASCAR are SLOWER than they have been in the past. Point being, true it's a very dangerous sport, and the wise thing to do would be to take every precautionary measure possible, but it's not like guys get killed in accidents like his ALL of the time. I don't keep up w/ NASCAR as much anymore, but fatalities aren't all that common. There are a TON of accidents that happen, and most of the time guys walk away from them unscathed or slightly shaken up/bruised up. There are a ton of measures taken to make those cars as safe as humanly possible. Look at the wreck Richard Petty was in years ago. The dude rolled over MANY times starting from full speed practically and only thing that happened to him was he broke an ankle. Years later Dale hits a wall and is killed, something that is done almost every race....it was just a freak, tragic event.
The attraction to the sport can't really be explained. It's something you have to experience in person in order to appreciate. Seriously....I wasn't prone to motor sports that much, and NASCAR had no appeal to me at ALL, but my dad got ticketes and practically dragged me to a race. You have so much more appreciation for it as you stand 20 feet from the track and see how these guys maneuver around each other at 220mph, inches apart. It's amazing, and anyone who appreciates the sound of a highly tuned performance engine will also feel the blood pump through his veins when they start the engines and start rumbling around the track. The anticipation of the green flag is intense, and when it drops, the sound of those engines roaring is enough to make one orgasm.
plus the whole attraction to it is the battle between car manufacturers. Chevy vs. Ford kinda thing. Easy to get sucked into once you're exposed to it all.
Take it from a man who's culture isn't quite the most poplular to be involved in NASCAR racing. No joke, you could count the amount of "brothas" in the crowd on one hand. I ain't trippin over it though....It's all good though.
Go figure. :-P
there's a debate raging over here.
i gotta go with a volkswagen mini-bus.
he was a carpenter, right?
Probably one of the Society's Buick LaSabre's. With tinted windows, of course.
And he'd have a room on the top of 124 more than likely.
sorry guys.

yeah, cool game, AWFUL movie.
what's the worse thing you ever did while drunk (assuming we've all been drunk).........when i was 16, we all got blitzed out of our minds at a witness wedding that happened to take place on hallowe'en.
anyway, on our way home we thought it'd be funny to whip eggs at passing cars.
unfortunately, the first (and last) car i hit was a cruiser.......i realized this as the egg was in mid-air.
One of the most memorable is going through a 1/5 of rum underneath the Brooklyn bridge, yelling at the people making out to get a room...sitting on the edge of the rocks asking my friend if I fell in would he jump in to save me.
oh. the first time i got drunk, i drank a 6 pack of Fosters, threw up, passed out, then woke up and drove home. How I made it i don't know, but I was very concious of driving slow and staying between the lines - somehow.
my parents were waiting up for me, and since I was out a little later than anticipated, they sat me down and asked how my day was. I somehow managed to pull off being sober, but I still think to this day they knew I was drunk.
Next morning i didn't feel very hot. Moms made pancakes, and poured me a nice big glass of milk.
I had the feeling i shouldn't drink it, but I couldn't think of an excuse not to, so....I drank it.
You can guess what happened next...
I'm fortunate I don't have any bad experiences from drinking...
