WOW!! Ok, I love this thread to death....best one in the forum as far as I am concerned....even if it is hijacked. ANyways, I will tell you a couple stories...one about my NUMEROUS close incounters with old ppl (I have 5 friends, and three adults that can back up these claims)....PPL OVER 65 Years.....GET RE-TESTED..I am not saying that they all are hazards on the road...just that some of them seem to think that 30 km\h is intown speed (50km\h), and that 70km\h is HIGHWAY!!!!(100km\h)....AND THEY ARE ALL TRYING TO KILL ME!!!!!
(All speeds listed are in KM\h)
alright, well lets start with the elderly:
The most recent close call hapened when I was doing 60 in a 50 zone, that is not really that fast compared to the other cars....however I was beside a black civic 04, and was checking out his new ride...I look infront of me, just in time to watch an elderly woman, barely able to look over the steering wheel, proceed through the intersection infront of me....IT WAS RED FOR HER!!!!! She didn't look both ways, just went. Me and the civic tailed her for about 6 blocks before we just finally took off. (I wasn't doing anything stupid while tailing here...we just wanted to see if she would do anything like that again).
Next: I was in an extra foods parking lot, just leaving actually, when I was going past the entrance, I noticed white lights....it was the reverse lights from a 98 Buick, and I had to shout at them to stop....they stopped literally 1\2" from my door. I got out, through the top of my car (LOVE THE TARGA TOP), and then asked them if they had looked where they were going (Don't worry, I am nice to the elderly...too easy to give them a heart attack...lol). The elderly man had said he didn't see me, and that he had checked everywhere and there was no car when he started to back out. Funny thing is that I had seen him put it in reverse, and had looked to see if he was going to check for cars. He had talked to his wife, and then just started to back up...I was behind another car, and couldn't move...so yeah.
(I think I do have anger issues with the elderly though...it makes me mad to talk about this stuff....but that is why I will move on to another topic)
Dream: I had a dream that I was in a MINT condition light navy blue, metalic fleck supra. It had the leather interrior, and that was custom painted to be black and blue on the center sections of the seats. It had all the goodies, aftermarket boost, Tach, it all glowed in the night, and all that stuff...anyways. I was just cruising down a local road near where I live, and then another supra (Same color, and everything, but was a MK4) pulled up beside me, and motioned for me to pull over. I stopped, got out, and shook the mans hand...dunno why, just seemed right in the dream. Then he told me that this was my new supra, and he will be taking mine, because that was the deal....aparently I had traded my older one for an MK4....I wish it would work that way in real life......
Then I took my new one for a rip, and stopped in my town at a local burnout spot, and started to just fog up the neighborhood...
(Bad part happens next)
...I completed my burn out, and was back on the highway, then both tires blew, I spun out of control, and started to flip the damn thing (I was probably crying while I was asleep...
). I lived, but the car didn't. I woke up once I started to walk back home.
Reality: I was doing a burn out last night, and blew both tires....my car is still there!

Our Supra’s, which art in the driveway,
Hollowed be thy power, thy mods are great, thy speed endless,
On the road or at the track. Give us this day free of cops,
And forgive us our impound charges, as we forgive those who are slow.
And lead us not into speed traps, and deliver us from the interceptors,
For thine is our car, the power, and the glory…forever and ever….amen.
