closest I could come is.....

Delaware

.......but only way up there in the very northern part. Maybe you're from slower Delaware and don't recognize Wilmington as being in this world!

Being a motorcyclist I try to avoid interstate highways - terribly boring for the most part.

Second, how fast do you drive on the interstate?

80 MPH or so, depending on traffic.

Last, how good of an interstate driver are you and how well can you bob and weave through traffic?


I am the best interstate driver in my family and I'm only 20 years old.

Yeah right You sound like the absolute worst kind of insterstate driver to me; the kind that weaves in and out of traffic at a high rate of speed causing accidents. Even people who drive slow in the fast lane are better drivers than that.

I have been driving for over 30 years, longer than you have been alive, and let me give you a clue; you don't need to "bob and weave" through traffic to get somewhere in good time. A decent rate of speed, while following at a safe distance and not cutting in front of people, gets you there just as fast or faster. When you are putting on the miles it is the high average speed that gets the job done; someone traveling at an average of 75 MPH over 4 hours is going to get from point A to point B just as fast or faster than someone who is accelerating and decelerating while ducking in and out of traffic.

The highways are not your personal race track - drive safely or you will wind up dead like 30,000+ other people every year - or worse, take someone innocent along with you. It is not speed that kills, it is poor and agressive driving; half of all accidents are caused by someone following too closely. I've been hit from behind 3 times by such assholes.

Thanks for the tip MOMMY and the word DECELERATE is not in my vocabulary.

apparently neither is the word geography

 

[RhumbRunner13]

Good one KM......

....should have known that!

Well you had better learn it before you find yourself fucking someone in the ass with your car. You don't know what deceleration is until you've pitchpoled a car at 90 MPH.

What a juvenile.

I tell you what, go out and get a motorcycle, that way you can play your games, learn how to go really fast, and if you fuck up you are probably only going to kill yourself.

 

[Calamity Jane]

So no one else pictures him tooling down the interstate in this...

http://cartalk.cars.com/About/Worst-Cars/Images/Listeners/gremlin.jpg

judging his speed by the rate and volume of the vibration?

 

[brokenbrainwave]

nope this is what I picture him looking at, assuming his pupils are not dialated and the EMS guy is not yelling "CLEAR"

[CoolidgEffect]

Don't tell me.

The only thing they are checking his driver's license for is to see if he is an organ donor.

 

[KillerMuffin]

Alaska doesn't have an Interstate highway, bananatosser. I had always thought that an idiot could figure that one out.

I suppose you think it floats off the coast of Mexico, too.

 

[Weird Harold]

I guess if you like 2-lane roads then that's your thrill, but I don't like 2-lane roads cuz I hate tailgating people all the time.

Weird Harold's School of Paranoid Driving says:

Every third car on the road is driven by a drunk.

The two in between are driven by a Damned Fool and a Homocidal Maniac.

Every tenth is "all of the above."


Three guesses which category I think you fit in.

FWIW, Freeways are boring and only useful for getting from one palce to another without enjoying the drive without any challenges to driving ability.

I've been there! Twice as a passenger, a number of other times putting other people inside. CF will be calling for his mommy when the doctor comes in and tells him he is paralyzed from the neck down because he rolled his car due to his "skill" as a driver. Or worse, he will be calling for his lawyer when the cop tells him he killed a family of four while doing it.

You won't even have a prayer, buddy.

Heh.

Well lookee here.

The banjo playing kid from Deliverance has a drivers license.

Guess they lowered the standards. I shudder to think of how dangerous the rest of your family is.

Then again...Darwin at work....just don't take anyone else with ya when you go sailing through the median into oncoming traffic after bobbing and weaving one too many times.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Interstate Driving.

Heh.

Uh dude, you are going to roll your eyes at me one too many times and then you are going to find my foot broke off in your ass.

Oh look, he is threatening someone with phsyical harm over the internet - just goes to prove my previous commentary; how juvenile. Sheesh! I'm out of here.

No, it is not being juvenile, it is because I don't take any shit from nobody.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Interstate Driving.

It is juvenile, because any adult knows that on the internet, you do take shit from anybody that wants to give it to you, and there ain't a fucking thing you can do about it, certainly nothing physical.

Even if it was face to face, only an immature kid would threaten phsyical violence in response to a facial expression. That is most certainly a sign of immaturity; a mature adult would walk away - like I am doing right now. See ya later gator - this thread has lost any semblance of an adult conversation.

 

[markb325]

KM Growing up in TN I know the back roads in the state pretty well the area you are talking about is on of the best scenic drives I have been through. Now if I could just remember all the roads down there I would have it made.

What a typical white-collar, city folk response you just gave there. It's all right though, cuz I am not the least bit surprised.
