Abrams are faster than Bradleys, I think.
No you don't. I've been a Commercial Vehicle Operator (18 wheeler) for 15 years. I gauarantee that you do not have the have proper driving skills developed to be a safe driver. At 6 months with a license there is no way you could possibly have been in every driving situation out there. The mere fact that you state you a better driver with 6 months experience tells me that your unsafe. Why? Simple, you have it in your mind that your better than most drivers. Now granted I've never seen you drive, but trust me when I say that the moment you get complacent behind the wheel, thats when the trouble starts. Do yourself a favor and the rest of the motoring public, BE SAFE out there. I've seen too many wrecks in my career and too many young people that think they can handle themselves only get in trouble. This is in no way to put you down, but to only make you think about the seriuosness of driving.Ender2309 wrote:

the joy of cellphones. Saw someone again last Friday zooming through a red light, talking on the his cellphone. Luckyly I had my steeltoes on, so I gave a nice kick on the car. Fun!

Bad drivers are fucking everywhere. I've actually experienced this:
I was driving through the city, doing the legal 50 km/h and there is a guy in front of me. We approach a traffic light. It is green. When we are so close that I wanted to just drive through, it turned yellow. The moron in front of me SLAMS on his brakes, forcing me to do the same. He ends up stopping IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING INTERSECTION (meaning it was way too late to stop, he should just have kept going). And guess what he does? He FUCKING PUTS HIS CAR IN REVERSE AND TRIES TO BACK UP OUT OF THE INTERSECTION. I'm behind him, pissed off, and behind me is another guy, pissed off, etc etc. In short, he could not go backwards but he tried anyway.
Turned out to be a guy in his 20's.
I've been driving for 2,5 years now, no accidents but four minor speeding tickets. (Going 129 in a 120 zone, going 128 in a 120 zone, going 130 in a 120 zone and finally, going 58 in a 50 zone.) I think I'm a better driver than most other people I see out there.

Hey, give the guy some slack. Just because he hasn't been driving for 15+ yrs doesn't mean that he can't. In fact, his habits are prolly better than most ppl's, simply because they're fresh. Plus, snow makes asshole driving more fun for us all...nothing like a merc s500 stuck on a patch of ice on a hill and then seeing a 1989 accord go right through it w/o a hitch after the Merc bailed (i spent 7 minutes trying to get it out of the way!!)
so keep it up--and buckle up too.

To acs: A 120mm should completely obliterate a whitetail, although I think running into it would be harmless for the tank.
problem is you get the big ol' 120mm taking up a bunch of space infront of youGunSlinger OIF II wrote:

the bradley still has a commanding appearance, but parking is a bit easier
edit: I dont speak from experience of course, i just figure smaller profile = easier parking

I wonder what it's like being inside a big metal box that gets rocked all over the place because of an IED...

In my opinion, there should be a much more rigorous process for getting a driver's license.
That's delusional. You can't use the term "daddy" in a derogatory fashion if you're driving a car paid for with daddy's money.Ender2309 wrote:

there's a difference between having more money than the usual person and being spoiled. when you get whatever you want, when you want it, you're spoiled. when your parents bring in 500 grand a year and can afford to get your a car that costs more than 500 dollars, and they choose to do so, you're just lucky. its the fuckers who drive brand new BMWS on daddy's 30,000 a year that are spoiled.
that is the problem, you trust yourself too much and you become a public danger.Ender2309 wrote:
people always whine and bitch about how horrid teen drivers are. truth is, we're not really much worse than you (most of us, anyways...). the only reason we get into more accidents is because we tend to drive faster and we tend to trust ourselves too much behind the wheel.

Sorry, I have to disagree. It is the people that try to merge onto the highway doing 10-20 under the limit that really cause hell. Use the pedal and merge with traffic instead of forcing those behind you to dodge the cars that you are cutting off and forcing to slam their brakes and meet your slow ass speed.nukchebi0 wrote:

I do agree with what some of what you posted, though. I took a driver's education final and got cut off by three people in one hour. Only one was a teen.
The point about the acceleration is stupid, though. Some people don't like wasting gas by flooring their pedal. You are the one being rude here, not them.
Oh, I didn't mean there. Freeway onramps are sufficient to get up to speed. I thought he meant following through a turn, and the car in front of him doesn't get up to 45-55 right (like on a highway). You shouldn't whine there, but with freeways, yes.KnowMeByTrailOfDead wrote:

i didn't mean people who accelerate like normal people. have you ever sat through a light for 3 or more rotations? i do this on a daily basis, because there are people who accelerate as slowly as possible. you don't have to floor it every time, but when you know there's nine million people behind you, its common courtesy to accelerate a little more.nukchebi0 wrote:

as an aside, totally unrelated, i felt i should mention that, in the title, "i will kill you" does not mean i will murder you. it means my car will slam into your car and you will die.
I forgot you are in in the San Fernando Valley. I have never sat through a light for three or more rotations. If someone accelerates so slowly they extend someone's stay at a light, that isn't acceptable. I don't drive traffic lights on a daily basis, so I forgot about that. However, in the situation I described on the highways, as long as they aren't creeping slower acceleration is fine.Ender2309 wrote:

I do it (on the highways), because I don't like wasting gas just so someone can get to their destination ten seconds earlier than they would have.
