  2. Some people are heartless. If your dog had puppies and you didn't want them, you should have gotten that Bitch fixed. PETA is offering a $2,000 reward for her arrest, think they should offer more but that is my opinion.
  3. That GTO is amazing looking. Props to him for a mean sounding ride that looks as good as it sounds.
  4. LOL. Thanks man. I wanted to hear others in what opinions they had whether they be for me or against me. I have learned from this mistake and appreciate all that replied to help me better judge the situation at hand. I have taken everything into account and have changed my riding defense to better catch things like this ahead of time. Thanks everyone for helping me become a better rider overall.
  5. I posted this to hear others opinions and that is what I got. I never said I was in the right, but the left lane gets off one direction and the right goes in the opposite direction. The issue lies in the fact the car pulled out from a dead stop on a road that speed limit is 65mph, no matter what, you aren't going to be able to pull out and get up to speed that quick in a 4 cylinder car. Plus I wasn't even going with the flow of speed that the rest of the traffic was going in the right lane, I was the slow one out of the bunch so I guess that was enough for her to figure she can make it I guess. As for paying attention... if I wasn't then I wouldn't be on here talking about a close call, it would more be like here are some photos of me rear ending someone on the bike or worse. Some may say that is plenty of room to stop but being I haven't been in a situation like that before I have nothing to judge off of to say yeah I had plenty of room. So yes obviously 10 car lengths is enough room to stop at that speed or I would have been a trunk ornament
  6. I had to complain about this out loud to everyone. So hear is what happened. I am coming home from work minding my own business on a 4 lane road. I am in the right lane where traffic is moving with out a problem, as for the left lane leaving the road, they are at a dead stop... I am cruising at 60mph when all of a sudden this women in a Hyundai Elantra decides to pull into the right lane straight in front of me about 10 car lengths... I react and apply the brakes while down shifting... by the time I made it down to her speed I was around 5 feet from her bumper. WOW, my heart was racing for sure. So how hard is it to look over your shoulder before deciding to go from a dead stop into a lane that is moving at the speed limit to see if anyone is coming??? This is my 2nd encounter in 2 days. I am just curious what everyone else has to say about this BS with people not looking giving you the scare of a lifetime.
  7. Wow, that car needs some extreme TLC... oh and a deep pocket book to fix it as well
  8. I am 6 feet tall and my wife owns a Mazda 3 from 2005 and she has never been happier. The car gets great gas mileage so it is great for commuting
  9. I work Landscaping so we are always out and about so getting to a place to eat is harder and less of a break then just bringing your own lunch.. work 6 days a week = 6 packed lunches
