Moving

Driving up the interstate, I-85, to move into the new place, Heavier Than a Death in the Family blaring out of my car’s shitty speakers, the only way to hear it, man. Suddenly, I notice a car passes me like I’m doing 20 when my speedometer reads 85, and I catch a glimpse of the name of the back of its trunk. Charger. One of the 06 models, the ( Read more... )

A+ entry. It reminded me of when I enjoyed driving that way.

Thanks! What happened, have you grown into a more law-abiding driver? I hope I never do, I love being that guy people don't want to ride with.

PS I don't have an icon of you, you got a preference on a picture?

I've been in my fair share of accidents; I'm scared of getting pulled over; my car is dying and won't go 90+ v. often anymore.

I don't care, really, so long as it's not too hideous.

You're a busy man that needs to go to busy places quickly maximumlobster January 23 2006, 21:04:05 UTC
Those new Chargers are pretty slick, but I wouldn't buy American for fear of everything just falling apart all at once.

In any case, I usually find a couple guys like that if I'm going to Miami or Tampa. Those guys going 110 down 95 are ticket magnets. I trail them, but at a few mph slower. It's perfect because the cop will always go for the other guy. And it's Florida, so there are no shortage of people who drive like that. Interestingly enough, there are plenty of minivans that do it, but if you find a Dodge Magnum, you can be goddamn sure he's gonna be doing 120 the first chance he gets. Also he'll usually have spinners.

i met a soccer mom who was down with coke (aine) the other day msnvwls January 23 2006, 21:12:41 UTC
Yeah, the next car I'm gonna get is probably going to be some Japanese car that gets 60 miles to the gallon, because I have no faith in towelheads (I love acting like a racist recently) to continue selling us oil while we fuck their countries up.

But yeah, it's kind of insane how fast minivans'll go. I swear to God the soccer moms around here take the governers off their engines, either that or the companies don't put 'em on there because they don't think middle class moms with many children will go over 55.

Was she good at soccer? maximumlobster January 23 2006, 21:22:10 UTC
I suspect the ability of minivans to go that fast was some sort of social psychology expirment that got way out of hand.

I knew a guy who pulled the governor (it was one of those computer chip ones) from an excursion, so he could go over 80. I believe he wrecked it not long after that.

who knows, i hate coke whores msnvwls January 23 2006, 21:25:11 UTC
I wonder what the turnover ration on the Excursions is. I always see them fucking flying around here and think, "Jesus, I bet you can't go over 25 around a curve in one of those things, that stupid asshole is going to die."

amazing entry, to jump on the bandwagon.
makes me wish i actually had a driver's license.

msnvwls January 23 2006, 21:42:28 UTC
Actually, I'm sort of envious of people that don't have to have a license, because having one has been so necessary for me the past few months. I'm fairly certain that the moment I would lose mine would be the moment I would need/want it most, though.

who'ssat!? frankieteardrop January 23 2006, 21:47:30 UTC
that's one of a thousand reasons i moved here. it's not that i don't want to drive ((i do have a permit... well did until yesterday)) but it's just never been practical. it was either college or a car for me.

don't drink and drive.

oh yeah, i read about you losing your shit, condolences msnvwls January 23 2006, 21:48:57 UTC
But drinking + driving is so fun!

What'd you major in?
