I lived in Northern Virginia for five years and put up with the melting pot of idiot dreck-head drivers. Had the opportunity to relocate back home to northern Conn. (Where I had left some 12 years ago) just to realize that even the drivers here are freakn' ridiculous.

As a life long entrepenur I've always fantasized about engineering, designing, and building a lightweight fork lift that when attached to the front sub-frame of ANY car could toss vehicles out of my way. Especially those hardship cases loitering in the Mumford (Passing) lane.

As you are most aware, Hind sight is always 20/15 to say the least. Learn from your experiences, get over it, and move on. Fortunately for you your experience, wisdom, and a little luck saved your life. Have you a restored level of faith yet?

Almost three years ago I was in a severe car accident on the I-495 Beltway outside of DC. It was Christmas Day, 2002. I was working and headed out to meet a customer. Anyway, I was in an accident - hit by one car from the rear, rotated to the left and crossed onto the outer loop going the opposite direction. Got hit by three cars on the outer loop! I expired, got resuscitated, sustained a cerebral hemorrhage, broken neck, broken back, and came out of it the most lucky individual that ever lived (That day). My spinal chord got damaged via a C2 displacement and suffered zero paralysis! I'm a living miracle!

So today I drive with such clarity it's amazing. I still drive assertively but follow 98% of the rules of engagement. I just wish the other drivers followed at least 50% of the road rules.

Personally, I drive an '89 900 Turbo Conv. on weekends; a Dinan laced 750iL, and a Tahoe (Wife's MoFo). Love um all!
