Interesting night!

Two incidents tonight!

One! Iwas stopped at a stop sign and the vehicle approaching from the opposite side T-boned the right of way car. Boy those airbags really do work, they come out quick two. Everyone was ok. The two young (17) girls who blew of the stop sign looked like Mike Tyson slammed them. Maybe next time they will pay better attention. Another lesson learned.

Second! I took a ride to the shore in the 993. On the way home a rice rocket pulled up behind me so I deceide to throttle it a bit to say about 80 just for a cheap thrill. Well this total maniac flew by me doing a frigin wheelie. Believe it or not, its true. Kinda makes me feel real tame and I can live with that. F*cking nuts.

Gotta watch those teenie boppers they have trouble behind the wheel! As for the rice rocket a former student of mine is minus a leg and most of his pelvis after T-boning a car at ridiculus speeds (happend several years ago). He is a lucky lucky man, er uh kid!

I had a guy on a sport bike pass me on one wheel at around 80 mph just a few weeks ago. Hmmm...

Glad to hear you guys are ok, My daughter is turning 16 in a month and gets her liscence in two months, i have told her she cannot get her liscence untill she has a clue, well shes blonde (when she first started driving she thought the right peddle was forward and the left peddle was back ward, that scared me, and almost crashed the car) I hope she gets it before she goes to college in three years, lol but seriously im not letting her get it untill I feel safe with her, Kevin

I've gotta be honest, that would have been me on the crotch rocket not too many years ago. Pound for pound thrills...nothing gets close!

I'm older now, wife/P-car are the loves now (in that order )

A friend of mine who has a lot of fast toys (Yamaha R1, Harley, couple of BMW M cars) and drives like a nut was PASSED while he was doing +85 in his M Roadster by a guy on a motorcyle, doing a wheelie and changed lanes...while still doing a wheelie! I did not realize that was possible. He admired the guys skill, but I don't know how long you can keep that up before the law of averages catches up. I'd love to get a motorcyle but driving is scary enough with the nuts out there now.
Later

I was driving on the Ventura Fwy near Northridge when a guy with a side car lifted the car off the road a rode it on two wheels at about a 50 degree angle for about a mile.

For you guys in the other parts of the country, this is the San Fernando valley where most of the movie poeple live including stuntmen. Crazy things go on there. Wheelies are an everyday thing on the way to Mulholland Drive. (where the Harleys meet the rice every weekend to see who's bad).
