recently on the news was a story about a guy who stopped for a red light, decided he didn't want to wait for it, and while going through the intersection was hit and killed.

An all too true story these days, and valid thoughts all. Another of my reasons to bail. I'm just sooo weary of owning a 1972 911S coupe. The traffic laws in Oregon today, 3rd gear at redline in an old 2.4S on a 2 lane backroad can put you in jail, remove your license for 30 days minimum, and cost you over $1,000. Most judges double those amounts, as is their choice. All of this reduces the fun factor. Tabby, we were fortunate in that we drove in the USA during a golden age of the automobile...today? The young ones know no better...but the age of automotive enthusiasm is withering on the vine. Long live mass transit & politicians who know best how we should live.
