I have more a issue with who are doing N number above the speed limit and self-righteous about it. You are speeding too so why is your speed better than mine.

Of course as I am getting older I am turning a bit more like that

I'm fairly confident that this in not where you are supposed to stop at an intersection.

You will have to excuse the dash reflection because this is an excellent corner.

We saw an old Solara yesterday (i.e. "Camry Coupe").

At first I was impressed that it appeared to have fully inflated corners. Then I noticed a baseball-sized dimple on the passenger size corner.

But I was less impressed that it had no rear license plate (not even a temp tag), but did have a front plate from Oregon. That's just asking to be pulled over...

Just to highlight that people who drive enthusiast car's aren't completely immune to the corner. I saw this on my way back from lunch.

A friend of mine once told me she bought a sports car, an RX-8.

Me: Cool! Did you get the Hi-Power or the Low-Power?
She: Um, I don't know...but it has the automatic with this thingy, so it's just like driving a stick...

yeah I was going to guess(or at least hope) that was the low power slushy version. Got that ugly spoiler on so probably is

At least it looks like that corner crush is almost in the shape of a triangle.
