badvoodoo Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 Allstate. I do renters, car, and motorcycle through them, and they've done all right by me. Quote
jordop Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 BC hwys are/were horribly underplanned and thus, say, on the #1 eastbound from Burnaby to Chilliwackoff, there are only two lanes, not enough for all the drivers to stick to the RH lane and leave the LH to passers. Â Thus not only the slow LH drivers, but you also get the Abbotsford Asslicker about three inches behind you who has absolutely no concept of traffic flow and thinks with sufficient application he will get there faster. Â Same goes for Sea-to-Die Hwy. Â God bless US 16 lane capitalist on-ramps to WalMart and KFC, thanks to a powerful lobby group for the car industry in the early days that bought out all the public transportation and convinced middle America that the suburb was the way to go (get's you away from all those darkies ) and that the car was an integral part of the family unit itself.

Squid Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 ooooh! A Jane Jacobs name-check. I think I love you, jordop. Quote

snoboy Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 I prefer WA drivers to BC drivers, at least they are fairly obvious about WTF they are going to do. I feel less likely to be suprised by some dork at 95 on the I5, then I do at 80 on the TCH. Quote
iain Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Wasn't mad max beyond thunderdome a documentary of the transcanada highway? Quote
Dru Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 kill all the alberta drivers, washington driver, oregon drver, motorhomes and Rvs and Vancouver idiots that do not understand how to drive through the Valley. then i will be able to make the commute on autopilot. maybe they can make the third lane "locals only" when they build it Quote
jordop Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 The worst carnage I have ever seen anywhere has been between 3-6 am on Saturday mornings on the TCH. Quote
Dru Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 the worst carnage ever was when that kid in bellevue threw the rock off the highway overpass and it killed the guy driving underneath, and then all the cars piled up into his car after it crashed. Â i think that was christmas or new years around 86 in seattle? Quote
glassgowkiss Posted April 14, 2005 Author Posted April 14, 2005 i figured this out. yes, i am talking to you left lane suv driving wanker! you wake up one morning and you realize your life sucks big donkey dick. your house is in the suburbs, you drive to work 2 hours every day. you used to be athletic, but you are turning into fat slob. the only entertainment at your useless job was surfing for porn, but they put filters on, so you can't even check out the latest update on your favorite teen porn site. your wife is fat, ugly and stupid and didn't fuck you for the past 12 months(i mean youd have to be serously twisted to stick it into Shamoo). your kids drive you insane. so what do you do- drive slow on the left lane to piss as many people as possible. you shove your head up your ass to escape your miserable reality and your time in your leather heated sitts subaru is the only time off from this fucking hole your life turned out to be.

glassgowkiss Posted April 14, 2005 Author Posted April 14, 2005 i need to start driving less. but it pisses me off when it takes me 45 minutes from n.80th exit to bellevue, just because there is an accident on 520 in the oposite lanes. like wtf do people have to slow down? therre is a concrete divider, police is there. like i said, people get a fucking clue. the traffic problem in seattle is largly to be blamed on drivers themselves. people don't merge properly, are hesitant. poland has something like 38 mil. people on the area smaller then wa state and somehow you can get from point a to point b without bullshit. there is a reason for it. if you are slow you have to yeld to faster cars even on 2 lane highway or on the street. nyc has something like 10 million people and somehow you can move around there too. same with chicago. and one of the main reasons, that this area is one of the worst cities to drive in, is caused by plain stupidity of local population Quote
Jens Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 George Carlin or somebody said it best:Â If you're driving slower than me, you're an idiot. If you're driving faster than me, you're a maniac. Â That's the funniest thing I've heard all week! ---------------- A college buddy of mine had the words "slower traffic keep right" written with huge reflective tape backwards (like on the ambulances) on the front of his car ski rack. He'd drive over 100 most days of the week. ----------- Not to offend anyone, but It is my experience that middle aged women with short hair driving subarus tend to be the worst offenders. Although Scandinavians like myself are notoriously bad drivers! ------ The stretch where I-5 between Seattle and Portland goes down to 2 lanes is really bad! -------- Quote
foraker Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 dude, somebody needs to get laid. Â Sorry, that's a felony now for some of you... Quote
knelson Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 what about sheep? Â Felony. Â They were already considered "livestock" before this latest law. Â ... or so I've heard. Â ... from a friend of a friend. Quote
jmace Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 Glassgow kiss, its pretty simple your not driving a big enough vehicle, sure you pay more gas and such but all the money I dole out on gas and big tires and such is just payment for road superiority!!! Get a cow catcher and you jump up road superiority status just below big rigs. what do you drive a miata?? Â No one cuts me off and the quiclky move aside, if your only highway driving then a caprice or vehicle that looks remotely undercover works better, next time you rent a car go for one of these cop classics and see how fast people move aside when you flash your lights,haha hours of entertainment. Otherwise you need a big truck Quote
jon Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 This thread is so fucking funny! Â Is it illegal to flash your brights when you are behind someone now? I thought I heard something to that effect because of new anti-road rage bullshit law. Quote
specialed Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 It should be illegal to be fucking asshole driver pissing off Polish massage therapist in Toyota mini-bus. Quote
jmace Posted April 19, 2005 Posted April 19, 2005 hahah toyota minibus, who the fuck cares about them no wonder people go slow in front of you. get a cow gaurd they will think your weird and probabably fucked up so they will just move aside. As it stands now your at the very bottom rung of road superiority, good luck Quote

A guy I work with drives a surplus B&W he picked up at auction, with spotlight still attached. In place of the PD emblem, he put on a giant pirate skull and crossbones surrounded by bullet holes, which from a distance is veeery similar. Â He gets nothing but room on the freeway. Quote
