Besides everyone's good comments here about people texting and talking and not paying attention to their driving, which I see every day, I also try to keep in my mind that most of the cars on the road don't have the brakes our cars have. I have had people following me way too close, and if I had to make an emergency stop, there is no way they could stop as quickly.

yeah i'm never worried about me hitting someone, just someone hitting me. the couple of slightly "oh shit" moments i've had have put a smile on my face because of how quickly i can stop.

:iagree: I had to make an emergency, panic stop last year in my old 350, when a car suddenly changed lanes and about ran a few of us off the road ......... I was shocked and grinning afterwards at just how fast and short of a distance I came to a full stop :p

It's the guy behind you (or the girl behind him) that you have to worry about. Ask me how I know.....:ugh2:

no bueno. i yell at the gf all the time for not leaving room. if someone is on your ass you back off the person in front of you. if i've got extra room to stop i can do it slower so the tard in the ford step-side behind me has time to stop.

$hit I'm pissed because I already have rock chips in my windshield and front bumper with less than 400 miles on it.

I would be crying also!

:ohsnap1: :mad: :shakes head:

Hate to see this. It's a very defeating feeling. You haven't even made a payment yet? And you have your plate already? You guys must get yer plates fast in Colorado.

Haha... after hitting the track, that stuff doesn't even bother me any more.
