Just Venting

Since i am 52, and I have built a lifetimes worth of Net worth, I will not let the street trolls get to me...

There is one everyday that i drive the 370Z or the Z/28...I cannot and will not drive like i did 20 years ago...

Way too much to lose...So the losers win the race off the light, and I win the game of Life..

That is how I deal with it...

That is a good, mature, and appropriate way to look at it.

I can still remember when I put my Mustang sideways through a turn (drifted it Through) before I knew what drifting was...LOL... Not anymore...!

This should be our daily Motto as we drive our Z's: "The Losers win the race off the light, but We win the Game of Life!"

Since this is a "Just Venting" thread...let me take a moment and do a little of that. Last Saturday evening I'm headed out to dinner stopped at a traffic light (about 3rd in line fully stopped) and I look up and WTH it's a black 350 goin at least 25 mph about 10 feet behind closing fast then the BOOM. Yup, the 19 yr old female driver never touched the brakes...said she didn't see me (all three lanes are stopped at the light). I made sure my passenger wasn't hurt and got out pissed the girl was still finishing her text. I asked if she was texting and she didn't answer. She then got out and walked up to my Z and said "oh look, it only scratched your car" and went back to her Z. I said "you won't believe how much damage there will be behind the bumper cover...probably $3000". No response. Her uncle stopped and said "wow, not bad. The last wreck she had they had to replace the front wheels" (told her to shut her down...the radiator was leaking all over). Well, got the estimate today...$3200+. She even got the frame rails on both sides. I can't believe the disregard today. She could care less...I'm sure she was thinking daddy will take care of it.

OK, I'm done venting...thanks for your time.
