Sense of Speed

Bucketlist2012

Well not all of them...I am the observer...Man, back in my younger days ?

I was both... Now I am pretty happy and pretty smart.

With the state of the economy, it is like people are driving like it is near Christmas. you know how people drive near the holidays ...

They are not concentrating on other things and they are angry, and mean..

Since i retired at 50, I have a different attitude, but before that , i drove 200 miles a day on average at work, so i have some experience with year round driving.

As I said in my BIG fortune cookie earlier...I think a big part is the emotion and mind set of a person.

If you are levelheaded when you drive, you are the better driver at all speeds.

Just my opinion...Not anything more.

very nice explanation indeed. that is the same way here in the mornings when there are fools driving 2-3mph under the speed limit. everyone wants to get to work faster. not sure why. i dont want to go to work faster....

great to hear your retirement at 50. i think you are the envy of many many people.

Thanks. I tried to give my best explanation.

And Thanks about the retirement. A few things, Don't be too envious. I have some serious medical conditions that MADE me retire early..Brain, and Heart stuff..Do not be envious...You don't want this stuff..

True I planned to retire at 57 due to long term planning, but the health issues made it happen sooner. moral is start early and have a plan B. Also I "yinged" when 2006 to 2008 "yanged", and I was one of the Lucky/smart few that were on the winning end..I lost in the bubble of the 1980's, and I saw this one coming..

And to Shado Quad..Around this area, yield signs would not work, people are just plain selfish and crazy..But we can agree to disagree..

The resort/Home I am bidding on ,is in an area of no traffic , and a much more laid back area..Here people commute long distances to major cities are they are in a constant "road Rage"..

So as I said before, I just stay out of the way since I have nowhere to be in a hurry, unless on the Track..
