Maybe this woman's brakes gave out and she had to swerve to miss a busload of kids. Hey, it could have been that.. couldn't it?.. (crickets...).. And why show an obviously American image instead of one from Japan since THAT'S WHAT THE STORY'S ABOUT?!..

Worked my way through college, and now I, like you, make my money from the neck up. I drive an oldsmobile (for a minute, anyway, until the enclave I want comes in). I sold my tempo, which, unlike my civic, was in a condition in which someone would pay me money for it. I once rode 10-deep in an Olds. Yeah, as you pointed out, I can afford a datsun or a faux-luxury toyonda. Nissan/datsun doesn't make a car that's in the category I'm buying in (murano/fx only seats five, and I don't want a truck-besed SUV (Armada/QX 56) or a Minivan (Quest). I'm not settling for a toyota or a honda, even if you spruce them up and add an "L," or "A," respectively. Comment by jackjimturkey, posted on November7 at 7:40 pm 1115:

The left lane is NOT a passing lane, just another lane. In the US, buses and public transport would only work in urban areas. I think some states already require SC's to renew their driver's license on a yearly basis after a certain age. In addition to that, some SC forget or don't want to spend the money to keep their car maintained. Has anybody ever driven in retirement areas in Florida?

It's one of the hardest things to do, getting them to give up the driving, even after "Uh.. dad? Where did the mirror go on the passenger side of the car? "I dunno... you mean it's gone?"

See what she did to that Buick? Disgusting. Old people should be forced to live in nursing homes, only allowed out in the gardens. See that old bag in the photo? See what she did to that Buick?
