driving in a some traffic today... not usual for my route... skidded to a stop inches from next persons bumper 2x... killed car first time, shoved in clutch second time.

first time was on freeway, second on some dumb road. kinda nerve-wracking... someone did the same to me while i was driving to work. oh well... this is the 2nd day i've had like this ... been driving since spring break...


funny, i can handle a racecar just fine, but day to day driving is beyond me...

yeah, this has truth to it. other cars... it's tougher. different elements than just good driving. it's defensive driving...


i need to work on that...


where are the wide open cities with nothing comparable to rush hour, and no sales tax, and cheap broadband internet and gas? i'm moving there!
