The amount of texting & driving out there is making me nervous

Any of those insanely rich families adopting? I may look a little old, but I'm a kid at heart...

I hear that! Sadly, I think the adoption kiosk is closed. If it wasn't, the line up for it would start right behind me! Again, I apologize to OP if I derailed anything, but I think that I should start a new thread in a week or so. Once the weather clears up for the summer. I'll call it "Was that really a good idea?" and it will just be pics of stupidly expensive cars with New Driver stickers on them. It will scare the pants off of anyone that sees it! I don't think anyone will blame me for driving Silvia for the summer after that. I dig my eco cars, and I try to be a safe driver, but at the same time I have owned some cars with some push to them. So I know that power has to be respected. And some of the stuff I see being driven by 17 year olds on their cell phones... man I'd be chicken to drive that stuff! These clods have no business even being in the same area code as this hardware!

Trust me, if I could get out of here, I would, but I need to be local to make a living. So I have to deal with my surroundings. Sadly.

I think I would put the widowmaker bumper on the back, or in your case Both ends!

Just make sure that you are not driving when you get those pictures.

Ha ha well done. I just have to walk out the front door of the office at about 3pm on a sunny Friday. That's when the local car wash fills up with about $4mil worth of supercars.

No, and no, and no again. You "need a Suburban to be safe" people won't believe physics, you won't believe practical experiments, you won't even belive the statistics that show Suburbans, similar SUVs, & oversized pickups to be among the most dangerous vehicle... What exactly is the problem here?

So, what would you guys recommend for me, with my elk phobia?

They have horns, you know. Big, pointy horns.

An active defense.

I looked into those before and read they do not work. If I mount it backward, do I get a mating call?

Maybe that's what you did wrong!
