                        I have heard that in Alabama, vehicles will be sold without turn signals installed. They don't know how to use then anyway. Confused [%-)] Also the headlight dimmer switch is being placed back on the floor because so many drivers are getting their foot tangled up in the steering wheel.

                        I think I can handle that better than 4 or 5 hours a day of moving 10 feet and stopping. Used to hate it when I had a stick shift in my work truck, wore out before I even got to work. I think here in Atlanta that blinkers must be an expensive option on most cars that nobody pays for, and the ones that do have them don't use it for permission to get in front of you , it's to let you know that they have after the fact.

                        True. That's one thing I certainly don't miss about Georgia!

                        At least all you have to do is think about 400 Brian. I live 2 miles from the end of it and have to drive it everyday, if I make it through the 17 miles of vehichles playing frogger across it I then get to sit in the 17 miles of traffic just to get to 285.

                        I don't think I'll catch you guys in the Auto Forum. You've been getting more and more members joining that are strictly car builders. Which I think is great, helps to keep the balance around here. But keep an eye on that rear view mirror of yours ..... that's me thundering along behind you.

                        (a parody on a certain commercial...)

                        Robert arrives at a party, spies his wife across the room and starts heading toward her. Along the way people notice Robert and ask...

                        "Robert, did you lose some weight?"
                        "No", replies Robert.
                        "Robert, did you get a hair cut?"
                        "No", replies Robert.
                        "Robert, new suit?"
                        "No", replies Robert.
                        "Robert, new job?"
                        "No", replies Robert.
                        "Robert, new glasses?"
                        "No", replies Robert.
                        "Robert, have you been working out?"
                        "No", replies Robert.

                        Robert finally reaches his wife and she asks with a smile, "Robert, have you been posting on the forums again?"
                        "Yes", exclaims Robert.

                        I have actually observed that the Armour Forum has closed the gap a bit on the Aircraft Forum, it used to be nearly 3 to 2 in the number of posts.

                        My heart is with the Navy but I wanted to see my kids grow up, the Army is always playing in the cold, rain, and mud. So I jioned the Air Force to stay warm and dry and play with my kids.
                        Ships bring to mind the North Atlantic.
                        Armor reminds me of mud.
                        Auto brings to mind busted knuckles filled with grease from an over tightened rusty nut.
                        AirCraft bring to mind a nice warm Ops Room with plenty of hot coffee.
                        Gee wonder why I hang out more in the Air portion of the forum......
