Ok... common sense tells me

(LEFT HAND TURNING LANE AT A RED LIGHT)... not to pull up too far, or too far back from the redlight, as it will never turn green for me (ie... i have gone past the little signal thing under the road, or I haven't pulled up enough)...

I swear i see people daily who are a car legnth beyond the white line....they sit there for 2 light cycles, then eventually get pissed and run the light....

Common Sense tells me....

Don't try to pull forward into a parallel parking space unless it is 4 miles long. If it is only 1 car legnth, I have no chance in hell of getting anywhere close to the curb unless I am driving a ford Aspire (or equally small car).

I see all of these dumb people attempt a forward pull in with a mini-van, then after 15 forward and backs they give up and are 2 feet from the curb.

Common sense tells me......

If i have been passed several times on the berm of the road by "aggressive drivers" and honked at every time I drive, maybe I shouldn't write into the local editorial paper to complain about them.

---------------------------------------------------------

Some local lady writes in how she is constantly getting passed on the berm, people honk at "yeild signs at her", etc..... the whole world is mad and aggressive. Hey stupid, if you didn't drive 8 mph in the 55 zones, maybe people wouldn't have to pass you on the berm!

Common sense says...

If you miss your exit or turn go up to a safe place and turn around. Don't pull accross 5 lanes of traffic or block the whole road trying to get there.

Common sense tells me.....

Don't buy "MOTOR MILLIONS".... it aint happening!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
see for yourself... www.motormillions.com

1 - the damned titles don't show up fast enough to turn any car in under 30 days!

2 - what about all the sales tax you paid on top of buying the cars

3 - a dealers license (in my state anyway) requires a lot big enough for 5 cars with the doors open and a separate office

4 - The guy compares the "auction price" to "RETAIL prices" which are bogus because only car dealers can even come close to getting that kind of $.

5 - Mr. Motor Millions older brother is Don Leprey...

Common sense tells you....

DON'T PUT A RED, HUGEASS FREAKING NUESPEED STICKER ON A STOCK WHITE CAVALIER, FOR WHICH NUESPEED MAKES ZERO PRODUCTS.

Not that there is anything wrong with that!

Go to the next exit? Wow there seems to be plenty of room for a three point turn on most US Interstates....


Or even better one of those smokey 360's they do at the end of a NASCAR race!

Don't make a left turn from the wrong lane. That's what the left turn lane is for.
