I'm in sales. Communicating verbally is like breathing for me. 
Like you, I spent most of my career selling, and like you it comes naturally.
I'd just hate to be in the car in front, back or next to you when you are on the phone with that one big customer who you stuck your neck out for. You know, the one that you financed your production in order to make the container full of merchandise embroidered with the logo "Christmas 04". That container worth $2.5 million, when she tells you that the merchandise didn't sell, and that she wants an RGA. Afterall, if you want to show the management of her department store that you really mean to do business with them, you'll find a way to convince your boss to take the merchandise back. If you don't, it'll be very hard to continue the business relationship you have with her.
Yup, I'd hate to be on the same road with you.

Oh, Lawd, Liq -- that story alone would make me give up driving while chatting.

Well, ThomasFeline, thanks for posting an article that compares a large segment of our Vintage group's driving WITHOUT benefit of cell phone to a group of kiddies on their cell phones:
Strayer said they found that when 18- to-25-year-olds were placed in a driving simulator and talked on a cellular phone, they reacted to brake lights from a car in front of them as slowly as 65- to 74-year-olds who were not using a cell phone.

hehe... I'm in Vegas right now. For the right amount of money all kinds of wishes seem to materialize in this city. 
For a couple hundred bucks I could probably recreate my Fiat "stunt driving" days.
