Mornin' Leth...and happy 4/20,
Ya life can be a bitch sometime. Hassles at work are the worst...but I'm retired so all that is behind me.

Wanted to comment on trucks. Depending on how big a guy you are...the little mini pickups, especially the older ones, are practical, cheap and versatile. My Dad had a diesel one with 5 speed floor shift. A blast to drive but too cramped for me.
Take care man...

I loved my old truck. 1970 3/4 ton Chevy...ran on propane or gas...I could switch from the cockpit. Had an Alaskan camper I could put on the back. Drove that thing all over US and Mexico. Ooops stoned...

The only real pros i got if i get a truck if i can see over our fence making it easy for me to get onto the road cause our house is right next to an extremely busy road nobody lets you in. Cost of gas is gonna be higher as well. I got a whiles more to think about it though but its an option. Im probably going to get something cheap like a sedan or something ita just me dtiving thate why rarely any passengers

for god's sake people...quit trying to be nice and learn the rules of the road...i realize you are trying to be nice, but the rest of us read the rule book (they give them out for free, you can get it online....) and try to do what it says to do...and you not taking your turn at the intersection throws the whole thing off...if everyone knows and follows the rules, then things go quickly and efficiently, and everyone is aware of what everyone else is going to do...when you decide to be nice, you throw everyone off...like the one tuba player at the half time show that can't keep up with the rest of the marching band.
we appreciate the sentiment, but if you really want to be nice, learn the rules that the rest of us play by, and play by them, as well.

and p.s. ....that lever on the left side of your steering wheel? it will tell people which way you're going to turn, so they don't try to turn the same way at the same time, and kill you...up for right, down for left...and it even turns itself off after you turn (sometimes)...i can operate it with my pinky without taking my left hand off of the wheel, so it ain't hard....

Way too many nice drivers in Oregon...hard to get anywhere trying to overcome their incessant politeness.

So I'm with you on that point Rog...

Green Bay had new roundabouts put in a few years ago and a lot of people had no idea how to use them. I watched a few traffic jams from people stopping in the middle of the roundabout to let someone else in.

If I come up to a 4 way at the same time as other people, I give it a 3 count, if no one moves, I floor it.

Don't forget about people that slow down at the end of on ramps, and my favorite, the ones who just stop traffic just to let side street traffic out, then keep going straight. I've had that happen twice in the last couple months. Talk about infuriating.:cuss:

When I go to my buddies place at the coast I go through a rotary. Watching all the out of staters that never dealt with them is both funny and terrifying at the same time. They just made it a 2 lane rotary last year, I haven't been through since should be fun.

Won't be an issue for me, lol.

I admit to that one. We have a busy main road going through the middle of town and most people are just passing through. I'll do that so locals can get out on the road. I hate being stuck at a stop when I'm just trying to get to the hardware store on the other side of town.

It's one thing when you're downtown, doing maybe 25mph, and want to let someone out because there's tons of traffic. I get that.

I'm talking doing 40-45mph on a back road, with just a few other cars, and suddenly doing it. The one a couple months ago almost caused a 3 car pileup. The guy behind the asshole who stopped ended up on someone's front lawn and the guy behind him slid into the oncoming lane of traffic, luckily there wasn't any coming. I hope you're not that type.
