Much as many cell phone users think that what they have to say is of interest to everybody else in a two-block radius, the drivers of these cars just plain don't give a damn about anything aside from you not driving into their rear ends.<br /><br />Which, of course, should give most of us more incentive to do so.Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24144743.post-75658847406669322932011-01-29T14:07:46.503-06:002011-01-29T14:07:46.503-06:00Chris - Yep...or those super bright headlights fro...Chris - Yep...or those super bright headlights from some newer cars. <br /><br />I think the worst offender, tho, has to be those blue flashing lights on police cars. Why do they need to be a zillion times brighter than anything known to man? They should have a dimmer switch for them at night, too. There's no way you can see anything in a 1000 yard radius when you are near them.<br /><br />Tauri - Yeah...we were so much more patient back then. Plus there were only 12 people with phones back in those days. ;)Mariann Simmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974827167853824792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24144743.post-25918855762867255992011-01-28T15:20:11.945-06:002011-01-28T15:20:11.945-06:00Hey, I saw one of them "rotary phones" i...Hey, I saw one of them "rotary phones" in a Antique Shop last week!

And when I saw the picture I thought for sure that was some part of an old rotary phone. <br /><br />I actually went back up after I saw the photo of the car to double check the circular pattern in the center yellow piece. I really thought there were numbers on there.<br /><br />Hey, maybe that's what they've done with all of the obsolete dial phones in the landfills across the country.cardiogirlhttp://www.cardiogirl.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24144743.post-2410324285832433272011-01-28T00:55:26.803-06:002011-01-28T00:55:26.803-06:00I don't think I have been behind one yet~I am ...I don't think I have been behind one yet~I am saying that due to still having my sight, but that does sound annoying! In fact, I might call our "convention center" that I pass every night to work and back to home again in the morning. They have one of those temperature/time boards outside and for the last week or so, the light is so strong that when you round the bend in the road-it hits you straight in the 'ol peepers (think 24 Infinity cars all grouped together emitting a blinding white light) <br /> Course, they probably have it amped up for the Superbowl so the drunk (money tossing) people will be able to see their way back to their (highly overpriced) hotel rooms LOL<br /><br />And also so the visiting big spenders can see that we have "cleaned up" our hooker problems LOL LOL LOLNannersnoreply@blogger.com
