Arg!
Amen on that one! These people drive RETARDED!

It is quite frustrating! Especially when I come from Michigan where this weather is a daily occurance. But then again there are still idiot drivers there too. Just less I suppose.

I know right? I dont get why people go like 15mph under the speed limit, and then ride the *** of the person in front of them? Its like, "okay im gonna go slow so I dont spin out, but if i have to stop, I'm ****ed."

If you're looking for a shop, Turn In Concepts is the place. Not to undercut TIC, since Im trying to get a job with them, but I could take care of you on the side. PM me if you'd like.
