I think Doug, and myself are only ones still on a 9.8T, I'll be going to the 10.5 here shortly along with a ported o2 housing. Yes, as Chu said "cheap" is relative... Depends on how much money you have to start with.

At home? Mine was flickering and it's doing the same at work. I already have a busted water line from freezing at home in the garage. I hope it doesn't go out for long if at all.

Yeah, I just talked to the wife and she said the same, no power at home. I left for work at 4:20 this morning and it wasn't too bad. Standing water was probably the biggest issue for me, intersection of 30 & 100 was a lake.

Lane discipline is something that should be mandatory and enforced more. 76 being the two lane choke that it is, amplifies poor lane discipline. Cannot stand the left lane idlers that clog the artery

Seriously though, While on a short road trip in a friends Insight, I noticed that he was tailgating everybody. And this was legit <5 feet tailgating. It didn't matter what kind of vehicle was in front of us (dan's ricer corolla, lorry, bmw, 70's mustang, ect). Nor was he driving aggressive, in fact this was all in the right lane.

At one point while we were 3 feet from the back of an 18 wheeler, I asked him if he was trying to get even better mileage from his electric car by drafting.

His response ... "No, I just lack depth perception"

If there aren't good markers on the side of the road, he cant tell how far he is from anything.

That's pretty crazy. My gf, recently, was involved in an accident where the driver was an epileptic. She was in the backseat when it happened. Apparently those flashing security lights at temple were enough to induce a seizure. His body locked up with his foot pinned on the gas. He knew that he was an epileptic and still drove. I got into a fight with his brother at the hospital that night and spent the night in jail. If I ever see him out in public he's a dead ****ing man.

Work sucks today... No one that works in the analytical lab has shown up yet, meanwhile we've been waiting on test results for 2hrs. Not cool...

Andy, epileptics aren't allowed to drive, correct?

Kenny, your boy needs to buy some friggen glasses. America's Best or Walmart are both pretty cheap from what I understand.

Not sure on the legality. But her attorney is saying since he failed to declare his medical cond to his insurance, he's effed.

Depth perception is easily remedied by proper glasses. As long as both of his eyes are functioning
