I think I have to admit that I have a problem. hehe. well, when it comes to driving I do. I already know that I have a heavy foot as they call it (meaning I tend to drive a little faster than other drivers). Anyways, I absolutely HATE when people pass me. So this only makes me drive faster in order to prevent it. It's not a good habit. Anybody else have a similar (bad) habit like this?

Hahahaha, I don't know if it's bad. I'd say it's more relative. Here in Holland, the speed limit on the highways is officially 120km/h. But I almost never do that, unless I know there are cameras around. But then when I go to germany, it's a different story. There, the speed limit is officially 130km/h, but unless there are road works and it's marked to go slower, if your car can go faster, what's holding you. So basically, you can drive as fast as your car can do or you can handle. It's such a nice feeling to drive on the german highways. You're doing something like 180km/h and some Porsche passes you by as if you're standing. Now that's heavy feet.....

hehe thats not fair Teddy. I think I might be too scared to drive over there. Especially after I almost got run over in London from just trying to cross a tiny little street. hehe seemed like right when I stepped on the pavement, some car came whizzing by out of nowhere, some damn crazy drivers over there!! But I can see how you would get a nice feeling... hehe.

Hi April, Personally I don't have a car, but if I need to go to germany or anywhere, then I use my brother's car. It's a BMW530d. And she's called Tina. Don't ask me why, but he calls her that. A lovely pair of wheels.

lol oh really. Tina huh? I always thought it was kind of strange how some people name their cars. hehe, I don't really see the point in it, but whatever works for them ??? That kinda reminds me of when my mom got her new Saturn Vue about 5 months ago. My dad went with us and first thing ya gotta know about him, well he's just crazy and funny. hehe. Well, he was talking with the salesguy about possible names for a new Saturn car. Guess what he came up with. The Uranus Probe. lol, makes me wonder how well that car would sell...

awwww, I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your car I'm not sure exactly what kind it was, but it sounded like a very good-lookin car lol i know about the 3 inches off the ground stuff too, my ex-bf had lowered his car to be about that high off the ground.. very bumpy. well he used lowering springs so maybe that could have had something to do with the smoothness of the ride.. hehe..

aww Becka, it's not horrible that you failed. maybe you just had some crappy judges (lol i'm not really sure what they are called.. ) I'm sure you drive much better than anyone here in Oklahoma. I swear, these damn people piss me off sometimes. Last night, I was driving on the highway and some ass in a truck thought he would show me how tough he was by riding my bumper. and I was already going well over the speed limit (but that's not the point, I was in a hurry.. ) I really don't understand drivers like that. I tapped my breaks a few times just to show him I was pissed off. He finally got the hint and backed off. Arrgghh..

When you say 130 km/h it sounds like your going a million miles over the speed limit since I'm used to having the fastest you can go on a highway is 65 mph (usually only 55 mph, though). I currently drive a Dodge Mini-van. \m/ I would have to say I'm a bit of a lead foot myself. I start to day-dream as I'm driving and when I snap out of it I see I'm going 50 in a 35 zone.
