So i pull up to jamba juice and get out of my car. a lady probably about 65 rolls down her window (shes sitting passenger side in a huge truck) and says "thats a cute car, what kind of car is that" I reply with oh its a celica and shes like "wow theyve upgraded those i had a 74 celica" i then reply with "oh mines a 94" she then continues to say "really? i thought it was a newer model than that. well its a beautiful car and it fits you perfectly"
I love when people compliment my car -------------------- Cruisin down the street in my Infiniti...always lookin for my next trip to Sin City

Actually, in Washington, people older than I believe it was 71 or so get in more accidents than people who are 16. My mom showed me a chart of it, and at 16, the accident rate is high, and then it drops until somewhere in the 40s and then it starts to rise, and at some point(I believe it was 71), the number of accidents is higher than the people who are 16, and it continues to rise to dangerous levels. Also, I'd argue that kids may drive more aggressively which leads to more accidents, but they are also more alert(generally speaking), which leads to less accidents. It seems to me like old people try to drive safely and not aggressively which leads to less accidents(Though this isn't always the case...the other day I was almost ran over by an old man in a Costco parking lot doing about 35.), but they just aren't as alert and aware of their surroundings, which leads to more accidents. For example, they're so focused on trying to look straight ahead to try to drive safe that they won't see speed limit signs or a kid walking across a crosswalk, or they merge onto the freeway at 40 miles per hour because they think it's safer to drive slow. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
