I mean there are certainly crazy drivers anywhere, but Florida takes the cake by far.

There is no doubt in my mind that they'd be looking for a bailout. None. And the amount of corruption that goes on in that province...I mean its just a special little place, it really is.

The blame can't solely be placed at my feet on that one...I've been eagerly voting against a good number of them since the time I could vote, but the majority of the population appear to disagree with me.

I mean, I've voted for Bernier, but he never made it. And I knew he wouldn't. It was more a vote of protest against the actual choices that were available.

Never been to Florida but California can be pretty bad. Especially if we get a little rain. Maniacs! lol

You probably know this since you used to live here.

Oh yeah, I know. Plenty of maniacs in Cali. I will never forget some of the crazy shit I'd see often during my commute on the 405. I'd have a chick riding my ass at about 70mph (when there's light traffic) and doing her makeup at the same fvcking time! More often than not it would be a VW Jetta.

There's also some of the best places to drive in the world though. I miss THAT aspect of SoCal.

I've been to Florida enough times to know I would not want to live there. Crazy drivers is just part of it. Sorry my FL forum peeps.

Um yeah, you guys just had wannabe cops knocking on doors to make sure you're going through a proper quarantine procedure. I remember specifically hearing that from some of your fellow countrymen. Also, I never heard of cops checking receipts at Home Depot. Sounds like something you'd hear Fucker Carlson say.

Accept no loaner without a driver (but feel free to accept a driver without a loaner).

Its pety and childish but that's me!
I spent the day Saturday at the mall and wanted to go out or make a nice steak dinner at home. She didn't want to go out so I seasoned up some choice filets. She was busy doing some stuff so low and behold we never ate Saturday (except the sushi roll I had at the mall)
Yesterday she baked a bunch of cookies in the morning, and we were going to head out for a big brunch somewhere. She proceeded to wash her hair and was not ready until 2pm by the time she cleaned up the kitchen and showered. Then she suggested a seafood festival down town which I knew would be a bust b/c it was in a rinky dink little park. We got there and you have to park in a dirt field which annoyed me bc I cleaned my car friday and now my tires were dirty . We get inside and there was like 6 people there and 1 seafood vendor. We had a drink and left, stopped at the store for some supplies for the week and upon getting home she finished off baking the rest of her cookies. Around 9pm she finished and despite me asking multiple times what she wanted to eat.....there was no eating....and no sexy time, so I am horny and hangry today, not a good combination (especially at work)

I know its pety but we only get 2 days off from work and I now this weekend will be filled with running around and such. JUST ANNOYED not mad

Most all car forums, lol. Thinking back on the heyday's of when forums were the core of car enthusiasts with vast engagement, then people just started falling off. Hell I fell off (okay 3rd perma ban) for a couple years and only came back to sell some shit.

Admittedly I'll dabble in OT here and there with you nerds.

I feel that. My M-F schedule is crazy and I have no time at home to relax during the week. Mind you, I could have that time if I didn't work the hours that I do (totally on me) and/or go to the gym as often as I do (again, totally on me) but I have goals. With all this being said, my weekends are the only time I have to get anything accomplished. Some weekends I am uber productive, other weekends not so much. Regardless the fastest way to grind my gears is make me wait or waste my time, when I can be doing other things.

I asked the girlfriend last night, what her schedule is for the upcoming week, as hers is always crazy the week of Christmas. Three kids, mom, brother, other family, etc. I took a week off, a few years ago during Christmas. Christmas dinner at the girlfriends mother's house one night, the next night her aunt was in town - back to her moms, the next day was Christmas eve - back to her mom's, then Christmas day was spend with my boys, the day after Christmas her aunts kids were in town - back to her moms.....you can see the pattern developing. At the end of my week, I got one day to take care of shit I needed to get done. I know that she didn't plan it to be this way, but still.

Long story long, I feel you. And to touch on what you mentioned, I wouldn't bring it up either. Go get whatever the hell you'd like to eat for lunch today, enjoy that shit; then go home tonight take care of that other situation.
