Misty,
Just a word of advice, be careful of the younger generation with their souped up 'Rice Burners'!
I've had several out here in CA. that have gotten really mad at me because I refused to 'Street Race' with them. They throw stuff at my car and shout remarks in reference to my age etc. just trying to get me to race with them. What I do is look for a police car and then make like I'm going to race them but as soon as they take off, I lay on my horn to get the policeman's attention and point at them. This tactic works about 2 out of 3 times. If the policeman goes after them, I follow and when he pulls them over, I tell him what had been going on if they were throwing stuff at me, trying to get me to race with them on public streets. Two of these kids have hamkd their cars impounded right on the spot and the driver was hand-cuffed and taken away in the police car.
I also just turn off the street we're on and take a different route to get to my destination.
There are a lot of STUPID YOUNG DRIVERS out here in the L.A. County, Ca. area! That's why my XLR only gets driven on the freeways, but not at 'Rush hour' traffic time!
That sounds just horrible. Thank you for the warning.
