I have a fine foxy lady here myself as well, have a great night, talk to you tomorrow
Whelp... I almost killed some tourists today. Not by hitting them, no... They almost had a heart attack.
I was driving rapidly and I went around a blind corner. I'm always ready in blind corners - and this is why. Sure enough, they were parked in the road - and in the wrong lane. So, their car was facing me in my lane.
They were standing around in the other lane - taking pictures of a moose.
I'd been braking heavily and the M6 has the carbon ceramic brakes - that catch on fire.
I emergency braked (not hand braked, meaning I stomped on the brake pedal as strong as I could, 'cause it's got anti-lock brakes).
Sure enough, big ol puffs of flame came up from my front brakes. (I don't know if the rear brakes did so, I was too busy to check.) I still had a good 20' before I'd have come close to hitting any of them, and I'd only been going maybe 60 MPH. Stopping in that distance is easy in the M6, even though it's a fat bastard of a car.
Anyhow, they screamed like little girls and tried diving out of the way - which amused me greatly.
I gave them the finger as I drove slowly by. Fuckers ruined my lap time. I was doing pretty good and making great time.
Asshole tourists.

Ummm, you really should not be going for fastest lap times on public streets, especially during tourist season!
That was probably hilarious to see them scream and scramble unnecessarily.
I went somewhere in my Jaguar yesterday and every where I went there was idiots who don't know how to drive in front of me. People making right turns from the left lane and nonsense like that
I looked at the renoise for a minute. I think I might play with it and see what I think here as the woman just left
Oh, it's okay. I never drive faster than I can stop. At most, I'll just scare the tourists - and give 'em something to talk about. Tonight, as they sit around the fire, they're gonna talk about today's events. To them I say, "You're welcome."
Also, "Stay out of the goddamned road."
But, yeah, I never drive faster than I can stop. In other words, the limits of my vision are the limits of my speed. It's what keeps me from smashing into stuff. If everyone did it, they'd stop smashing into stuff. Never drive faster than you can stop.
Well, unless you're on a race track. In that case, you may want to take risks. I don't take those risks on public roads. Even on the track, I generally still don't drive faster than I can stop. I don't have a factory backing me, so I've gotta pay for my own repairs. If it's a school's car I give no shits and I'll drive that fucker as hard and fast as I want.
