Cars

So I was driving my 53 mile drive to work this morning, and a thought came to me as it often does while I'm in drive time traffic; cars are weird. We humans have figured out how to make little self-contained hard bubbles that move fast. And it's amazing how we humans seem to be pre-disposed to make these things go without much incident. So we move around in these little bubbles at high speeds and very rarely crash. Isn't it a weird concept to think about?

It's a miracle actually, that we get through a single day without a crash happening to us, because nearly everyone on the road is a fucking reckless, thoughtless moron.

LOL, don't hold back sweetie - tell us how you really feel.

;)

it's Wil Wheaton's universal theory of driving to be taught to 16 year olds: other drivers are all idiots who are actively trying to kill you.

Vigilance is everything.
