    I have discovered that Crown Royal mixes pretty good with Cheerwine, if you drink it fairly fast. Good night everyone.

    Sounds like a waste of both drinks.

    Also, what were they driving and what do you drive? And what was the middle vehicle?

    Speed limit is 70 on most of the Turnpike. I generally throw it in cruise control about 75 or so, in keeping with the "10% Speed Limit Cushion" theory that everyone should be taught in Drivers Ed. "The Emasculator" is an '08 Sienna minivan with 180K. I don't remember the exact make and model we were following, some sort of mid-size SUV up front, with a regular 4-door in between. I would say it was just normal spacing between cars; I wasn't driving like my brother.

    Alas, of late Faye Dunaway has made news and not in a good way. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/faye-...b0419fd338c080
    Finally watched it today. It could have used another half hour of plot development. Of course, it was adapted from a novel named Six Days of the Condor.

    The reason I asked all that was to suggest that it likely had more to do with aerodynamics, speeds, and spacing than with a super powerful pump.

    Yes, I started thinking along the same lines. Someone who knows math and physics could probably make some guesses on the variables and figure it out... Was still mildly entertaining.

    Assuming that the windshields were at roughly the same distance off the road, and that what hit you was spray launching over the top of the front windshield from the car ahead of you, I guess it would depend on:

    1. The velocity of the water being launched
    2. The arc/trajectory of the water; and
    3. The time your vehicle had to cover the distance to intersect.

    Sounds like a lot of variables.

    Cool

    Besides the high level math above, I enjoy checking the license plates of annoying drivers for state of registration.
    West Virginia, I'm looking at you. MD you're next.
    How about it? Which of your neighboring states are the worst drivers?!
    Nothing incites bodily violence quicker than a Duke fan turning in your direction and saying 'scoreboard.'

    I dunno about "worst," but when you ride along a mountain road heading downhill behind a driver with Florida plates, you can almost watch their brakes burn. You can certainly smell it.

    Due to some idiosyncracies of road design and a reasonably large number of non-native drivers, San Antonio has plentiful examples of poor driving.

    Allstate begs to differ:

    Y'all dealing with Floridians too? Thoughts and prayers from Asheville.

    Here in MD, it's the VA drivers that are annoying. I figure it's commuters trying to get home (either direction), thinking, "to hell with the locals"...

    I used to travel to Latin America often. Love the people, love visiting. But they often have loosely enforced traffic laws. There are two general approaches when they are here, drive like you are at home and drive very passively so as to fly under the radar. It would be great if they drive somewhere in between those two extremes.

    I could have posted that over yonder but birthday posts should not be padding that other thread.

    Hope you had (are having) a great day!
