Nowadays, cars are just hunks of metal with wheels to just about everyone.
They take you from A to B.  So what if I hit somebody else or get hit...let
the insurance take care of it.  I've never seen so many people around where
I live (Indianapolis), who will take their brand-spanking new car and run it
off the side of the road, through ditches, gravel, etc. just to get around
somebody to turn right.  I wonder why we even pave the roads anymore.
People don't care anymore (of course that's assuming they ever did.)  I've
been nearly clipped on the right rear about a thousand times by Kamakazis
trying to turn right while I'm sitting stopped waiting to turn left at one
particular intersection.  I don't know what these people think or what drugs
they're on.  They would soon run over you as to look at you.  I've about had
it up to here (above my head.)  I'm going to get a horse!!  

Arrrggggghhhhh!!!!!
