They still cut over in front when merging, and making the last moment to get the offramp when I am towing. The extra safety space is too attractive I guess. Especially ****es me off when the cut in at the last moment and then hit the brakes. I think I need a video camera on the dash and use that to show their stupidness when I sue them after running over them. |

WTF has this got to do with boats? The little freak doesn't trailer a boat. He trailers motorbikes and someday maybe his single wide to West Virginia, where he'd be at home. Guns and death are just as close to boats and boating as this crap. |

You *could* knock off your **** and join the club. The atmosphere's fine until this starts. BTW, did you buy a gun for your boat? I might could make you a good deal on a Sig Sauer P250 in 9mm.

But, I've been told to spend more time shooting it and it'll start feeling very natural. I have to quit shooting the Kimber .45 first, and then going to the Sig. My wife loves the Sig.
