Ya know, the worst part about it is that **vasyachkin** is probably the best, most courteous driver in the whole city. :eek:

Oh, wait. Boiling rage! Boiling Rage! GRRRR… :mad: :mad:

Driving is a sport when it’s performed on a closed track in front of screaming fans. Even then, it’s not a particularly interesting sport.

When we drive on public streets, we tend to call that “getting from point A to point B without getting killed.” People like you make that much more difficult than it should be.
