Something that cracks me up (or ****es me off, depending on my level of

Come on, BE A MAN! It's a TRUCK for crying out loud -- that stupid
little speed bump is NOT going to hurt it!


That drives me nuts.
I will pass those douchebags, on the speed bumps, in my minivan!


Yeah--that's one of mine too. But I sometimes when I'm considering
whether to do something or not (like make a u-turn across the median
when stuck in a traffic jam) have to remind myself "It's a JEEP dammit,
and that's what it's _for_.

On the other hand I remember a ride with Budget's worst nightmare--this
guy drove a Budget Lincoln like it was a dirt bike. He was much more
careful with his own Porsche.
