You *really* need to read the entire thread before making statements
like that.  I racked up all those miles as a truck driver.

I used to race from time to time when I the money and spare time.  To do
so I had to go to Skip Barber's school to be competitive.  I attend
track days now and again, but I don't have a race car and the miles
don't amount much more than a drop in the bucket.  I'm not sure why you
refer to racing as a "treadmill", but if it's because you don't believe
it builds skill useable on surface streets, you're sadly mistaken.

Why would it be hard?  And why do you care?

Can't.  I snipped it from the message before replying, and I empty my
trash regularly.  But if you really care, do an archive search.

I didn't say I didn't slow down.  I didn't say I won't slow down. You're
reading stuff I never typed.

I prefer name calling.  Spouting Latin phrases isn't my cup of tea.

You admit it then?

Actually, I don't have a record of causing accidents.  Aside from
speeding tickets, my record is clean.  I've never been cited for a
moving violation aside from speeding.  Well, there was that one time I
got stopped when crossing the Dunbarton Bridge in the HOV lane, which I
didn't mean to do actually, but got stuck there due to an incident a
couple hundred yards previous.  However, I don't believe that's a moving
violation, and I took my chances with that ticket to avoid being part of
an accident.

That's two, count them, TWO namecallings.  Ah ah ah ah ah!!!
