bunk, i have been to several rally races in europe.
you have no idea the insane shit that goes on between the cars and the fans.
Hey, what’s up with the pictures? They show up for a split second and disappear…
@ doriangrey:
You gave me poops downstairs about frogs and skillets, so now you gotta wait.
@ coldwarrior:
I almost got squished by a crane that was hoisting a train engine to put it back on the tracks. It was raining, mud everywhere, and it started sliding toward me. It stopped 6-inches away from a concrete block building where I was standing seconds before. Ah yes… the stoopid days.

@ mawskrat:
Maybe later this summer. Or not.
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, but what they don’t tell you is, that Peter Piper worked for the Quality Control department of the Patron Tequila distillers and those peppers were soaking in tequila, and that Peter Piper usually ended up more pickled than the peppers…
Pretty much looks like my daily commute to work in Kuwait.
And no, I’m not kidding.

Actually, I think Lobo may have one on you there. In Rome, there is still a certain sense of self-preservation. In the Middle East countries, according to a colleague who grew up as an oil worker’s son in Saudi, the lovely islamic philosophy of “inshallah” is carried into the motor vehicle operator world. Passing on a hill? If there is a car on the other side, inshallah. Passing with feet to spare, inshallah.
Yeah, I believe Lobo

No, but I drove in Italy for a year and a half.
Italian drivers are aggressive, but they aren’t Muslims. Kuwaitis don’t believe in the laws of physics. They actually think that if someone dies in a car crash, it was because Allah wanted it to happen, rather than because they tried to force a 7 foot wide vehicle through a 4 foot wide space while going twice the speed limit.
While driving at night with their lights off. And not wearing seat belts. And texting.

Oh, and did I mention that there are no driving tests here to get a license?

Damn Japanese
They like driving at night with their lights off, too. As long as there are street lights, they figure headlights are unnecessary.
The reason they turn their lights off if there’s enough light to see is that they think using the lights runs down the battery.

Of course the good news is that is what makes jobs like yours possible. They can’t do that kind of thing themselves, so they have to bring in people from other countries.
@ lobo91:
Lets not forget the fact that they drive both on and off the roads equally. You can be driving along and suddenly some idiot in a Toyota pickup comes careening across the road in front of you, crossing from one side to another.
Kuwait was bad, but Saudi was 10 times the nightmare driving.
@ Mars:
Sounds like Houston.
@ Bunk X:
Worse. When I first was there, we were losing a soldier a day on average due to traffic accidents. The muslim driver has no care about self preservation.
@ Mars:
Sorry for the snark. Didn’t mean to make fun of a serious situation.
@ Bunk X:
That’s ok, it’s kinda funny. We have drivers like that around here, but it’s usually preceded by “Hey Yall, watch this!”
Mars wrote:
So what your saying is that a person wanting to drive in those countries should be checking out M1A1 tanks as daily commute vehicles?
Mars wrote:
We had a Pastor who had been a missionary in Indonesia. In addition to the lack of self-preservation exhibited by the typical muslim driver, they, and the local legal system take a dim view of foreigners. One of his colleagues got into a traffic accident caused by one of those inshallah oriented drivers. Evidence was clear the Indonesian driver caused the accident; the judge found the American at fault. Judge’s reasoning? “If you were not here, the accident would not have happened.”
Really, they are just like us though. Really.
@ AZfederalist:
Yes, it would help.

But he was absolutely correct. Brute Force Cybernetics.

That’s how it works here, too.

And in GB too
In Colchester an elder man with an oxygen mask in the face drove against me from behind, I called the police b’cause my car was a rented car. The first policeman who came out the police car told me everything was clear it was the fault of the elderly man. The second policeman, superior to the first, told me it was my fault. Asked which rule I did break he told me “that I was from the continent and therefore I was not familiar with the British rules”. I went to the police headquarter and they changed the report to “not my fault” telling me that “he hated the EU so much that he can’t stand people comming from EU-member states and everything is their fault”.
Btw.: in Indonesia I always had a private driver or I took a taxi. I would never drive myself there.
Good Mornin All
Good morning everyone. Project 365 update….

Good morning! It’s going to be a boring day!
