Cool, flaming done from my side;-)... Thought I might add that living in
Atlanta literally people will either run you over, run you off the road, or
shoot you if are in their way (This isn't totally a joke). Now, I can't say
this justifies the speed, but when I've got a ditzy house wife on my ass in
an Excursion burning down the old Alpharetta Audubon (Georgia 400) at 90+
miles an hour popping Xanax yelling at the kids and talking on the phone
(her not me;-)), and then I've got another SUV wielding MILF in the lane
next to me there is little choice as to what to do;-). Then there is ALWAYS
some punk in a rice burner that will draft inches off my bumper and weave in
and out of traffic. I feel its my duty to flat out smoke him the next open
stretch with no traffic, that really burns them up. My 4x4 CC smoking them
so bad I almost loose site. I'm bored this morning so heres a few numbers
for yall:
Number of physicians in the US: 700,000.
Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year: 120,000.
Accidental deaths per physician....0.171 (U.S. Dept. of Health & Human
Services)
Number of gun owners in the US: 80,000,000.
Number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age groups) 1,500.
Accidental deaths per gun owner: 0.0000188
Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun
owners.
"FACT: Not everyone has a gun, but everyone has a Doctor."
Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors
before this gets out of hand.
Remember: guns don't kill people, doctors do.
And next:
50,000+ Americans killed by the automobile a year.
220,000,000 Americans, a 1 in 440 chance you will die in an auto this year,
average life expectancy 72 years, that's 56 years or so driving a car,
that's 1 in every 7.85 people will die by auto accident, and its only
getting worse...outlaw cars now!!!

Subject: RE: DML: 4.7 vs 5.9
Hehe, i take it everyone drives like maniuacs on long trips? Do you drive
like an adolescent 24/7? i doubt it and IMHO you are flaming to be flaming.
this was a long trip, the speedlimit itself was only 55 and the road a
dangerous one (mountain Parkway). This is just stupid! Oh, last trip got
to see a Camry that hit a Ram head on, together there a cobined speed of 125
and let me assure you it was a lot worse than a 35 MPH crash, and yes, the
higher the speed, the worst the crash, This is especially true in head ons
where you add both speeds together.that you would claim otherwse is frankly
unbelievable! Oh, on that crash, if i hadn't seen the rear of the
smoldering mess, i would have never known what it was. And FYI, no, you do
NOT have to drive like a grandmato see that milage on the highway. For
starters it's basic figures, you use less gas traveling at a constant speed
that accelerating, second the PCM (stock or performance) wil recalibrate
itself for gas mileage whendoing highway driving and it will kil
performance, but that's beside the point. Where was i again?

Crash test are done at 35 M.p.h. and you see what that does to a vehicle. 65
or 85 will not make that much of a difference. If you are driving safely at
65 or 85 it does not make a difference.Your arguments are invalid, and if
you are getting 21 mpg then surely you are driving like an old grandmother.
