catfishhunter 2 #52 August 24, 2010 what i'm trying to figure out is how the hell did he get arrested at 6:13 and crash at 7:15? According to a statement by the Beavercreek Police Department, Eden, 19, of Mason, Ohio, was arrested at approximately 6:13 a.m It takes more then an hour just to get booked let alone booked and released..or so i've heard MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY. Everything we do should have a greater purpose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bolas 5 #53 August 24, 2010 Quote Quote Quote as an example, i had a 1997 bmw 318, and i thought it funny that the cup holders couldn't hold anything bigger than a can of red bull. i mentioned it to the salesman and he said the reason for that was that germans didn't understand the need for a cup holder in the first place. when you drive, you drive. if you want a coffee, stop and enjoy a coffee. shouldn't be drinking it on the road in the first place. kinda makes sense, but like dave mentioned, it's a cultural thing. It's not just the Germans..... WTF does anyone want a cup holder for in their car So you can put your beer there while you open another.Why else would you want one there? Cupholders are too far out of reach, just use this: http://www.amazon.com/AutoExec-WM-01-Wheelmate-Steering-Wheel/dp/B000IZGIA8Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

theonlyski 8 #54 August 24, 2010 QuoteQuoteQuoteWhat's your opinion (Dave as LEO & Bill as engineer) of the high average speeds typically driven on the Autobahn? Is there any attenuation of risk from the fact that the higher speed prevails for most of the drivers on that motorway? Part of the safety difference is the cultural attitude towards driving as well as the level of training for drivers in Germany vs. the average in the US. Never mind the age difference in learning how to drive as well as the cost to obtain a license in Germany. Now, add TUV vehicle standards verses the average state's standard (some states don't even have yearly vehicle inspections). The differences are great, but the short version is that basically Germans take driving (or historically has) much more seriously. as an example, i had a 1997 bmw 318, and i thought it funny that the cup holders couldn't hold anything bigger than a can of red bull. i mentioned it to the salesman and he said the reason for that was that germans didn't understand the need for a cup holder in the first place. when you drive, you drive. if you want a coffee, stop and enjoy a coffee. shouldn't be drinking it on the road in the first place. kinda makes sense, but like dave mentioned, it's a cultural thing. Most soda cans in the middle east (atleast the non imported ones) and many in germany are about the size of a redbull can."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
