Oh shit, you broke your thumb? That sucks.. That was one of the LONG list of injuries I acquired a couple years ago in a dirtbike accident. I actually just sprained my other thumb yesterday riding. Thumb injuries aren't fun

that is some gnarly shit, did you fall on your thumb or something? my thumb broke against the steering wheel of my car but it's not bad it's just the tip so all i need is a little splint.

Honestly, I don't know what happened to my thumb... I was too busy focusing on the fact that my face had just eaten a boulder, and that my dick felt like it was sliced in half haha... I honestly don't know what happened to my thumb in that mess...

Glad to hear you're relatively okay, slodki.
Personally, it's not the SUV's I hate so much as the people that drive them. There are some absolutely lousy driver's on the road. If I was in charge of things, one would need a special license to get behind the wheel of: 1. Anything with all wheel drive or four wheel drive. 2. Mid-sized trucks and larger. 3. Mid-sized SUV's and larger. 4. Half ton vans and larger or cargo versions of minivans.
The majority of people simply can't handle these vehicles without more training. Give me 10 drivers of a Lincoln Navigator, and I'll bet my paycheck that 9 of them can't parallel park within a reasonable distance to the curb.
EDIT: By the way, I work at a couple car dealerships. We usually refer to Miata's as "coffins".

I'm not into driving that much, which is why I've been too lazy to go get a license already. That sucks that you broke your thumb.
I think I broke my small toe once, but that's a different story.

I don't know what gave you that idea, but you have it just the opposite. I could talk about cars all day long.

So basically, you don't agree that the general public are lousy drivers and in no way belong behind the wheel of what boils down to a mobile three ton killing machine. I don't know how they drive in Canada, but it's a snap to get your license in America...and it shows. People think because they can navigate a Dodge Stratus through traffic they are equally qualified to do the same with a Chevy Suburban.
If I ran things, I'd raise the driving age to 21 and lower the drinking age to 15. But that's another story.

At least for me it wouldn't mean now that I'm the lazy one who isn't getting his license.
There should be more buses/bus routes.

Yuppie CadillacThese dork twins I work with are trying to sell one of these. It looks like it'd be a fun ride on these roads out here.

My friend has one of those. Extremely fun car... very fast, handles incredibly... if you like sports cars, and have the money, this is the most bang for the buck you'll see.
