Why the hate for Cyclists?

[foszoe]

I'm laughing, up until last week my rides were a 1999 4x4 Ranger, a 2000 CC F350 dually. My son had a 2017 Malibu and he bought a Corvette, the dealer made the offer on his Malibu and sent me a text asking if I would pay xxxxx for his Malibu? I was waiting in the showroom, I texted I would pay that.
Very strange driving something that doesn't get 16 mpg.
When the deal was done I ended up with a key less ride with satellite radio and a key fob. It tells me with beeps, hey hey, you left the fob in the car again..

My girls 2017 GMC Terrain has a key.

I get in rental cars and I am completely lost. I got in a Pickup and the gear shift was not on the floor, it was not on the colum.....it was like a radio dial on the center console. They had it started for me so when I pulled the key out, I stuffed it in my pocket....when I pulled it out after working around the house some I was like "Crap, I broke the key off!" then I noticed the spare key looked the same. After a min or so of looking at the lock and the key I realised it was some sort of stubby electronic key.

I don't want/need people jumping in my car at intersections
Situational Awareness only gets you so far.

It's a great way to make friends.

Sitting outside of a store waiting on the wife to get something quick I always lock the doors…

Yeah! If she is pursued by a guy with a knife, I don't want her opening the door and letting him have a chance at me!

This old man is lucky the kid didn't beat his ass. Next time he may not be so lucky.

I'm gonna pee.

I would just blame it on the smart car if she survives! It locks the doors automatically honey! It thought it was protecting me. Which would not be a lie because, if you have a loan on a car, the banks know who is paying the loan and they upload a protection package to the vehicle to keep that person alive as a priority over all others. It will even reroute the airbag blasts in an accident to make sure the payee stays alive.

I remember I was getting out of evening shift, steel mill in Gary.
A guy approached my car asking for "a couple dollars".
His eyes got kinda big, looking at what was pointed his way.

So, I don't mind cars locking themselves when it's in motion.
But unlocking.. no way

Gotta love Gary,
I worked there 3 times for Otis. My boss asked me to go again a few months later, I told him I didn't leave anything behind for me to go and get.
I can't imagine what that hole is like now.

We didn't have that problem, thank god.
It was the endless gun shots all day.
They would try to steal your tools and sell them back to you.
I want to say Marshalltown and Delaney projects were a few I worked in.
It was worse than West Baltimore. lol
