@stickguy I don't want to resurrect a speed limit discussion, but you are correct; the 85th percentile rule has been used to set appropriate speed limits for decades. The only groups that don't like it are organizations like Vision Zero and similar, who have the tacit goal of making driving so inconvenient that the masses will abandon personal automobiles.That group’s name should be reversed.
A pox on them.

Re: Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous
@graphicguy,I was a teen at the time. If she asked me to run away with her to live in a trailer park for the rest of our lives, I would have done it.
Don't worry too much, you aren't Joans type.
I would have been any type she would have wanted me to be. May still be willing!

Re: Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous
That would torque me badly. That is worse than someone bumping into a car by accident and leaving without providing contact information, but not by much. That was deliberate.Grrrr. The building to our left next door to us at work allows us to park in their lot. They share a courtyard with the building on the other (right) side of my building. The people on the right are literal lunatics. One of them threw a rock over the fence in a drunken rage that hit my Highlander and landed behind my mother’s Lexus.

Re: Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous
Back then, you could stand right by the stage. We were standing to the left, where the performers came on and off.
My one claim to a brush with fame came as Joan Jett caught my eye as I was standing at the left edge of the stage, and I was taking a swig from some Jack Daniels I had in a flask. She saw me, came over mid song, asked me for a swig, which I, of course gave her. She smiled and winked, gave me back the flask.
When their set was done, she came off stage right by where we were standing. She grabbed the flask, took another swig, gave me a sweaty kiss on the cheek and said "Thanks, Doll"! Still remember her scent.....sweat, cheap perfume. She left glitter on my cheek, to boot.
I was awe struck, dumb founded, excited, all rolled into one. I tried to follow them into their dressing room but a very large and hairy man shoved me away like I was a twig. LOL!
Remember it like it was yesterday.

Re: Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous
It was a thing of beauty with lots of high-fives all around. The best part, though, is that I went first on that hole, so talk about a tough act to follow!
