I see I misspelled "lightning" in earlier AM post. I apologize for
any problems that caused.
And the emojis aren't working.
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
Someone mentioned snakes on the road but saw not a one. Tortoises on the other hand were plenty. Saw several lumbering across the road.
The drive home from the very southern tip of Illinois was about 325 miles and only about 105 of those miles was Interstate driving. I hate to say this but outside the southern and northwest areas of this state driving is pretty boring.

In my case, I knew the truck driver behind me was pretty aggressive. I was coming up to a busy corner with a traffic light, school kids waiting and crossing, car ahead about to turn left in front of me, cars about to start up on that had a red light, My green light had been green for a long time, and I saw the flashing don't walk sign come on. I had picked out my point of no return, if the light changed to yellow after the marker I would go through. It changed way before the marker so I came to a soft stop.
I absolutely know it would have been very wrong to go through the light, but I had too much to consider in front of me to try and outmaneuver the truck.....I was hoping he would see me make a soft stop....flashing brake lights....but he assumed and probably did wishful hoping I would go through the yellow light....and I have no idea how he could have cleared it before it went red.

Regarding interstate merging. I don’t mind moving over for someone merging if I can get into the left lane easily.
But, it’s those who are merging that make it difficult on themselves. Speed up on the ramp to get in front of me. Or, slow down on the ramp to get behind me. But, trying to merge when you are doing neither, just sort of staying parallel to those on the interstate, you’re asking for trouble. They either run out of lane to merge, or they try to force me into a lane that I can’t change into because of other traffic.
Unfortunately, that’s the case about 50% of the time.

I also like to think ahead for the truckers, because the one time they don't see my car in the lane they need to change into is going to be bad for me and my car.
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
I was scared by the roaring sounds in advance of the tornado showing up on
radar with its debris and locating it for us. There are others needing
sympathy and prayers more.
There are thousands of people along the path as the tornado skipped SE into
and across townships on the north side
of Dayton who can't even get out of their local roads because of blockages. And
the traffic lights are off on roads where there are people gawking along with
people needing to driving in or out.
Many of the people in the path are in lower income areas,
and likely house damage or having the apartments stripped of roofs by the
F3 (I estimate) and straight line winds. Many are financially unable having
saved nothing in their lifestyle or they are retired, who will have difficult times
moving what's left if they can find other housing.
Damage? You don't see the homes and buildings stripped off their foundations like in
F4 and F5 tornado scenes, but many, many people are now in financial
trouble.
Sure enough, a politician home on month vacation from DC shows up this
morning to be interviewed on TV while the local stations are showing us
drone pictures and on the scene reporting of what happened now that the sun is up.
Only 1 death reported so far, due to almost hours of advance reporting
as this storm came from Indianapolis. In Celina, an elderly man was killed
when his car came into his house. The whole city of Celina is without power.

Luckily my building was not damaged but the two adjacent buildings were. I feel your pain Imid and know the experiences of the aftermath. Our buildings are solid concrete walls and floors with support concrete on the interior walls - these buildings were constructed to withstand hurricanes.
Stay safe, my friend.

I have gone through yellow lights in Florida and I am amazed that car 10 or 20 lengths behind me go through the light too. I don't mind red light cameras.....I don't like that private companies make most of the money from them and they have to be set up in a way that is fair.....not with for example, very short yellow light times!

She said everything went north of them, so no problems.
Did send me a funny picture of their 3 cars parked in their 2 car garage, which has 2 doors.
Lot of others not so fortunate, wishing them well.
My city only has 3 red light cameras, I think, and none are on my commute. That along with a usually few second delay from red to green means I can plan my "point of no return", and decide when to floor it or simply amble on through.
I just gently slow down if being tailgated, but fortunately, it is a rare event, as drivers here are slow as a rule. I do recall a fun one a couple weeks ago when I was out in the old car. A guy in an M4 (of course) behind me would back off, then accelerate fast and come near me, then back off again. Maybe he was just playing, but it looked weird. I was already going 5 over, and the upcoming intersection is almost always a red light, so no reason to be in a hurry.
But the car in front of me was a small Toyota....could be one of these:
This car dawdled along.......he got a yellow light he barely made it through........I would have made it through too if he had kept up with the traffic ahead of him, but, he of course couldn't care less about anyone else. Probably saw I was driving a gasser and wanted to hold me back.
Even worse we have a corner with an advanced green. If the guy at the front is paying attention 6 cars can get through....if the first few cars have drivers who fall asleep or are texting only 2 or 3 cars get through.....there should be a way to catch them on a camera!

How come at the 45 second and 53 second mark the Dart doesn't have a No Draft window?
They don't make TV shows like they used to.

The turn lane dawdler is an epidemic here, probably texting, not looking up, and is always the last one through. There's a light local to me that changes based on a sensor - once the gap between cars is long enough, the turn arrow ends. The dawdlers mess things up there all the time, and no enforcement because of course. I know in Vancouver, there has been significant enforcement via cops acting like pedestrians and catching distracted dolts from the sidewalk.
The intersection in question used to have a flashing yellow when the turn lane wasn't green, but the diverse driving talent of this area put an end to that, as there were numerous crashes due to "drivers" not knowing to yield. Thanks, rubes.
Wayne made a few cop chase movies late in his career. That clip was from “McCue” where he also drove a Trans Am. Another movie was “Brannigan” where he smashed up a Jaguar S with a Capri and later shot up a Jaguar E at the finish.

Low miles are good.....but, it is almost 4 years old so I think it depreciated at about a normal level.
It seems that low miles are a great advantage to the buyer, they help the seller to sell sooner and easier, but, the low mileage does not bring the cost of the car up that much more.
Also, not a car that is in high demand.
Are you thinking of trading in the Soul?
