Is this thread an Attention Deficit Disorder test? 
Uh, YEAH, YEAH It is! We just uh, put on an act, to see if I could self-diagnose my undiagnosed ADD, or ADHD (probably the latter)
Although, we can't solve Mark's typing problems. We'll have to figure that one out later 
Mike,
I was referring to my A.D.D. I started reading every word, then somewhere in the middle of page 2- every other word, then... well you know.
Hummer vs. Hybrid ---> when there's an impasse- sometimes you just gotta squish it.

Well, that kinda proves my theory, because I do the same thing, and always thought I just had a short attention span.

you could be right, maybe he didnt see me until he looked back and there iwas a big hummer right behind him
but it doesnt excuse him ****ing with me ,and then getting out and swearing at me

Ok this is almost too funny, but sad as well
I am on my way out to work this morining, i come up to an intersection and at the last msecond this old guy in a civic hybrid just pulls out of the parking lot and cuts me off, then stops about 3 car lengths away from the white line at the stop light, sort of jolts to a stop, well i was expecting him to drive like a normal person, so i pulled in close thinking he was going to slowly pull up to the white line, oh no, then he starts slammimg the break , going 6" then slamming again, I am like " what the f is this guy doing" so then he gets out of the car , the guy is like 90 years old, walks back to my car, i roll down my window, he says, ok i am still laughing " you likey bumper for some reason ?", i say, go back to your car, he says "get the f away from my car you ignorant f " i repeat , just go back to your car , and he just keeps swearing at me, and gets back into his car, then puts it in reverse, like he is going to slam into my H3, yea that would have been real funny!!! , then when the light turns green,, he shot like a bat out of hell, down the street, ! wtf ?????
it take all kinds,, sort of wish he would have backed into me, sure i wouldnt have noticed, but his car would have been trashed
I know what''s going on here. The Civic Hybrid tries to "autostop" - turn off the engine, when it comes to a stop. I drive one, and it doesnt always happen. Usually you need to get over 9mph before it will engage autostop when braking. If you are in stop and go traffic, you probably wont get over 9mph, and the autostop won''t engage. I''m sure he was just trying to get his engine to "autostop", but since he didnt get over 9mpg it wasn''t happening. So he was already pissed at his car not "autostopping", and then someone comes and rides his bumper. Adding fuel to the fire.
