Pretty sure Jesus hates people who text and drive as much as he hates **** and Jamaicans. Anybody know a thumper who can confirm that?

By definition yes, which means I am still breaking Pennsylvania law and I know it's something I shouldn't do at all. However, I'd rather take two seconds when I'm safely stopped at a stop sign with no one around to make sure that I see the text from my sister telling her to pick her up from work because she got off early and type a quick "be there in ten minutes" reply before getting all the way to a friend's house and having to drive 15 miles back (she doesn't call because she knows I'll see it either way and she has free texting but $0.25/min phone calls).
I used this as an example because this type of situation is the ONLY instance I will do it, and it's rare that these kind of situations occur. Any other random casual conversation can wait til I get where I'm going. My friends know this about me.
And trust me, I get it. I really do. I'm 19 and I send thousands of texts a month. I know it's tempting to be quick texting back a chick you're talking to or friends to get plans in motion for the night. But that's where common sense takes over to fight off that temptation. It's not safe and that's why I don't do it. When the car is in motion and sharing the road with other cars, it becomes a 3000 pound loose cannon when the driver is looking down at a phone instead of at the road.
I think of it from my own perspective. I'm getting a G37 when I graduate college. Due to good money management this summer, I almost have enough saved up for a sufficient down payment on one as it is. This is money that I've been saving for years and I'm going to put it into something that I really want. If some idiot rear ends me a month after I get the car and destroys it because their texting conversation was more important than paying attention to the road, I would probably kill them. You guys both have some pretty nicely modded cars and I'm sure you'll be stepping it up again in the near future to even better ones. You can't tell me you'd be royally pissed if someone wrecked it and put you in the hospital because they were texting.
You two aren't retarded, that was a bit of a harsh response on my part. Clearly you're both fairly bright; you have to be to be able to live independently, hold jobs, and have the means to mod your cars. However, texting and driving and saying you do it like it's nothing is pretty damn ignorant.

WHO THE FU(K CARES
07-11-2012 | 08:34 AM
I explained the reason why I do it when my car is stopped sometimes, said I can understand the reasons why you want to do it, offered a hypothetical scenario for why I'm really against it and said that you aren't retarded.
I don't know why I did that, like I said it really wouldn't be that hard to read the damn post.
07-11-2012 | 08:44 AM
I just read Waxima's book. The kid has writing skills and a presence of mind far beyond most of his target audience, which means it was rather a waste of time to both write and read.
But I saw the word "G37" in there somewhere, so it's all good.

That tells me you did not read anything I said or simply do not have the logical ability to formulate a sensible response and instead chose to dismiss what I said entirely which doesn't make much sense considering I sympathized and let up on you.
And that's fine. These are two brick walls going against each other. No one is going to change anyone else's opinion. And because all of us are separated by hundreds of miles, that's really all it is, an opinion. No one's texting while driving habits are going to directly effect anyone else here because of that distance.

I was a little pissed off, so I've been holding back even posting this. But no videos from AutoX (not of me, anyways). Though Mark did try to get some I forgot to show him that there's a different button to start RECORDING. I think he tried using the Shutter button to start a video.
Anyways, there it is. No video, again. Not his fault, my fault. Oh well, next time.

Sentence structure doesn't make up for soapboxing on texting & driving. That's worse than droning on about gay marriage.

I will say good choice though, I'm a big fan of Dave Chappelle. He is an exceptionally witty individual whose old work is still funnier than the large majority of comedians today.

This is a fun catch-up today
Hmm..to spend 25 bucks on 3 Murano fluid caps or not, to get rid of the yellow ones in my bay...
Gonna buy some washers at lowes and spray 'em body color, see if I like the result...

I appreciate the compliment and it really is spot on, as evidenced by the post directly after it:
Rather than just say "that's fine but I don't care, I'm still going to text while I drive," he thought "I'll use a funny Youtube video to say STFU." And again, that's fine. This isn't a high school debate or Congress. These differences in opinion mean absolutely nothing. Nothing anyone says or does is going to affect anyone else on here outside of this website.

I do feel rather badly now because I'm always the one popping in here and dropping the SMH at people for arguing over the dumbest things. This time I got sucked into it myself. As I said, there really was no need for it to happen to begin with because this thread is the only time any of us converge in one place. Nothing that anyone does out on their own time affects anyone else here.
