    things you need or not need to know about HOSS429 .. ( there may be a bit of TMI involved )
    1. i hate tailgaters .. i will brake slam a tailgater in a second .. i will turn on my turn signal and keep going just to make you back off ,, one morning a thousand years ago as i was heading to work a set of blue lights began flashing behind me ,, i stopped as soon as i could only to see the cop was talking to a car that was 3 inches from my bumper and i never knew it ..
    2. i drive my pinto in decent weather with my left arm hanging out the window in an effort to direct as much air as possible into my face as i dont have AC . i will pull in my arm at every vehicle i meet ,, a fellow i know did that as well but one time he did not pull in his arm and one of those big trucks with the side mirrors that stuck out three feet met him and nearly tore his arm off .. it just separated it from his shoulder and folded it back without tearing it off .
    3 . i have a thing about wasting water .. we only have all that was ever made when the earth was created ,, same as land .. but anyway as i drink up my 15 or 18 sudwiesers a day i have to let out a few as well .. i dont go to my toilet every time i need relief .. wasting water again thang ,, i mostly stand on my front porch or usually at my garage door and let it fly .. on more than one occasion i have realised that i was not the only within view of what i was doing .... slow day in HOSSVILLE ..
    iv`e used up all my sick days at work .. can i call in dead ?

    finally i found a new to me corolla .. after 3 mothns of gregslist and fakebook looking sunday i rode up to my local toyota dealer and saw this car sitting on the lot but it had a SOLD sticker sitting on it ,, Blahh .. today i go back up there and the same car is still sitting there and i inquire about it and the previous purchaser backed out .. someone from Ohio they said ..i said what is the cash drive away price .. 8000 $ .. i jumped all over it ,, 170 thousand miles on the meter but that did not bother me ,, mine had 220 grand when it was totaled and ran perfect ,, this car is in even better shape than mine was .. ity`s an 010 with an automatic trans ,, i got tired of swapping gears ,, the suzuki is a wonderful machine but is a gas drinker and will become a backup driver just ahead of the pinto .. i finally got a rearend in the pinto and got it to crank when cold by hot wiring the coil to a toggle switch ..iv`e gone from car poor to car rich in a matter of a few hours ..this thing is like new ,, i think it was driven one tine 7 times around the world ,

    so i guess another good thing about having these cheap fly by night insurance companies is that victims such as myself can never get in touch with the offenders insurer .. my wreck was 3 months ago and i have not heard a word from anyone .. i`m very displeased with my provider even though i only had liability ,, i`ve been with them for over 40 years and an agent is a relative of mine ,, i have called the offending persons company 2 dozen times and have waited about a week while elevator music plays .. i`m nearly at the point of hiring legal service ,, i d[d not want to go that route .. i admit i F`D up by not going to the hospital .. i had blood on my face and had a mild concussion for two weeks after but i was in shock at the moment ,, i was picking up pieces of my car while traffic was whizzing by at 70 mPH and other witnesses telling me to stop .. go to the general and save some time .. yeah but not my time !!!!

    Hoss, go back and read - random stuff #1554

    What do you expect someone from her insurance company to say to you on the phone? They won't admit any liability, it's up to you to either file a claim or hire an attorney. Your insurance, since you had only liability, has zero interest in the accident since you obviously weren't at fault, no liability. You didn't pay them to represent you for collision/comprehensive. It seems that the "file a claim" option isn't going to work for you, so you're left with "hire a lawyer" or "chalk it up to experience and forget about it."

    do all cars nowadays have the computer assisted start ? on my XL7 all you do is turn the key to start and let go and the computer takes over and finishes cranking it up .. i never knew if my 09 corolla had this feature and many times when i started it the starter would grind and even stick .. maybe it had the start assist and i was doing it wrong .. this new to me 010 i think has the same system but i cant find anything to confirm that .. a flaw i have noticed with it is that it will shift into over drive prematurely then kick back out and speed up a bit more then kick back in ,, may be my driving technique ,, i am not hard on a car ,, everybody runs off and leaves me leaving stop lights then i meet them again at the next one ..
