Re: [MBZ] The moron begs to differ.
Umm, whats wrong is your an asshole. I can't believe you've got the gall to ask for help on your car after calling everybody on the list a moron. This is a good example of my basic distaste for chatrooms and discussion forums. If you said half this crap to people in public you wouldn't have any teeth left. However put you on the internet and you're mister big man who can dish out insults and knows everything about everything and screw anybody who disagrees. -Curt Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2005 17:17:29 -0700 From: "Gabriel S." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] The moron begs to differ.

Gabriel, I gave you the benefit of the doubt and I guess I will again, apparently you don't notice it but calling us morons constitues as a flame. Your emails come off as VERY unpleasant. I'm also stunned at your massive ego, you've been driving for 10 years and seem to think you know everything. The only thing I know is that theres plenty I don't know. I've had 2 flat tires in my 11 years of driving. Once was a perfectly good tire on my pickup that got a screw in it and started going flat at 90mph. I found out about it when the handling on the truck got VERY squirrely. Fortunately the highway was basically empty, it was 25 miles to the next exit. The other time was a perfectly good tire on a trailer that caught a piece of wire from a blown tire tread that came off the semi in front of me. I pulled well off onto the grass because there was a flat spot, it was a good 50 miles to the next exit. One time the oil pressure sensor on my pickup went with no warning. Oil pressure dropped immediately. I killed the engine and pulled over, it wasn't busy so I could troubleshoot and continue with wildly fluctuating oil pressure. The next exit was 15 miles... All I can guess is that you've never actually BEEN anywhere to know that in some places, unlike LA, you can go for a long time between exits. There have been times I've driven places and gone an hour without seeing another car. I-95 in Maine north of Bangor comes to mind. Another was a highway that I can't remember the designation of in Colorado.

You obviously don't drive that stretch of highway often. South of Lost Hills before Lebec is usually rather congested at the beginning of a weekend, and weather makes this much worse. Even on some stretches of urban highway in the bay area (like on 280 or 680), there are stretches of 3-4 miles with no exits. I drive by one every morning. There are reasons the sign says 'emergency parking only'. It is not a bat lane or a drunk lane, though some bay area drivers would have you believe otherwise. K

Gabriel S. wrote: you should never even change your tire in the "emergency lane"...you should slowly drive to the next exit which is most likely less than half a mile away. This tells me a lot about the limited driving conditions you've experienced. I've driven in places where exits are often more than 20 miles apart. I agree it's stupid to change a flat on the shoulder if there's an exit nearby, because the shoulder isn't a healthy place to be, but that's not always an option.

you should never even change your tire in the "emergency lane"...you should slowly drive to the next exit which is most likely less than half a mile away.
