Ken, I didn't think you were anything close to Santa Claus until you made this thread happen.
What can I say? I'm still standing! No weapon against me shall prosper! I am more than a conqueror!!!
I don't care to sit by the window on an airplane. If I can't control it, why look?
^Ok, which means, I should simply place the 'n' at the end of S___ Claus so that it becomes Satan Claus. That's eerie.... and your second line of description too - Eerie!

I would like to see the stats from insurance companies to see which ethnicities do get into more accidents.
Oh, they have it compiled. They just can't publish even the sightest hint of that information in any official form or price anybody differently because of it.
OK. I don't know if this anecdote counts as glorification of Asian driving, but Asian driving is the theme. I'll leave it for you to decide whether or not it's glorious.
I have a friend named Alice. She's from China. In November, Alice became the proud owner of a brand new Smart car.
I admit that I've been curious about these glorified (heh) golf carts since I first saw them in the DA VINCI CODE movie a few years ago, but until Alice got hers, I didn't know anybody who owned one. Just before Christmas, Alice caught me snooping into the windows of her Smart car in the parking lot.
Alice knew I was curious about the car because I'd asked her many questions about it since she bought it, so she made me an offer: she'd take me for a ride in it if I bought her lunch that day.
Lunch for a ride in the Smart car? Hell, yeah!
So Alice got behind the wheel and I took the passenger seat. She took us onto the freeway, where we were soon surrounded by fast-moving traffic, including a number of sizable trucks.
I don't think I've ever been as afraid for my life as I was during the twenty minutes we were on the freeway.
Naturally, I came back in one piece (to tell this tale three weeks later), and Alice got her lunch. I also fulfilled my curiosity about Smart cars (and concluded that I'll probably never buy one).
asians are the worst drivers
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Driving a Smart car on the freeway is like running into battle with leather armour where everybody else is wearing chain mail or better.
It was actually worse than that. I felt *naked*.
Alice, however, knew no fear. She took full advantage of the Smart car's nimbleness and small size to get between those big, heavy trucks.
I don't know if she was trying to impress me with her driving skills or not. She scared the hell out of me, though.
You guys... this is the GLORIFICATION thread!
I just love how you Captivate My Mind
Self reminder - Update blog more often and continue editing/writing for TOV fanfic.
Is she young, hot, and single? If so, go for it Ken. Good luck.

I actually think Smart Car is good for people who are single and live in small town/city and only drive locally.
That is pretty cool but I wouldn't want to be in her car though.

STOP using DHMO! It kills innocent lives!
you surely haven't been to indonesia (or india some say), where we had many happy times on motorcycle.. taking over lorries, without helm, in a freeway. and sometimes we take our 2 years old toddler on the ride also...
