My first several decades were spent somewhere else - SOMEWHERE BETTER - and during that time I was only hit ONCE and NEVER hit anybody.

In the few years that my family and I have lived in Texas:

  • I've been hit twice while behind the wheel; once while stopped for a red light and once stopped in "stop and go" traffic.
  • My wife has been hit twice while behind the wheel.
  • My wife was inside a fast food restaurant when a moron in a pickup trick backed away from the building, across the traffic lane, and put his trailer hitch through her radiator.
  • I've had to replace 3 windshields thanks to crap kicked up by SUVs and pickups - NEVER had to replace them elsewhere


When you teach Texans how to drive like intelligent people, I'll stop bashing them, even when they deserve it.
