For some strange reason (worth a psych class term paper Id say) the Last cars to turn on their headlights are the ones which most needed to. They tend to match the color of the road or darkness. Whether its darkness, rain, fog, whatever. Check it out next time.

I think there is something about the choice of colors. People who choose bright cars want to be seen, and people who choose dark ones want to stay stealthy or unnoticed? I dont know why. Thats for someone else to try and figure out.

If anyone DID do a study, Id like them to do it in a parking lot so they can question the people coming in. Question all of the "wrong" ones to the theory, and see if maybe they arent the ones who chose the color of their car.

The drivers of the fancier cars (Mercedes,BMW) tend not to use their turn signals and are most likely the ones that will cut you off.

Maybe they are using their turn signals, I just need to buy those infrared goggles to see them!

If you are ethnic, you will buy a lowered Honda or Nissan, stick a muffler on it and call it a "sports car"

33: Never start drinking scotch after you just emptied your 17th bottle of beer.

34. No matter how you cut it (no pun intended), farts are just plain funny .

35. Originality is very hard; creativity is easy. Try for the first, make sure you've got the second.
