That would be more effective if there was a post above it hahahaha.

Poor pogo. You try so hard.

Which is why you fail so magnificently.

Voilà. Now there is.

Whether it's above or not depends on how you have your pages set. Nevertheless you get the point, and there's nobody left except you and HereWeTrollAgain anyway.

Your points exist only in the dim recesses of your own mind, dear.

And it's always correct in there too.

You know how it is.

No, "unaware" and "heavily involved" are two different things.

You were heavily involved in the incidents you're aware of.

You were unaware of the rest.

You're young and stupid, you still think you're invincible. You're not and there are situations you cannot exert any meaningful control over.

Livestock and wildlife along the rode is one of those situations. I worry for your safety..and the safety of others... given your idiotic sense of infallibility on the road.

Incidentally, evasive action is impossible on a narrow road if there is oncoming traffic.

Um, I'm older than you m'dear. Don't worry about me. I'm flattered at your concern for my well being but of course I'm used to that by now.

And yes I am unaware of incidents that have have never happened. But I tell you what, one of my F-150 encounters was on such a two-lane with a motorcycle coming the other way. The F-150 turned off to the right and then decided he wasn't turning right after all and wanted instead to be in the space where I was. We got out of that with nobody impacted except for my cracked taillight lens.

I go out there prepared for this kind of thing. So sue me.

If you are aware of everything that goes on around you how do you maintain a two second cushion between your car the car following you?

Noxious gas.

I thought you were really young. I thought somebody told me that.

Anyway, I've driven many, many miles. I've seen a lot of cocky drivers who think they know it all do some really incredibly stupid things. The whole "I can evade anything" attitude goes with that. Those are the assholes who evade off the shoulder or evade into oncoming traffic.

If Pogo was a good a driver as he thinks he is he wouldn't be talking the way he is.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

I dont care if you're Mario Andretti. Sometimes you cant avoid em because they do some stupid shit,like run off the the road and then right back in front of you.

That's basically what this F-150 did. Both of them.

That's the whole point -- when that does happen I want to be able to take that evasive action on a moment's notice. And I wouldn't have that capability were I in what they're driving - or in an inverted bathtub. Therefore I make sure I'm driving something that can handle it. And it works - repeatedly.

And when that happens,which it will if you drive in areas with a heavy deer population,I'd rather be in a truck.

You do what you want. I was describing what works for me based on my experience. And I live in a heavy deer population. My back yard is bordered by a federal forest. They're all around here. Sometimes if they're hanging around when I get home I chase them up the driveway (with the car) back into that forest. Once again-- I'm not a passive bystander in all of this.

So you're telling me you can dodge a deer while going 60 mph? Bullshit!

Not only does he have superior reaction speeds, he drives a car that defies the laws of physics.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

If only you were better at it.

Surely you've had enough practice, given your advanced years.

Eh, what's that? Nurse! I need my ear trumpet. Eye trumpet. Whatever.

I've never hurt anybody including myself. What's to be "better" at?

Are you sure? Did you know that, under certain conditions, traffic becomes a dilatant fluid? It is entirely possible for you to step on your brakes and cause an accident that you never see.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

Let the record show 'twas MilliHenry who came up with the idea of Godwining a thread about cars. Like he tried to politicize a thread about gardening.
Whatever happened to those gardening troll posts Henery? They seem to have been consumed by beneficial insects. Or perhaps ... Hitler.



What I'm telling you that I can make my own judgments and decisions.
And I wasn't talking to you anyway.

This just in: what I drive and how I do it ain't your business. Once again, you worry about your own world and I'll manage mine. Take your fascist control freak fantasies elsewhere. I got this.

Happy motoring.

I dont give a fuck if you ride a unicycle. Just dont tell me you can dodge a deer while driving 60 mph.Because it's not possible without wrecking in the process.

Not for you, I get that.

Oh well.

You brought in "60 mph", not me. You may not know this in downtown Peoria but roads where you go 60 mph and roads with deer strolling across them are jest not the same roads.

I have seen deer on interstate highways in parts of Texas, maybe you should get out more.

No, but it does defy the laws of Strawmen.

You'll have to catch up for that...

Uh -- I'm not IN Indiana dood. Why would I drive for Indiana unless I'm in it? I drive according to where I am. And around here, "deer" and "60 mph traffic" simply do not coexist. Moreover, I never even brought up "60 mph". What you're looking at is a troll who's been making shit up through the whole thread. That's HIS strawman -- not mine. So cut the bullshit.

You made a simple declarative statement, to wit: "You may not know this in downtown Peoria but roads where you go 60 mph and roads with deer strolling across them are jest not the same roads." I pointed out that said statement was, in all respects, wrong.

Peoria is in Illinois, National Geographic Man. And it refers to the other person's location, not mine. And third, it's a placeholder name anyway.

SMH...

It is in Arizona.

City of Peoria, AZ

"
Do not try to swerve around an animal!
You could lose control of your vehicle and hit a tree or another vehicle — both potentially much worse than hitting a deer. If you swerve, there’s also a chance that the animal will panic and run into your path. Instead, keep your lane position and sound your horn while braking in a controlled manner."

I know a guy that totaled his car and spent a month in the hospital to avoid hitting a squirrel, and he was only going 30.

Not the one I invoked. And it's a placeholder anyway.

Great, I got one guy dictating what speed I go and now here comes another guy who wants to edit my atlas... I really don't need a copilot, thanks.

I have seen deer IN HIGHWAY MEDIANS in several states...yes, including Illinois! Think! I promise it will not hurt!

You forgot who you are talking to.

-- Fox Noise as source for driving advice?

I know exactly what my cars can do and where the limit is. Again your caring concern is heartwarming but really not necessary.

And the day I start taking driving advice from Fox Noise, rather than giving it to them, is the day I look to you for tips on diplomacy.

I was going 65 when I hit the deer with the truck.
And deer stroll onto the freeway REGULARLY.

Like I said before, the more Pogo blathers, the more obvious it is that he doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about.

And not just on this topic.

You're in Oregon. Buy a map.

And again, I never even brought up a speed. Troll boy did that. I drive for the conditions present at the time -- maybe you should too (if deer stroll out there regularly then why are you doing 65?)

The AAA gives the exact same advice, but feel free to ignore them because you think you know exactly what your car will do.

NASCAR drivers are orders of magnitude better than you at driving, and they still crash.

I can confirm, there are a lot of bad drivers out there.

Personally I wouldn't spend a day in the hospital to avoid hitting a squirrel. I get enough grief from KG for letting turkeys cross the road.

I don't care when it was brought up. What I was referencing was your remarkably idiotic comment that deer and 60 mph didn't coexist. Seriously, that is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard, bar none.

But he didn't say it, even though everyone saw it.

That's the sterling intellect who thinks I live in Peoria.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

Oh so you live in some unnamed state where there either are no freeways, or no deer.

You bet, skippy.

You're an idiot. You know it, I know it, even Mylo knows it and Mylo spends about 1/3 of her life licking herself. My point being...you're an idiot.

My location is right up there in the upper right where it's been since I got here.

And again, on the dead-end dirt road leading to my house, unless one is throwing a baseball there's no such thing as "60mph". There are deer, but since only one of those two exists, they can't coexist. And if you take that road out to the highway you'll find so many switchbacks you still can't do 60. Not even in the MINI, which is nailed to the road. Take your index finger and press it all the way down with your thumb, and you have something of a map. Try 60 on that kind of curve.

Not that any of this means anything since I never introduced the idea of 60 mph in the first place.

Perhaps Mylo can 'splain that out for ya. Here, give this to Mylo:
Woof. Grrrowrowr troll yap yap bark bark "60 mph" whimper yap yap. Grrowr yap yap "Peoria" Whimper yap grworl bark "deer" yap yap "fucking idiots".

They have freeways in Louisiana, and, where I come from, the entire state would qualify as "around here."
