In Oregon, the vehicle with the biggest tires ALWAYS has right of way, always!  Feel free to challenge this.   ;)

Unless I'm driving one of the other vehicles. I am really tired of drivers who do not know right-of-way laws and so wave everybody else through stop signs. If I come to a stop sign and whomever has right-of-way over me doesn't start moving within 100 milliseconds after I come to a stop I start moving again...

I have a solution for the wave-throughs (aka control freaks): I sit there and stare at them. It's become a game to me. If they have the right of way, and they try to wave me through, I'll stay put and stare at them until they finally go. The longer it takes the more points I get.

Not me, I quickly size up their shoes and if mine are bigger, I go.  Now, if there is some fancy sports car in the mix, he most certainly can give the pedal a squirt and beat me through the intersection, but he must do so before I am in the way.   ;D

Ugh.  The worst are the morons that come to a stop while already in a roundabout to wave someone else in.

I'm short a molar due to a little old lady who put her can into reverse in a traffic circle because she missed her exit from it, and I was behind her on a motorcycle. Also, her car was shortly thereafter short on some glass...

Thanks everybody for the feedback! I'm going to extend the tongue and also tighten the cable lock I use on the revo.

I like my little mini suv. That thing gets 32 MPG on my commute to work and gets 25 mpg pulling the kayak trailer. 28 if I don't have the top trees on. I'd think about a truck if I didn't spend so much time on the freeway.

It's just fuel.  Don't let that get in the way of a haul monster with some pavement authority.   ;)

You'll be good with cable pulled tight to keep your Revo from moving.   :icon_thumright:

Fuel costs money and I'm cheap!  ;D
