I’m terribly sorry for the young woman who lost her life based on this story. Growing up my worries while driving were drunks, addicts, and channel hoppers with their radios. I still believe cars were safer back in the day as they say now as they were heavier, less complex / easier to repair, made of steel not plastic, and forgive me, but made in America by humans. What pride does a Robot have in its work? Moving along, we truly were less rushed, distracted, stressed, required to use our brain as we had no choice. Driving is a privilege, a responsibility to not only yourself, but to every other person on the road. Whether that person is young, old, foreign, chooses to drive / obey every traffic law to the “letter,” has a brand new Bentley, or a 30 year old jalopy. Respect everyone else on the road! Keep a special EYE out, and EAR out for MOTORCYCLES / BICYCLISTS!!! I am a retired 911 Dispatcher, I have 24 years of experience to my name. The year Illinois made texting, and driving illegal; I worked the New Year’s shift where my department’s officer wrote the first ticket in the state. If I recall it was approximately 3 minutes after midnight…
Does anyone know if we can bring coolers into the park and should we bring lawn chairs? Also is the paid parking tickets we bought online for grass areas better suited for trucks than sedans?
Hey! - Coolers with nonalcoholic beverages are welcome (subject to search at entry). - Vehicle permits are one per vehicle, entry per person is FREE. There is free parking off-site with a shuttle provided. - You're welcome to bring a chair! There is not seating provided, the event will be held outsite. (Whether permitting)
The Bird (was the yellow Camaro. She was a V-8. I bought her and then I graduated to another car and then we passed it on to you.) she had a plug that would go out the same plug. All the time I would keep an extra set of plugs several and a ratchet in the car. I would change out the spark plug when I had to. Oof lol. And she had a black bra remember that yes I named her the bird. And yes, she was well a she. Ha Sidenote, I remember the first time you took me out to the street races with you and you told me if the cops come jump into someone’s car and you will find me later. It never came to that, but that was always the plan. I miss the 80’s n 90’s running cars more freely. It’s in our DNA.
Very sad. So many young people have died like her. Under most circumstances, texting and driving is more dangerous than drinking and driving. We need to make the laws against texting and driving just (if not more) punitive than drinking and driving.
I keep my phone in my purse in the backseat and that is where it stays. It’s not worth it, you can kill yourself or someone else. The phone call or text can wait.
