• Anecdotally, both on the roads and speaking to the pickup vehicle owners as part of my job, they are often unpleasant people, I mean drivers of the L200 or Navara. I think there may be a penile compensation about the drivers of vehicles called "Shogun" or "Warrior" or whatever stupid name they think up. Macho and threatening.

    That could account for the strange looks I get when allowing other cars to go before me at intersections. Don't get the same strange looks from people when doing exactly the same thing driving the car. There are also, sometimes, OMG, its a woman double takes and stares when getting in or out of the pickup. Is there any anecdotal information as to how many of those unpleasant people are men vs women?

    I am starting to see now, though, that if I can work a bit on this driving one handed with that hand being in the 12 position, I should soon be able to have a conversation on the phone in my other hand, while using the phone's video camera to record a little light Saturday afternoon cyclist squishing. I guess I should also be working on some more more manly traits ... maybe get some checked flannel shirts, and work on my spittin ... If I get really good at it I may be able, in time, to get a cyclist as I thunder past at very very very close quarters ... might still be quite hard to do if I'm trying to get this right through the passenger side window, so maybe it would be better to go for undertaking the cyclist, who will then be conveniently near the driver window.

    one question though ... do we really have to move to a council estate and decorate the front yard with broken appliances??
