    the implication here really scares me. What she actually said was that even if she was aware it was an RR crossing she still might've been dumb enough to park her car on the tracks. Oh well, at least it seems the UK educational system is traveling in the same handbasket as the US.

          You can't trust anything but your own senses and judgement, even Google. Last time I grabbed a map online it directed me to take a road out of town that hasn't existed since the last wagon train left Bullhead City. That course would have taken me directly across the runway of our international airport!:laugh:

              When I test drove the new C6 Corvettes (I decided to stay with my C5), they had all the touch screen stuff. When it first comes up, there's a long delay with the standard "please don't sue me" screen stating that you shouldn't operate it while the car is running. Among other things, it controls your heating and air conditioning. :doh: I have no desire to go with this computer screen stuff. I have a heads up display on my windshield so I don't have to take my eyes off the road. Why would I want controls that I couldn't operate by touch? Marketing... :~

                      Nah, we've been in a drought for 5 years at least and all the horses died off years ago. Fortunately they were delicious...
