Somewhere he can do some thinking - some soul searching to make him realize that he is not a starting quarterback in the NFL. A good change of pace/decoy maybe, but not an every down guy.

Living in Louisiana, I usually just have to turn this knob until it points to the red area. And stay home during the rare snowstorm.
I guess some of us really do think alike, although you may have chosen the better car.
I happen to be a software developer by trade and my current car is a Lancer Sportback. Ideally though, I would have something a little... simpler.
The I-10 bridge there is no cakewalk either, but it is the crazy Baton Rouge traffic that iduces stress there. Three lanes in each direction, but people flying from one side to the other to make/miss the exits on the BR side make things scary indeed
A few links:
There isn't a single bridge that stands out, but I-540 in Arkansas between Ft. Smith and Bentonville is a very intimidating stretch of interstate. From my limited travels, most highways through the mountains in Arkansas and southern Missouri were build by cutting through the hills and filling the valleys with the…
Nearly impossible, but not completely. I was in a pretty bad rollover accident as a teen and there was this moment where I knew that there was no longer anything I could do to keep the car on the road - that my fate was in the hands of the laws of physics. My instinct was not to brace for impact, but to cover my face…
But think of all the money you saved by not having to buy gifts for a significant other or worse.... children. I think you come out ahead on this one.
During a four state road trip with my six year old over the Thanksgiving holiday that covered nearly 2,000 miles, I feel especially qualified to answer this question. We played numerous rounds of the alphabet game (most of them ended at 'X', but we made it all the way through two of them [my daughter won them both {I…
The "You can't tell me what to do" attitude is hardly a new phenomena. I would wager decent money that adolescents have held this belief since the dawn of civilization. I would even counter that some of the best (and worst) people in human history are the ones that never lost that attitude.
I looked at some of the official responses to other petitions on the site and a good number of those did not get close to 25,000 signatures. I don't think that getting fewer that the threshold amount removes the possibility of a response. I believe that there will be eyes on this petition regardless. Especially since…
That seems to be a design that never goes out of style..............
Agreed. The question is slamming the era a bit, but I think there are quite a few gems from the mid to late 90s. Of course, I could be biased because I first started appreciating cars during that time, but there are some real gems there.
A lot of cars from the mid 90's belong on this list, but this one is my favorite. I had a 1987 Celica that I destroyed in a nasty rollover in 1999 and after that accident I deperately wanted to replace that car with a 6th generation Celica. I REALLY wanted to get my hands on a GT-Four, but I had just as much of a…
Most people in the US haven't experienced it since there are only eight of them in the US and two of them are in Springfield, MO. They replaced two of the most congested standard diamond interchanges there with diverging diamonds and they have done wonders for traffic flow. Wiki article on how they flow:
And here is the after. It doesn't look much cleaner, but it is a hell of a lot easier to navigate now.
It has been completely rebuilt, but before the reconfiguration, the Grandview Triangle in Kansas City was the worst I had ever seen. Four major divided highways converging at the same location and the best the original engineers could come up with was to keep adding layers. The picture here is the old interchange…
Not to pick nits or distract from an otherwise humorous discussion, but I69 will exit Texas in the north into Louisiana - just south of Shreveport - before continuing on to the northeast to Memphis and further points north. I69 will be about 120-150 miles away from Texarkana when it leaves Texas. ([www.i69dotd.com])
