Sharon...my my my. You seem to have issues with people just trying to make their neighborhoods a better place to live. Granted, I respect your opinion and see the merits in which you say them, although with about as much finesse as a bowling ball through a window and twisting my postings to your agenda. (BTW, what is your point?). I am not talking about Rt. 4, 235 or anywhere else besides the CRE gate.

I dont live right on the gate entrance but very close enough to hear these people regularly and it wasn't a problem until recently. That's all I was saying. Merely trying to shed some light on a problem within my community as a concerned homeowner and attempting to help someone from getting hurt in the future. If that's complaining in your book, well then, so be it.

Then as a concerned homeowner go do something about it...let us know what & how it works out. Complaining here won't help. In the past I've had problems with speeders, inconsiderate drivers, and dogs running loose while I'm out walking my own dog. Most people comply if you talk to them nicely - others are hopeless, and I know to jump out of the way when I see 'em coming.

twisting my postings to your agenda.

I'm not the one with an agenda, nor have I twisted any of your posts. Go back and read them yourself.

Oops....disregard!

Dude you are way off.

Every neighborhood had their share of speeders and stop sign runners. We don't hold the world's record here in CRE. I guess you never heard of the Rt. 235 & Rt 4 speedways? I frequently use that gate, rarely do I see anything of what he complains about. I've seen more people blow thru stop signs outside of our gates.

I respectfully disagree. Try the front gate's 3 way stop if youwant to see rudeness to the max. Speaking of worlds records, count the number of drivers that don't even slow up for the stop sign from CRC to RT 760. CRC has more than it's share of lousy, rude drivers. Notice for yourself how quick the centerline paint is worn off especially on the corners.

You can join up with SC to fix the problem. Good luck.

Here's where you can start. Join a committee, we have quite a few and they are always looking for volunteers. Try the Neighborhood Watch Com. and see if they are willing to help, if not - seek like minded neighbors and start a traffic control committee and go from there.

.. I went to school parents sold it and got my sister a car, now im stuck with a 2 seater with no trunk space

Was the Miata to much of a chick car for her?

 

[aps45819]

I just painted a Maxwell House coffee can for my tailpipe with high temp chrome paint, and wrote "Type R" with a Sharpie right under the Z71 decal on my truck. I am hoping to get into the low 25's with it now.

When I was at the Nissan dealer getting my fog light installed, I considered getting one of their SE Type R emblems for the back of my pickup

She felt the bimmer was better suited for her... She got tired of the manual....

Like the MazdaSpeed version, have driven one, but was unable to explore the handling dynamics due to it's owner being with me.

I want to cry when I see peformance vehicles that have an automatic tranny. They're getting harder to find. When I got my truck, nearest manual in MD was Annapolis and only 3 were available in state (or so the dealer told me).

we all know BMWs are made in an asian country as well, making them rice.

Mine was built in South Carolina.
