Nice pony car

A '67, right? Love the Clearwater Aqua Metallic paint job. And the white interior looked cherry! Great day to go out with the top down and enjoy the spring weather. Yeah, I got a great look at your car as you blew right through a red light in front of my nearly-fully loaded truck. I massed about 10 tons and was doing 45 through my green light when you came out of nowhere.

Lucky for you, I have decent reactions and my brakes are good. That clanging sound you heard was my entire load following the laws of physics.

Had I not seen you in time, I would have killed you. Worse, I would have totaled that classic car.

observation was once made that when horses were removed from the transportation system, so was that trait known as horse (or common) sense.
