2002 Yukon, 140k miles, Fixing up over time

[tgui]

I'm in the DC area, too, and have been for over 30 years now. I've seen it all.

My wife was born and raised and from the Fairfax family. I'm a nerd from Alaska. Let me know if you're in Fairfax city and want to meet up. We probably have tons of stories to swap!!

Much I type is in jest.

Aw yeah. Some old lady scraped half the drivers side. She was nice enough to wait for my wife to come back to the car and exchange information though. I can't complain too much. Shit happens.

At least youre not hurt. Still sucks!

I crawled under my "fixed" bumper and found loose bolts and alignment probs. Sat morning is scheduled for tons of cussing!

Seriously, though, Asians are not poor drivers due to their race, but many Asian-born individuals are poor drivers in the eyes of most Americans simply because many of the common 'rules of the road' which are respected here don't apply or not valued culturally in much of Asia. They do not grow up seeing, understanding, respecting and/or following traffic signals, turn-lanes, right-of-way, etc.

That's true but common sense has to kick in at some point, at least I hope.

Im a crazy white dude from alaska and my wife is asian and from asia ....she sucks at driving.
Or shall I say sucked before she met me. I taught her over the years and she has greatly improved.
Most of her family still sucks at driving.
Then I go to asia and see how they drive.....wow way more skilled than americans. And way more crazy.

I grew up in Anchorage, nice to see AK peeps here. I didn't mean to start a race war, I was just pretty pissed at life when I posted!!

I'm ok with the $$ now. I'm still thinking of selling and taking a break from cars. If someone were to offer $4500 I'd sell in a heart beat.

Ahh well...

Oh, drove 150 miles in 100F temps today. Trans never got over 130F. Not bad!
