not just an IQ test, but a common sence test. i really think that if we had a drivers program like they do in Germany, we would be better off. Cant get your dl until your 21, have to pay a few grand for it, it would make people appriciate it more

I was wishing for a rocket launcher mounted inside my grill this morning... sort of like a James Bond car. One in the rear would be good too for the tailgaters. Maybe it's just me, but ever since I slammed into the concrete barrier two years ago (on what appeared to be dry pavement), I'm extra cautious now. And it wasn't that I was being a slow poke today, I was doing the posted limit... It was snowing and blowing and you could only see about 50 feet ahead.

It's probably not too nice of me, but I would have loved to see the idiot in the 4x4 that tailgated me then blew past me wind up in the ditch!

Rob, a good deterrant to tailgaters when you get your new truck, is to install a drop hitch reciever, then leave the hitch in it!!

i wouldnt doubt it. The kids are trying to convince me that we need to go to Hawaii for their spring break instead of Seattle, but they aren't going to win Gonna drive up there going through SD and seeing Mt Rushmore, then on the way back go through Yellowstone. Got permission to look for a suburban that we can buy in Feb, her car or my truck doesnt have the room. all 5 of us plus 2 dogs, nah too long of a trip for the buick

That's a nice trip. We did Yellowstone, then over to the Black hills a few years ago. Spent about a week up at Custer.

Thats funny that you mentioned that, when i was living in Seattle 2 years ago, i actually did that, not on purpose, just never took it out (never do) and then it happened, sitting at a light, it changed to green, and evidently i wasn't going soon enough

You'll have to let me know, before you go, so I can tell you what to spend, and not spend, you money on up there! And where not to stay also!

Guess what's on the list of things not to pay to see..!! This was such a rip off. You can see it just as good from the highway, they want a ton of money just to go in, and all you get is to see a visitors center that wasn't that great. Maybe they should have spent the money FINISHING the monument first, instead of wasting it on a visitors center!! It is cool, but you can get great pics from the highway for nothing!!

Mount Rushmore, on the other hand, is worth the admission price to go in and see!
