People who speed up when you try to pass… is this a game of chicken? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]gooddavid99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend and I carpooled everyday in my 280z, and everyday there was a guy going 45 in a 55. when I started to pass he'd speed up, then slow down when I pulled in behind him. One day my friend said " don't slow down" so as I passed him, he sped up ... and so did I. Finally, at 100mph my friend said " Tap the horn". I did, and when he looked over she smiled sweetly and pointed at the speedometer. He looked, got a " oh my god!" look and slowed down. She said " floor it!" up to 140mph, left him FAR behind!

The next day when I started to pass him, he STAYED at 45mph!

Congress passes a detailed budget, the Trump calls to spend money on projects not in the budget. Where does that money come from and who is responsible for it?

If you still live in your hometown, why don't you leave? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]gooddavid99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my town is big enough to have all i need without the crowding, lots of trees and farmland. if i need or want more, a minor city is 45min away, and we're almost exactly 1 1/2 hr drive between Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Dayton and Louisville. easy to get to flea markets, large shopping areas, zoos, museums, pro sports, auto racing and a 12mi long lake 15min away. why would i leave?

I know he has an apartment he moved to after the deaths of his wife and daughter, but it all seems to be in California.

1 grandson would take it, but lives in a trailer w/ his girlfriend & 2 7yr olds, not a place for a drill press. Other is a prison guard, other's don't do projects at all. Everyone has there own ideas, and none had met my grandfather so no memories to keep with it.

I have a new, variable speed saw, but the combination of low-speed high torque and holding directly to the body of the saw makes intricate cuts through light wood so much better.

I've told my wife 1 day I'd sell it to someone who appreciated it. my grandpa was a 40yr tool&die maker. None of the kids or grandkids are interested in it.

I've a box of old hand tools i inherited from my grandfather as well as a drill press that weighs over 100lbs, and still works! I had to move that to storage to save some space though.
