    I think this was filmed during rush hour when the CMA country music festival came to Nashville.

    WOW I thought rush hour here was bad! LOL

    I watched someone in a car wash today, maybe not a touron, but definately a total MORON. Signs everywhere saying put the car in N and keep off the brake. Well, took them (car full of 4 young people) about 5 mins to figure out how to put the code in off your receipt. Then the driver proceeded to keep her foot on the brake, so the track under the wheel wouldnt push her forward. After about a minute of her foot on the brake she decided maybe letting her foot off the brake in REVERSE would work better. Well no that didnt work either. So they are hanging out the car doors looking at the track ON THE BRAKE AGAIN, watching the track underneath roll under the wheels, looking at me, dumbfounded. Finally something clicked and she took her foot off the brake and got her car wash done. A 2 min task turned into a 10 minute ordeal. Ugghhhhhh makes my brain hurt.. but also gave me a good laugh.
    If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...

    Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
    You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
    Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
    Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

    Loved the video and can not believe it took two years for someone to respond. Where do we sign up? Actually it might be easier to start a scrap Olympics, trailers loaded with scrap. That would be a mine field.

    I'm betting on Skyline for the win. Tailgate will be held prior to the event.
