Other - Cars & Transportation - January 2007

On one particular exit ramp (with no designated merge area), I have to excellerate rapidly in order to merge with oncoming traffic. On a normal, dry day this isn't an issue. The real problem emerges with it's raining and the ground is wet... my tires spin on the wet pavement (and I go nowhere fast) if I try to accelerate too fast.

So in order to merge and prevent this from happening, I gently press the gas pedal so I'm able to make the merge *slowly*. But a slow merge is dangerous though... the oncoming traffic is often heavy, so a fast acceleration would be safest. I'd hate to pull out slowly in front of a speeding car (for obvious reasons) and not be able to clear the area in time.

I drive a Ford Explorer. I've checked the air pressure and everything is normal. I've replaced 2 tires in the last 8 months and the tread is about even on all 4 (but they're all used tires). I'm wondering if brand new tires would help. Any suggestions? I have to travel this route every day

Please read this passage,
they won,t let me drive when pi55ed,whats the best non alcoholic drink that gets me smashed and leaves no smell?




they?
the police?my dad? my dog? or the voices in my head?
where does it state that a motorised vehicle will be used in this statement, it doesn,t! quite the opposite.
does it prove that I have or attempted to do so under the influence?
who is to be harmed in this passage,other than myself?
would a non alcoholic drink put anyone under the influence?
does this statement imply anything other than your own mis-conception ?
so are you reading or judging?
have I proved a point?

If you roll a standard shift car with the key on and pop the clutch with it in gear it will start. Why does that happen and why can't you do that in a car with an automatic transmision?

I can get both right now. Plan on keeping this for a while. Maintenance and all that other junk is no problem for me. Help me choose. Oh, and I don't care on age of either vehicle. Just performance, looks, and the less I see on the road, the better.
