ATGATT - any limitations
« on: February 25, 2008, 05:21:50 pm »
Can one take ATGATT to far?  Is there a limit one can set and still be reasonable safe and protected?  What do you consider to be the absolute minimum and when is it just to much?

You have touched us and left us better for having known you - even if it was only briefly.

For grabbing the moment and living the day It's been way too early that you were taken away

Be careful of the words you say.
And keep them soft and sweet.
For you never know from day to day.
Which ones you'll have to eat.

Guys... protect the legs too! In a crash it is your head and legs that usually take the biggest beating... trust me I have experience in this! :-)

If you can keep your head in the midst of all this confusion, you don't understand the situation!

Ah! I see my name is called good Sir!!, I am about to lay my hands on a new product which I am told makes Autosol look like grinding paste!, I should have some in my grubby paws to-day, and will report. ;D

Dont want to ride in that at 12 in the afternoon through the desert.

Would love the screeching sound it makes on the paint of the SU(c)V as you squeeze past it in traffic...
