I can't wait for phone use while driving to be the equivalent of a DUI in terms of punishment.
The MA senate just passed a hands-free-only law - still needs to pass the house, and be signed by the governor. Also applies to entering an address into a GPS while driving.

As you probably know we have had these laws in the UK for years the trouble is lots of morons take no notice i.e. texting and talking on mobiles while driving but if they get caught their in big trouble, at least 3 points on their licence a fine and much bigger insurance bills.

sexism definition. The belief that one sex (usually the male) is naturally superior to the other and should dominate most important areas of political, economic, and social life.

Nothing wrong about stating a simple observation. You wouldn't be racist if you said that there are more black basketball players in the NBA than Asian basketball players. This is no different. On the other hand, if you said that men are better drivers because they are better at not getting distracted by their cell phones, then some (not me) might consider that sexist.

That's pretty much the criteria I use for valets, stereo shops, detailers, etc. Anyone I let touch my car.

If they are used to working with Ferraris, Lambos, Bentleys, etc. then they get to touch my F-Type. If not, hands off.

Fortunately I live in an area where there's lots of people with that kind of expertise.

Just get the Alfa Romeo 4c. It looks stylish enough to attract attention, but you'll be the only guy who bothers buying one.

Or a 1970 AMG Gremlin. You don't see many of those either. Here's one for $60K.
