Well, the other day, this old couple pulled up in a buick. LITERALLY 15 minutes later, they walked in. 15 minutes after THAT, they were done ordering their one sub. That's old.

You've also gotta consider, my dad's only 21 years older than me, so I've still got ancient relatives

Not sure I am getting you message.

Did they inconvenience you?
Do they owe you some kind of apology?
Did these people bother you?

Nobody is saying anything negative about old people. I'm just pointing out that they're generally slow. I was using said couple as an example, since you asked what my definition of old was. My assumption is you're in your 60's, probably getting offended that I'm saying old drivers that are slow are annoying. The main focus of that is the fact that they're slow. You can be old and driving and fine, but if you're too old to drive the speed limit, get off the road, please. I fail to see where in my post I was indicating anything about the old couple inconveniencing me. All I was saying was the amount of time it took them to get out of the car and up to my register.

Let's see...I think I get it.

Old people are Ok if they don't drive slow.
Old people are Ok if they don't take too long getting out of their car and to your register.

And...you don't like Buick's.


Got it...I think I'm done here.

anyways to answer your question, I live in south jersey in the cumberland county region, 30min from Ocean City. People drive pretty bad around here, not to mention a high population of ricers. I could even start posting rice pics I took myself on the roads in my life...
Yeah, luckily no ticket... In Central Jersey many roads are really bad, and there are a few that are good cruising roads

If your wondering the pick up truck won. The small car stopped at a gas station. But it was a close race for about 12 miles.

Cursing roads? Is that what they're called when the old folks in front of you do 15 under in their Corvette?
