    i'm curious to see what everyone's primary concern is when driving ur pride an joy -- bad drivers, theft, people keying ur car when u leave it at the mall parking lot... surely it's a little different for those who rarely actually let their car see pavement other than their garage ;)

    While driving in my neighborhood, Suburbia, I tend to look for people walking, or kids on bikes or kicking a ball in the middle of the road. Oh I don't own a Ferrari, that might be why I don't worry about bad valets or things like that.

    On a multi-lane highway, now a lot of people have cell phones with cameras in them and they get real close to you, at speed, and concentrate on aiming their phone to take a pic and they don't pay attention to staying in their lane. This happens quite often now whenever I'm going down a stretch of highway/freeway at 65 - 70 mph or so.

    I normally wave and smile but the whole time they are next to me I'm focused on where their wheels are heading and where are my escape routes as they drift left & right a bit.

    When I park it, I'm looking for a spot where an elderly person won't drive into it. That's about it.

    My biggest concern is trying to steer accurately whilst texting with one hand and drinking my Starbucks Mocha Double Latte with the other.

    My primary concern is always the biological element of the other vehicles on the street. To quote the great Ron 'Tatersalad' White: "You can't fix stupid."

    People that just seem oblivious to the rest of the world... Usually dialed in on their cellphone.

    Hang up and drive!
