I don’t care if all the drivers here came from somewhere else. Didn’t we all learn from the same manual, or is Arizona corrupt in that area too? Don’t we all have to pass the same test to get our licenses?
I’ve come up with some theories on, and may even start teaching, “Driver Psychology” since I spend most of my time looking in the rear views, and after all… “Hindsight is 20/20″.
Allow me to list a few of the “Obstacles” and then follow up with my “Solutions”
OBSTACLE :(
- Lane Changing: People here SPEED UP and go IN Front of the car next to them, in Colorado we SLOW DOWN and get Behind the car. (after all I’m getting off the hwy. which implies eventually stopping anyway.)
SOLUTION :)
- I like to do the Good ‘ol “Switcheroo” on ‘em; speed up to make ‘em think I’m gonna get in front of ‘em (Causing driver McSneerly to speed up also) then I slam the brakes to let ‘em pass and feel cool about being a jerk, and before they can counter act, I slide in right behind ‘em!
OBSTACLE :(
- Our Tailgating Culture: Speaking of changing lanes, I’m forced to FORCE my way in. When attempting the Good ‘ol Lane Change, drivers on the side will spot the blinker and respond by Speeding up! (I love it! It’s kinka like saying “Ew yer not gettin in front of me!”)
SOLUTION :)
- Haven’t got one, so refer back to “Lane Changing” (but being an electrician, I’ve mentally drawn up plans to install 3 more horns on my car so all 4 sides are covered)(Love layin on the horn!)
OBSTACLE :(
- Intersections: This one could go for days, but I’ll keep it short. When the arrow turns Red, people “Ride each others’ Coattails” squeezing 2 or 3 more cars through, and nobody eggs these people!! Or how about when the yellow light goes to red and the “turners” blocking the intersection bring their train through while my light is now green! (I just need a heavy duty grill guard) P.S. the “turners” can’t turn cuz the “yellow light runners” are bringin their train through, resulting in a late, but persistent train of turners who MUST TURN due to the blockage of the intersection.
SOLUTION :)
- Purposeful Ignorance receives a Bird and some Cow Bell! (Although it has little effect, I love layin on the horn!)
OBSTACLE :(
- Phoenix is a grid: So why do so many Chicken Headed drivers fly across the street to make their exit? I always enjoy the wake up call of an unexpected “Cut-off maneuver”, but when they then lay on the brakes I find myself wishing I had a dozen eggs handy! (Cuz I throw left handed)
SOLUTION :)
- My Happy Meal is not a life or death situation, so realizing that just 1 block up there WILL BE another chance to turn around always brings a sigh of relief, realizing that my happy meal will still be there, oh sure, it’ll be under that heat lamp for a whoppin 45 seconds longer, but at least I didn’t wreck or get my car egged by pulling stunts just to get there as quick as humanly possible.

We get a lot of sun and it only seems sensible to buy solar panels. A lot of poeple say that it costs like 15-20k to install them.

I was wondering if someone knew if thats true, and how much would it cost and which ones should i install. I am very confused and it seems with the investment i will have to put in it, i should learn more about it.

Thanks to everyone.
