When I was younger, I had a tendency to drive cars to death.

But, yesterday, I came across one where I was the third car in a row heading one direction (for argument's sake, we'll say we were westbound, but I really have no idea since we were in twisty-turny mountain roads...) and one car was headed eastbound. The leader of the pack with the westbound traffic arrived at the bridge first and proceeded onto the bridge without hesitation and the eastbound car waited by default. I figure the bridge was maybe as long as 10-15 vehicles... it took maybe 30-60 seconds to cross the bridge. In other words, it really didn't add much time onto the wait if the second two cars went, but if either of the second two paused to let opposing traffic go, they would have waited for both groups to cross- roughly 1.5-2 mins. The question is, should the second and third cars in my group have gone? Or should we have waited since the eastbound car was at the bridge before us?&n... less

I hope to know how long I should expect it to last.I plan on trading it out someday for another Lexus SUV with actual 4x4 - a Lexus LX or GX. The year model range will be between 2008 - whatever year is 5 years before the date of purchase.

Over the course of my life, I found out the hard way what it’s like to sit next to a speeder, a tail-gater, a rude driver, an inconsiderate driver, unsafe drivers, and once, a driver who happily boasted that he was driving even though his license was suspended. Each of those incidents were one time only that I made sure did not repeat.
