nothing to say here.
My hobby.
No, it's not a hobby as it is my lifestyle. When you are driving a car you look atentively at the road trying to escape all bumps, water pools, mud, cracks, pot-holes, sewer manhole covers (we've got lots of them in Russia). And what happens when you meet railroad? You press the brakes! You know, brakes were invented by cowards :-)
Now let's imagine the same situation, but you are driving jeep (we won't join to this honored name all cars with high road clearance like KIA Sportage and other bullshit). Traffic light - red, front line: porsch 944, ford taurus, wrangler 2.5 (you), the light stands right before tram-lines. Red+yellow, green, START! Both cars slowely drive towards the lines and cross them at 10km/h ... phew!... wrangler starts to change gears 1...2...3 cross tram-lines...4 off we go. Yep, shure both cars will reach you later cause your max speed is only 120-130, but you are the First and maybe the next traffic light (there are lots of them in Moscow) will be also red, so you can finish also first.
Ok. You can say that you are a "good" driver, you don't break traffic laws, you don't want to go like a rocket form traffic lights. Ok. Winter. Snow banks along roads and not all parking places are cleaned up (they also do need to put the snow somewhere). Clean space is taken. If you have jeep - no problemo - you park where you wanna.
You go to the country. nothing to say here.
