  • Bonus: E6 Revisited - Driving With a Purpose!
    Apr 27 2025

    With Amy out of town this week, Tim revisits one of the first episodes of the podcast: Some Say "Tomato, Tim Says Drive With a Purpose!"

    With the count Daughters 3, Dad 0, Tim claims victory when it comes to totaling your car. Of course Amy points out that in two of the three cases, Tim was the listed owner, if not the driver, of the cars in question.

    On a serious note, according to the Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), around 3,300 people die in crashes attributed to distracted driving. Additionally, 289,000 people were injured in these types of crashes. It's worth noting that these statistics likely underestimate the problem, as crash data often relies on drivers self-reporting their distractions to law enforcement.

    When you get behind the wheel be single-minded in what're doing. And please, never text and drive - It Can Wait.
