suprise car

A car with no working brake lights (including the ones in the windshield too). When this car comes to a stop, it may suprise you, especially if the driver is a hard braker.

Sadly, sometimes hard braking is intentional if the driver knows his brake lights are out. If you rear end a car, you are always at fault, no matter what.
I kept an eye on the suprise car infront of me, I think the shady foreigner inside was trying to get a cheap screwjob.

skid contest

The result of tailgating. The driver who is being tailgated slams his brakes, usually randomly, to spook the tailgater. They have a 'contest' to see who ends up skidding further.
Hmm, that guy is still riding up my tail. Whoa, is that a kid about to see jump onto the street? *slam* *screeeech*

silhouette

At night, a car that usually has a dark paint job, and no headlights on. It can literally come out of nowhere, as it is nothing but a silhouette of a vehicle.
I nearly got rammed by that silhouette when I was trying to make a left at midnight... stupid drunks.

white house

A structure in Washington DC which was never reached by Canadian forces, as they were destroyed at the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain. It was burnt by British forces in the War of 1812, but a rainstorm dosed the flames.

The President lives in the White House during his term.

frostback

1) A derogatory term for a Canadian.

2) A professional who was educated in a Canadian college and is usually an immigrant.
1) Those frostbacks are so stupid they think THEY burnt the White House in 1812 in place of the British.

2) My doctor is a frostback.. He had to leave Canada because Canada can't afford to pay their professionals enough.

Blinka

A car's turning signal. Cars sold in New England may as well have these as optional instead of standard, because few people use them.
That guy decided to turn on his left blinka after he had been sitting in the middle of the road while the traffic behind him stood dumbfounded for about half a minute.

speed team

Not to be confused with the lightning rod, and usually involving more than one other car, a speed team is a group of drivers who speed on the left lane of the highway during long road trips. Usually hardened road warriors will know that the more cars that are speeding together, the less likely a state police car will pull them over, as long as they are going at a reasonable speed (80 on a 65 posted).

Called a 'team' because, if a slower float is in the left lane, they'll often all pass it on the right together. Speed teammates rarely even know each other, and more often than not the team will eventually break up when one leaves the highway.
I was speed teaming from Boston to Providence and I got there 30 minutes earlier than I expected.
