The hospital emergency one is pretty much the best one IMO.

sauceman, who's mom would never get a fine for speeding just because she worked at the hospital as a nurse, and the cops would give her a break.

No way. I took a pre nadel class recently and I don't know how people could possibly give birth outside of a hospital. The amount of complications and things that can go wrong made sure we're delivering at the hospital.

Nope, need to get there in a hurry and the Buick just won't cut it. In fact I may take the snows off early this weekend just in case any 53 MPH turns come up

When my wife went into labor at 4:00 am, we rushed to the hospital in her CR-V.

She delivered at 4:14 am.......on the following day :wink:.

On the other extreme, I've heard of women just dropping, never even knowing they were in labor.........

I can just see domn taking the long, twisty, way to the hospital. Wife is in labor but domn is wringing every little bit of high speed driving out of the situation.

Mrs Domn - That was a rough ride, I was sliding all over the place when you were taking those turns at 53 mph!

Domn - Sweetie, I'm not sure if this is a good time to ask, but can I buy the Comptech Sway Bar? It will increase our lateral grip by .02 g's

And reach behind and pop the door open as you reach the curb so that it dumps your wife out onto the sidewalk like what happened to Madonna in the BMW Film "Star"
