Thanks Bob for your feedback, I appreciate it. I know I sounded funny but I
was just trying to be consistent with my logic, any time you
maneuver/control any moving object to me it's called driving, it is English
that screws people, hehee.. Riding means seating and do nothing like the
passengers doing, they ride the bus, and airplane etc.. Hehee...
