This way, people are passing me and I rarely have to slow down for a fuck head that's doing 105 in the left lane.

I spend 14 hours a week on the 401 and would be scared to death to do 110 most of the time. Even the trucks that are allegedly governed for 110 go faster then that and I would be afraid of one of them creeping up on me.
Now, most of my long drives are done at 5 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon so traffic isn't usually an issue.

Well I haven't found a pedestrian yet that I couldn't get past! (Some were close though)

It brings me back to the time a cop followed me for about 4 kilometres through my city while I riding my motorcycle. It was only a Honda 125 CBR, but it had am the HRC colour scheme and I have a bright helmet, so I might look like a hoonigan. Easier to obey rules of the road and not give them reason, than to push the limit of what they think is acceptable behaviour and subsequently complain about "profiling"

I'm 18 and african-american in texas so yeah I'm at risk for profiling. I've been followed in my dads 330ci when i have the top down but other than that i haven't noticed anything, and havent had the gen long enough for anything to really happen

I was driving on the freeway to work one morning when I saw a White FRS in one of the left lanes. I immediately was like "Ooo time to say hi!" so I went up to the right and noticed it was a girl. I looked at her to say hi but she stared ahead with a straight face.

So i thought maybe she didnt see me, time to go ahead of her and see if she notices me and says hi, so I go ahead and then slow down and look on my left again but she still had such a pooped face on. lol

too much effort to say hi lol


2 days ago I was driving home and I saw an asphalt FRS in front so I drove up next to it on the left side. The sad part was that it was tinted so dark that I couldn't even see the driver lol oh wells

Temp was in the 30s, perhaps not...this person made an effort to stop at 2.

True story, freaked me the hell out.

Maybe a gas can?

Please fill out the attached application and submit it along with a current bank statement and criminal background check and we will get back to you in 4 too 6weeks.

I have a shot!

What's your point? I'm pretty sure it's illegal to tailgate too, regardless of what lane you are in.

uhhh.. what are you doing at 6k rpm in 5th?

I'm just saying, if you're cruising at 6th gear, dropping to 5th to "pull away" from someone is about as exciting as Katy Perry's Super Bowl half-time show. Not very.

Try dropping to 4th, or even 3rd if you're around 50-60MPH. Much more fun.

it seems there are three kinds of reactions with fellow owners:


1. The thumbs up I really like this car crowd.
2. Don't look my way unless you want to street race.
3. Don't bother me because I just bought this car because it's pretty and I don't notice other people's twins.

4. Why is that weird guy in the feminine looking RVR staring at me (the only twins I have seen were while I was driving my wife's baby blue blinged up car)

fify and yes, regularly. In fifth gear? Only on the front and back straights of PIR.

I hope I misunderstood you.
