No offense to any of the New Yorkers here but 98% of New Yorkers can't drive worth a dang. Although CT drivers usually aren't much better. In most places the far left lane is the fastest lane of travel. When you enter CT the left and right lanes switch. The far right lane is fastest most of the time. Just pass the vehicles that really do belong there when you can and keep on haulin azz past everybody else in the "slow" lane.
Yeah, I feel the same way, and your right about CT drivers, it was fun though.

I don't know... Arizona might have you beat or at least tied. I lived in Chandler for a year (not far from Cris actually!) and I refused to put street plates on my motorcycle. I was scared driving my CAR there. All the retirees come there in "winter" in their big RV's and think they are the same size as the Cavalier they're dragging behind them.

I think if I ever hit a big lottery, I'd get a 99 or 2000 PSD work truck, mount tires front & rear, 'crash bars' on the sides like you see on rock crawling rigs, and then when I came across one of those people that really have no clue, just crush 'em. Not very PC but whatever, learn to friggin' drive.

Thanks Lisa, it looks like the worst is over here, and we have a cold front moving in later tonight.

We call them Q-Tips, cause that's all you see from behind just sticking up high enough to see their head.
