    im suprised to see some one openly saying they do less then the speed limit in prime conditions i thought it was just prime that did that!
    im mad cause i cant get my left lane gang membership card!


    and to hell with cali. im doing 58 the cars are doing 80! WTF! good miles there and back to canada though..

    im always amazed at the drivers flying by me in Michigan! not because of their speed but it seems to me that with the road quality up there any more then 62 and parts start to fall off -_-

    Your right, I can't......That's why I use the LEFT lane and not the Right lane like it's "POSTED" :biggrin_2559:

    I love it when you're in heavy traffic and someone is on the CB whining about the slow traffic that's not in the right lane as if they think every single vehicle going slower than they would like to be going needs to get out of their way.

    I could see your point going down some flay stretch of nowhere KS. But I drive around tampa with five or six lanes. I usually stay in the middle and adjust according to the never ending construction. City driving is a whole nother animal.
    LOL. Just kidding. Please don't get your undies in a bunch lest the hall monitors leap!
