racing by me. I'm driving to the store, the gym, my wife's office, home, and there is this mass of Land Rovers, Mercedes, whatever that tailgate then race by me. I know it's penis envy but it pisses me off anyway. Save racing for the track.
I think part of it is they don't really know what to think about a Camaro and don't realize that if I put my foot in it, they'd be history in a second.

racing should be saved for the track. why let it bother you? let them be idiots. hell, even egg them on - sometimes cops are around at the perfect moments.

Can't say I hate SUVs, but I do find it hilarious that when the first snow hits, 75% of the vehicles spun out and smashed up are coincidentally 4x4's.

My issues are just the opposite ... I always get stuck behind a slow azz PT Cruiser that ain't in no big hurry to go anywhere. Or the dorks always pull in front of you while in the left lane and do 10 under .... Arrg !!! They piss me off ...

It's because you're in West Los Angeles.

SSLarry · 11-10-2010, 05:28 PM

Interesting. I don't get passed by SUV's. Maybe you should try driving a little faster ?

Fogey · 11-10-2010, 05:29 PM

And by the way, I don't hate SUV's, have a 2006 Envoy. Just get tired of the jerks that think they havea hot POS when the only thing they use it for is grocery hauling. My local favorites are the Mercedes Gelandinsprungs (spelling?), that cost over 100k and have never seen dirt.

You might be right. On the other hand, you may be driving too slow. It's a conundrum.
