Default Made an eco terrorist mad

I was making a candy run in my Vette for tonight and took the long way home. Just cruising down the highway, enjoying the car and nice weather. I pulled up behind a left lane loser that wouldn't pull over to let traffic go by, I am use to it and cruise around them onto the right lane. I was going around a pruis and he sped up to attempt to block me from pulling in front of him. I went anyways and I guess it made him mad as he beeped his little horn at me, made me laugh to hear it. I dropped it down a gear so he could hear what an American V8 sounded like, gave it some gas and I was gone.

Is it me or does the eco terrorist pruis drivers seem to be A-holes on the highway and often running in the left lane?

Funny thing is on a long trip where his extention cord won't reach you probably get about the same mpg as he does!!!

Why cops don't write tickets to left lane and side by side abusers is beyond me. Most Intersate accidents are caused by them

On I64 during rush hour once, after working my way around a left lane bandit doing exactly the speed limit, I saw a cop pull up behind her and make her move over. Used his siren to get her attention. Very gratifying.

My DIC was showing 34 MPG at 75MPH, although not 100 percent accurate it can get pretty good gas mileage and looks cool, meanwhile the pruis will still be a POS regardless of what kind of mileage it gets.

I wished that happened more often but the LEO's have to much to deal with just to deal with more idiots. Someday they will have to widen I64, that should make it easier to get around the left lane idiots.
