so its raining in southern california. people on the road seem to get dumber and i cannot figure it out. i have noticed how people behind me seem to get mad because i am going 40MPH on the 40MPH streets, they tailgate me for a bit and then zoom past me and continue to accelerate down the street until i would say probably 55MPH or so. i cannot count how many people have done this to me. heh maybe they will start to slow down after they get in an accident or get a ticket. i am just amazed how people can be careless when they are driving. okay thats all. have a nice day.:)

its universal...trust me. What really gets me going is when the light ahead is red so you dont give it any gas and start slowing down...but the people behind you tailgate and then pass you quickly, before slamming on the breaks. CAN THEY NOT SEE THE LIGHT WAS RED?!!??!

Rain is for whimps, snow and black ice is what makes driving fun :)

i seem to drive faster in the rain, while everyone else goes slower. never had traction or stopping problems, except when my rear tires were bald. at every stoplight i kept spinning the tires.

paul, 75 in a blizzard in a firebird is impressive. did you have winter tires? when i had my 89 firebird it snowed/iced a couple times and i ran a couple stop signs and lights because i couldn't stop and also did an unscheduled u-turn on a road two lanes wide without hitting anything. this car also had four different brands of tires on it at the same time.

Try driving in Okinawa Japan... More drunk old farts then you can count in K cars driving 30kph in a 60. And dont get me started on the Bosozoku! They get out the way when I roll up on them:D

if their was ever a driving purgatory its Okinawa
