Sense of Speed

wstar

I've driven in the Bay Area (a lot over the past 5 years actually, I end up spending a week there for meetings once a quarter and driving a rent car). I get clogged up in packs across all 4-5 lanes or whatever of the 101, and it's all Priuses and other eco-cars going 10 under the limit and trying to hypermile or whatever. Bunch of stoners who don't care how long the drive takes, so long as they get 0.2% better mileage and don't have to think or react to anything, just follow the bumper in front of you as slow as you can.

They try to make everyone save fuel..

They hate me...I own Oil stocks, I have an F150 that gets 16MPG, and a Z/28 that gets 4 to 9 MPG, and the 370Z....

I am hated by the Prius crowd.....Just the way I like it...True granola bars with a license...They "occupy" the road, hahaha

MD has a high prii population.

Any time I see one, or a Smart Fortwo, I downshift and stomp as I roll by. Partly as a nod to environmentalists, but partly as a way of saying, "Look what I can do. Don't you wish you could do this?"
