i live in a town of 25k people. definitely rural. everytime i take the 6 out, i get attention of some kind. people stay out of my way. now when i drive into fresno (8 miles to the west), i tend to look for similar cars to traffic flow with (mercedes, bmw, audi, corvette, lexus). then it's no problems as we work together in sync to to ratchet the flow up. this has always worked fine for me and i have never gotten close to any road altercations. the only thing that bothers me is when vehicles try speed up to my a$$ to see what the helltarnation i'm driving. a bit annoying.
