I don't think any speed limit has been a problem to most Crossfire owners. Advice: invest in a good radar detector.

IMHO - Most Americans drive like s**t. They are clueless on the highway. Try Germany if you want to see people drive at high speed the right way. They signal, they pass and move back, they stay the hell out of the left lane at all times, not just when faster cars are coming. It's a joy to drive on the autobahn. (Except when the Dutch are about with their trailers.)

Truer words have never been spoken. My favorite part is when people who are travelling slow in the left lane get nine shades of pissed off if you quick flash your high beams at them, even if you are maintaining a respectful distance. Its as if they don't realize that is akin to saying "can you please move over for faster traffic" so that you don't have to pass on the right. People slow down or flip you off, all while THEY are violating the rules of the road by illegally travelling in a passing lane (it was made law a couple years back in PA). It's infuriating.

I'm telling you, mandatory IQ test for a drivers license in the US. It would save us a lot of trouble.

I'd settle for a real driver's license test and a requirement to retake periodically in order to keep your license. Make them parallel park, back up between cones, and ask some tough questions. Failure to pass means loss of license and, possibly, sterilization.

I run into those morons all the time on I96 in Michigan. Blink politely a few times over a few miles, then pass on the right. THEN they speed up to get behind you and put their lights on high beam. At that point it's pedal to the metal and I leave the airholes behind at 100 mph.

I know you're just joking around. But a proposed 55mph speed limit is the least of our problems. Our right to privacy is no longer.

The Bill of Rights is under attack.

Sorry I missed this yesterday. For all of their posturing, Dems aren't all that different on this issue.
Thanks for the photo. I needed a good laugh.

Very true. It's absolutely disgraceful. They rubber stamp just about anything the boy-king wants, and refuse to hold the treasonous criminals in our midst accountable. The stuff these two have let the Bush administration get away with is mind-boggling. My guess is they're culpable when it comes to much of it (particularly FISA). It's heartbreaking. Pelosi is Bush's *****. She needs to be replaced. Reid needs testicular implants. He's useless.
