Default Anyone???

ever encounter the same thing I have so far whenever driving your modded GS. What I deal with is people riding my bumper as if I'm going to do double speed limit, man that's annoying. I know where I live I get that quite often, regardless of whether it's a guy or gal behind me. Funny thing is there's always five lanes open to my left which they don't seem to use.

If you are in the slow(er) lanes, there is room to pass, and they are still riding you you need to drop down a gear and slow down more until they get the point. That's what I do but then again I don't encounter this too much.

A cop driving a benz?...he was probably late picking up one of his pay-off envelopes.

I get it all the time in my car, and every once in a while in my truck. if I'm in the truck I just slam on the brakes. that usually does it. but in the car, I say "speed limit isn't fast enough? Lets see how it works down shifting into 3rd with 190hp and full throttle works for you"...must be why I'm out of gas all the time...

yeah i get this too...the other thing i get is a$$$holes cutting me off i.e. I'd be in the fast lane and the guy in the next lane decides to move over to my lane in front of me even though he's got no one in front of him and goes the same speed he was at...pisses me off.

I also hate it when people tell you to slow down when your driving fast. Who the f*$(* are you to tell me my business. I could have some emergency, or I'm racing home to get laid.
