More of a macho thing with the driver that is being overtaken. I think it just has to do with some drivers who don't watch their speed very well. Any time they find they're being passed, they wake up and notice that they could be going faster. The only way to get past these people is to have a good head of steam up before you actually start to come by. What do you think of drivers that just like to cruise along nonchalantly, permanently in the left lane? Jim>> i dont know if this happens to you guys but here in sacramento its an every day thing.. but when i seem to pass these guys in their lowered hondas and integras its all of a sudden light to light drag race in the middle of rush hour... i dont know is it just that they see a raked notchback and they think im some kinda race car? or do they just have something to prove(like these japanese cars arent as great as they seem, how many 35 year old hondas do you see in as good of condition as many vw's) well i just dont know? tommy 64 notch 97 jetta GT
