People driving like that really grip my sh!t when I have family in the car. Luckily I have a remapped Volvo V50 T5 and a quick tweak of my right foot alleviates that issue 😉 I hear ya, see it way to often. Glad our Lexus LS430 is a solid car for getting as far from these idiots as possible.

Douchebags in brodozers and douchebags in crossovers, gotta love ‘em. I’ll never intentionally hold up traffic, but if I’m doing 5-10 over the flow of traffic in the left lane and you come flying up on me at 20 over, you’re waiting till there’s room for me to get in the right lane without having to slam on my brakes. The absolute instant there’s room for me to get in the right lane without endangering anyone I’ll do it, so until then you might as well calm down.

I hate tailgaters. I also hate people who ride along in the left lane for miles and miles oblivious to the line of traffic behind them. In fact, I hate them worse than tailgaters because I can always get out of a tailgaters way but I can't make left lane riding moron go on.

When on the bike I carry and old spark plug. Someone starts tailgating (can't move lanes) and I pull it out of the jacket pocket so they can see it. Make like I am going to accidently drop the spark plug. They usually drop back.
There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

They just love to match speed with someone in the right lane and block all the traffic.

Bought it this last year about this time, traded off my 97 Avalon for it. Avalon had 227,000 miles on it, they gave me $400 for trade in value. The 2002 Lexus LS430 had 131,000 miles on it and had some miner exterior blemishes. It was listed at $3750. Took it home for only $3636. Could not believe the deal I got on it. The most awesome car we have ever owned. It gets better mileage then my 2006 Honda Odyssey. Plus the 4.3 litre V8 has some serious power. It sold new for $67,078.00

There's actually a product that has LED lights and you stick it on your rear window.... so tempted to get one of those and be able to give custom messages to tailgaters "The closer you are, the slower I go" I want one that goes in my windshield that projects a mirror image text that says "Slower Traffic Keep Right: It's the Law" Like this: https://www.amazon.com/Traffic-Reversed-Reading-Windshield-Sticker/dp/B00EO9AABW

Love my adaptive cruise control, no way you could tailgate with it on. It does get rather annoying though when you set the cruise and you look at the Speedo and wonder why its only going 55 and set at 60. The only drawback I see to it.

our through town 4 lane has frequent entrances and exits as it was built in the 50's. most locals get in the left lane to allow easier merging for those trying to get on before their entrance ramp turns into the next exit. if people mind their manners we all go a steady 40 mph without close calls or bunching up. we just ignore those trying to push the 55 mph limit. it is only a 3 or 4 mile stretch, then we move over asap.

If it takes you a mile you pass the car on your right, you're going way too slow.
