I'm convinced the slowest cars in America are... - Page 2

Tell me about it, anybody who drives a Corvette down here drives it abnormally slow. I usually have to end up passing them.

I used to drive my Vette 100mph everywhere I went... However every other Vette I saw was going slow.

People also always had a shocked and dazed look when i told them I had 90k miles on my Vette. (00 C5)

QFE.

Half the time it's some older woman driving it who is just going through menopause and wanted something "young and hip" to drive.

Holy crap you speak the truth. And I don't want to add a new stereotype- but it's realtors. They fricken fly everywhere.

to MCPOAJ- it's pretty comical isn't it

. I've only had the car since November and I've never been followed so much.

to UCF w00t- one of the cars that made me write this was a 60ish lady with plates 'flyn low'. And she was holding up a whole lane of traffic and I wanted to rip the plates off so badly.

A couple of years ago I was coming up on a slow line of cars on a twisty road and figured there was a RV up ahead or something. Well, we finally get to a straight-away and a passing lane and we all go buy the guy holding up traffic.....in a lamborgini

And it wasnt an old guy either! I couldnt believe it.

SSmoked · 04-10-2009, 10:06 PM

lol this is soo true. all the vette owners in my area excluding one guy with a legenfelter(sp) drives 10km/h under the posted limit. the only car drivers who seem to like to push there cars are the porsche and viper guys. hell they put on some great shows at red lights lol

Visual_Perfection · 04-10-2009, 10:13 PM

Imagine living where I do and at all times half the people on the road are retired guys in their expensive cars. half the people here drive WAY over the speed limit, the other half drive under it, block traffic, don't signal, don't know what lane they should be in etc..

The way people drive here/types of drivers are so much different than what I have been used to all my life before moving here in January.. It keeps the drive everyday quite interesting, and one of my favorite sayings "you never really learn to swear until you learn to drive" holds true EVERY day, haha.

hardestgainer · 04-10-2009, 11:56 PM

dude its because your in BOISE! Everyone seems to drive that slow here its extremely annoying. Very few people here know that the speed limit is. Oh and if any weather conditions arise when they are on the road, go ahead and take on another 10 under the 10 they are already driving under.

manimsoblack · 04-11-2009, 04:08 AM

Dude i had a ZR1 cut me off when coming home the other day and i almost had enough time think an angry thought before he was pulling away from me...

But yes most of the vettes here are driving sinfully slow.
