I own a 1985 SAAB Turbo with everything on it and now and again it feels good to go fast, but > "constantly tailgating, cutting off, swapping lanes without > going anywhere, and generally acting like yuppie jerks!" sounds like a lot of non-SAAB drivers to me. Your lack of IQ is showing Mark! To enter the fray a little, a pal of mine recently posed this to me : "Did you ever notice that there is always a VOLVO around the scene of an accident? It seems to me they are probably the worst drivers on the road. They think that since they bought a SAFE car that God will now allow them to drive in their sleep! Nothing will ever happen to them in their huge block of steel.." Ever since then I have been REAL wary of VOLVO's because he is not far wrong. The only drivers I have ever met as a group, who are worse are Irish Nuns. THEY REALLY DO HAVE GOD ON THEIR SIDE! As a Scot raised as a Protestant, I was probably the only person in the South, who didn't automatically give way to them. Nearly got killed before I noticed! They simply didn't look. Their Faith was complete!
