Does anyone notice when on long road trips that EVERY SINGLE DRIVER will move out the way for you in the left lane?
No joke I was coming home to NY from school in NH and I did not have to slow down at all in any left lane. I made it in 3 1/2 hrs.. mapquest says 5 1/2..

Its either cause other drivers are intimidated by the badassness or cause my headlights wobble up and down created an annoyance similiar to high beams?
lol

depends on the state/ area you're in. that kind of thing WILL NOT happen in California. for some reason people are obsessed with the left lane here. you can usually travel faster in the right lane. people just have to get into the left lane and stay there. some of them don't even go the speed limit! let alone faster like the flow of traffic (when it's moving), or properly use the left lane for passing...

the "non blinged" honda drivers are the worst here, and there's millions of them.

I live in Louisiana and people here seem to not know the difference between slow lane and fast lane. I usually go faster in the middle lane

yeah it's usually not like that here in Minnesota you usually have to give them a flash of the high beams or the horn to let them know they need to move over

Never traveled with my Camaro, but my dad used to own a 2001 Millenium Yellow C5 back around that year, and like you said EVERY SINGLE CAR would move out of the way when I drove it on the highway

I generally have folks move over on the interstate (I-10) when they can. Hwy 31 is a whole different story. They like to get up beside one another, do the same speed, and block everyone behind them. Drives me friggin' CRAZY!

i noticed people get out of my way on the palisades, no clue why. people drive like asshats on that road. 25+mph over, riding the fast lane, no signals, following to closely. its a tiny two lane road with no shoulder and the speed limit is 50-55 and the flow of traffic is at least 65-70

I usually turn the tables around when I see someone in a Mecedes!... Especially if they're drive'n like an asshat!! I'll just pull my car to a crawl and floor it like a douche when the change lanes to pass.. lol!.... best part is that they usually get stuck behind a "truily" slow *** driver in that lane and no one will let em switch back into the original lane so they get stuck! lol!!.....Lets go L.A. drivers....WooHoooo!!
