If I am behind a rubbernecker, I usually blow my horn to make them move on.

I know, that isn't fair. It disrupts traffic. But at LEAST I'm getting a blow job!

Top one is what I'm driving now. The next two I drove back in the 1990's when I worked in Indy Car Racing. The NASCAR rig was the last racing gig I had from '04 to '06

you see, the trick is to keep a fast food plastic cup in the car so that if a cop pulls along side it just looks like you're sipping on a soda and not breaking the law.

I miss the days driving across Texas when you could drink and drive as long as you were not drunk driving.

said, I obey the speed limit, and sometimes even drive a bit below it

BUT

if someone wants to drive faster, I will do everything I can to pull over a bit and let him by.

If I ever kept track of the many many stop signs I have blown by without stopping, I would be ashamed of myself. When there is no car or person (and hopefully no police) around, I can't resist the temptation to save a few seconds.
