Wouldn't GM (or their Federal Overlords) have a fairly good fraud case on this yutz? I'd love to see the IRS send him a bill for using the car, the state of NY hitting him for lost tag & sticker revenue, & so forth, & so on...
@mr_dude: Yeah, you don't punish a car just because it has a douchey driver. Karma frowns on that sort of thing, but does allow the driver to be vandalized...
@mr_dude: Ever been to a Corvette show? Rows upon rows of overshiny underdriven cars. I'm not pro-vandalism, but 'Vettes need more patina. Hell, if I owned one, I'd consider keying it myself.
I wish we'd start just calling them the driving lane and the passing lane. No one wants to drive in the slow lane, even if they're dead slow, so they all pile into the fast lane and go playground zone speeds.
But still, passing someone at that speed is dead stupid anyway... if you tried that in Alberta it would mean certain death because the other driver would wait until you're 10ft behind them and then swing out into the passing lane without signalling. I've had to jam on my brakes a few times, even just passing at a 5-10kph difference because I swear some of these fools wait for a sporty looking car to come by and then block them at the last second. #autobahn
When I was in Germany I saw this in action; and it was JUST like that--every once in awhile some rocket would shoot through at that speed--just mind boggling. I kept thinking how one idiot loafing in the left lane could create a horrible smash up. #autobahn
@mechimike: Except in California, unfortunately. Always happens when I am late to work, some migrant worker with a truck full of leaf clippings and lawnmowers goes into the left lane going 45mph, causing everyone to jam on the brakes. #autobahn
@Elhigh: I remember reading about how the old comic books of the 50s and 60s, Batman, Superman, and the like would reuse whole story lines about every 3-4 years. They figure in that time their readership and grown up and moved on to something else. Maybe this is the same thing. #autobahn

I'm willing to take one for the team. A new Corvette that is.
