Raptor Drivers…You have a Responsibility,

[COBRA90GT]

...Prius driven like a bat out of hell?? ...

All joking aside, it can and does happen to them as well - as one unfortunate soul found out last month on a stretch of M-14 near Ann Arbor. Driving too fast for conditions, not wearing a seatbelt...

to yourself and to other Raptor Drivers, not to drive like a ******* on the highway. Everyone expects the guy driving the prius to set cruise 5 mph under the speed limit in the left lane because he is the definition of a *****, but no one should ever confuse a Raptor Driver with that *******. I realize you waited months and months for your pretty new blue scab to arrive, but guess what every one of us has too.

If you want to drive miss daisy on a farmer’s market road somewhere, have at it, but when there are only a handful of fellow Raptor Drivers in the same area code don’t do it in the left lane of a ******* interstate.



Get your act together!

Doesn't this pertain to all drivers? It's common curtesy and the laws of the road. I used to have major road rage and would do anything to "get them back" or "make them pay" for their ****** driving. Once I got the Raptor I really just don't sweat the small stuff and that's exactly what this is, small shit. I mean, once you get next to them, can they hear you or do they even get a shit they pissed you off? Nope! Most get off from it so why give them the pleasure? Just my 2 cents.

This thread is more entertaining than all the shows of the last 10 seasons of SNL. Combined.

Couldn't agree more, look I'm not a vindictive driver; once I passed the scab I didn't look back, but it stuck with me because this guy seemed to go out of his way to screw everyone behind him.

After reading the post on this thread I seemed to have struck a nerve with some of the members, and I probably should have toned this down a few notches. I was in an LP/OP for months reading this forum until I decided to sign on, and have clearly misunderstood the milieu of this A.O. . IMO venting in a forum is a better place than on an interstate in a CHL State.

That's one reason why I toned it down too. I am a proud CHL holder and always carry. I have seen some crazy shit on the roads and especially parking lots....although some are funny and entertaining. I can't speak for other people, but you didn't offend me one bit. See you at the DFW cruise in next month!

I'm a huge proponent of the washer fluid trick.

Even better would be one of these, but mounted behind the grill.

Get in the fast lane on the Autobahn without yielding...

If you've been on the autobahn you know that you never stay in the left lane unless you're passing someone.

Getting out into the left lane there is almost scary because you can have cars coming up on you out of nowhere (in the unlimited speed sections). It's not for the faint of heart.

Prius driven like a bat out of hell?? That's more rare than finding a squatch!

You obviously haven't been out here and driven in Los Angeles. Women Prius drivers think their cars' stingy use of gasoline gives them the right to drive like Nascar drivers. Coming up the freeway on ramp they're eyeballing traffic so they can make a bee line for the left lane where they hammer it at 80 MPH.

Or they get in the left lane and do 60 because they want everyone to not go faster than them while getting good MPGs.

If you want to know why people drive so badly just go to Costco or Sam's Club and watch how people drive their shopping carts. They ignore everything and everyone and are only focused on themselves and their interests. No consideration or concerns for anyone else.

And that's at 2 MPH walking behind a massive shopping cart. Not driving a 3,000 lb. vehicle on the road.
