OT: Saturn or Saab

[mkii_84@yahoo.com (Andrew Wong)]

In westchester county, NY I too have seen lots
Mercedes but only on I-84 never In Yonkers.  In my
area its all the truck and SUV drivers that rule the
road they cut you off they don't use signals and they
driver faster than anyone else.  I am going 10 mph
over and still getting passed by those SUVs.  There
also the occainal old drivers in Tampa that block
lanes and turn really slow
