Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for February 19, 2023

where i live, however you speed on the left lane, there is always someone going crazier than you do behind you

Here, we’ve got to look out for the snowbirds. They’ll drive in the left lane and make a right turn in front of you. Or they’ll drive in the right lane and make a left turn. Yep, right in front of you. We drive defensively for our own protection.

our driver’s training instructor always told us to beware of “little old ladies in tennis shoes” – he was SO right

That paint job is straight out of the late 1960s. Was she dropping LSD when she got it?

I usually stay to the right. After all, I only do 10 mph above the speed limit.

Let’s say that your commute has only 30 miles where traffic conditions allow you to drive 75 mph in a 60 mph zone. The difference between doing it at 75 mph and 60 mph over that 30 miles is a whole 6 minutes.

You’ll probably burn more gas at 75 mph. Let’s say that the gas mileage drops from 27 mpg (All SUVs get this much, right?) to 25.5 mpg. That’s 1.5 miles per gallon less – a conservative guestimate. You will use about 25 cents more gasoline. This doesn’t sound like much but which would your rather pay: $3.40 a gallon (today’s national average) or $3.65 a gallon (and blame it on Biden).

Slower traffic stay right. Makes no difference how fast you’re going. Cars in left lane have right of way. Law.

Looks like Auntie has a 60’s flower power paint job on the car.

Ooo, bad trip, man!

Hear, hear.

Unless you’re in the UK?

I LOVE her car!

repeat answer to FreyjaRN above

I would imagine other drivers would try to avoid her, that car is a real trip.

Love her car. Worse is having trucks in both lanes and the one I. The left lane is trying to pass the one in the right but is only going a mile per hour more.

Call in from Rock and Roll Heaven: Janis wants her car back.

My husband, who does the driving, says, if they want to speed, then if they get caught, it’s their pocketbook that’s going to get hit! We pay for our gas and not going to waste it by speeding! (Not to mention no tickets).
