There is some truth to that cartoon, but some people go so ridiculously slow and are so frustrating to be behind that it's highly therapeutic to overtake them even if the light ahead turns red or the traffic ahead slows down, and they catch up. Gunning the engine sometimes is fun too.

I assume this is Kevin writing, and I recall you wrote twice that you are an aggressive driver (within reason and only on certain roads). I'm the same way as you on the road, so I believe you understand my point.

Correct on both counts. Revving my engine to the 8200 rpm limit is always good therapy for finally getting around an annoying slow driver or a brake driver (you know the ones who must be driving with their left foot on the brake because every 3 seconds they hit the brake for no reason). Sure I'm only doing it in first (62 kph) or second (86ish kph), but the sound makes it all better.

When I used to have to commute from brampton to work (at 401 and mississauga rd) I used to have to do this several times to blow off some steam. Now that I'm commuting from HVE, I usually only have to do it one or two times tops, and sometimes not at all.

VQ35 is a sexy engine ... but I'd rather have the VQ37, specially in the 370z convertable .... drooooool

But ya, I have a little dinky 4 banger Civic Si

It's my compromise between performance and not losing my license performance. I can make lots of vroom vroom feeling without actually going very vroom vroom.

Though that 370z ... it calls my name.

I gotta agree, redlining through gears is a great way for me to blow off steam after driving behind a moron that has his right foot on the brake, or doing 100 km/h in the passing lane.

Ontario drivers (majority) will never learn that this lane is for passing only, not cruising at the speed limit.

I like VIP sleepers that can burn rubber and overtake slowpokes if needed. This used ride calls my name and is reasonably attainable, but it's my bank account that's rude, and can't answer right away (not for at least 2 years). 340 hp and 333 lb-ft of twist, but even though it's heavy, if it can do 0-100 km/h in approx. 6 seconds stock, which it can, that's good enough

It just scares the sh*t out of me to know that drivers like you guys are out there. I'm sure you're great people... but scared shitless nonetheless. And no, I don't fit into this "majority" of drivers who don't know what the "passing lane" is. Nor am I, for that matter, part of the group of people who don't know that there is no such lane but that you may only pass on the right... and not the left.

People seem to forget that the actual speed limit on the highway, in all lanes, is 100Km/hr.

Anyone at 100-110Km/hr in the middle lane are legally and justified in doing so. I agree, the fast/inside lane is meant for passing and slower vehicles should stick to the middle and outside lane. But there shouldn't be complaint if someone is doing speed limit in those two lanes.
