I don't mind driving next to them-especially on a hot summer day when they give
nice shade! I'd rather drive next to one of these guys than a soccer mom in an
SUV-at least these guys aren't looking at their passenger in conversation! I
usually flash my lights in their side veiw mirror so that they know I'm
there-and they usually wave back and help me if I want to change lanes. (Try
doing this with some 20 year old guy in a monster truck!)

LOL! White knuckles? I've been white knuckled very few times in a Spitfire (or
sportscar-even 200mph in a Ferrari didn't faze me!)-except for the other day,
as a passenger, and Ross was going in and out of traffic! He really is a superb
driver, but still...maybe because I was sitting on the left as a
passenger...maybe because my feet were not on the pedals and so I had to trust
Ross (and the LBC gods) that the car really would stop...but I was really glad
for that 'oh shit' handle!
Sign me,
Not always a good passenger!
