Ah yes...the illusion of speed! Jerry Seinfeld once said in an interveiw that
he would rather drive at 30mph on a Vespa than 100mph in a Porsche because it's
the illusion of speed that's so thrilling. (My kind of guy!)

Or, when you're on the freeway and meet a 'driving buddy'-someone that you
don't know, but you end up driving together up the freeway-watching out for
each other, challenging each other a bit. Once, when I was going to the desert
in June (it was my birthday) there was a big, black Dodge SUV. When he/she saw
that I could keep up with them, the window came down the I got a thumbs up. We
had a ball, driving up the freeway. When they finally turned off, the window
came down again and I got another thumbs up and a wave! This comraderie happens
really quite often and makes for some great freeway driving!
