[TR] "Retiring from the TR hobby" - driving in traffic

[John & Pat Donnelly]

Don't get me wrong, I am NOT retiring from my hobby (it's more like my
passion). But ....

I agree with Pat, the attention our cars get in traffic can sometimes be
annoying. I'll be driving on the freeway and suddenly get boxed in from
making lane changes by a guy in a 25 foot long Suburban, who was driving 90,
pulled up side of me, slowed to 70, and he turns out to be a wanna-be/I had
one/"is that an MG?" lookie-loo checking out my wheels, talking to his
comrade in the passenger seat, pointing and waving, and then giving the
thumbs up sign as he speeds back up to 90 MPH after 20 seconds of gawking.
Damn, I missed my turn-off because of this guy. The undesirable element, as
Pat describes it, is nothing compared to the yokels who compromise your
safety.

I don't live in a posh neighborhood (closer to the "hood" as I see it) and
it's cool having kids wave as I go by. That keeps me in the "hobby", and the
driving of course! Thank goodness the kids don't drive - yet.
