;*}Wow, your stupidity at work. Here's a compelling question for you...
;*}
;*}Why slam your brakes?
What happens if you're doing 90 and have to stop. your Trooper will do it
from about 60 in about 160 feet. How far do you think it takes at 90? Try
it sometime, you'll be impressed. Got me out of my Pathfinder and back
into a car before yoou could say "Geez that's far."
;*}
;*}And I do 90 on my SUV regularly. Nope, not a Geo Tracker or anything like that -
;*}it's an Isuzu Trooper Limited. A 5,500 pound car. Oh, that's right, since I live
;*}in a flash-to-pass state, I have auxiliary lamps on the front that gives out clear
;*}messages to left lane blockers, "Get the %&@#! outta my way!"
A SUV is NOT a car. a SUV is a TRUCK!!! For the record the maximum speed
limits in washington are 70 MPH. I generally do 10-15 over. If that's not
good enough for you, then stop swerving accross lanes in your SUV and buy
the porsche you've always wanted.
And quite frankly, if somebody flashes me to pass me and I'm already doing
10-15 over. I'll flash ya back. With the finger. I spend a lot of time on
race tracks. i drive for the conditions. 80-90 MPH is NEVER safe in a top
heavy 5500 pound SUV. Try a moose aviodance manuever at that speed, see
how many times, you roll.
