That musr explain the shitty drivers we have here in Colorado
Springs. MCI is a major employer here in the Springs and
you can drive I-25 between Denver and Colo Spgs and you 
have a few of these Volvo/Saab/BMW drivers who park it in
the left lane doing about 55 to 60 mph even though the
speed limit is 75 mph. Most of the people that work at MCI
are from the DC/MD/VA Beltway area. I also worked there
for a short time and I dealt with some of the most arrogant
people. The people I worked with who were from the
beltway prided themselves on being "cultured" and thinking
of themselves as being so wonderful. They were the kind 
of people who would look down on you if you don't drive
a yuppie type of car. I had a Mustang and several of them
made comments that it was a car for immature people and
they called it a redneck car. Yuppie Dickheads !
