Yeah, it does to me too.  However, it also feels fundamentally safer to me,
and that wins hands down.

Tailgaters can be really persistant.  I apply a litte gas and get 1/4 mile
ahead, and in about 5 minutes, there he is again.  This sort of stuff can
get really annoying on those long, 1000 mile trips where you are doing that
over and over and over again halfwaty across the country with 10 or 15
different bonheads doing this same thing.
