Default sports car always on right lane?

it seems that every time there is a hot car it is always on the furthest right lane. It is always going slower then everyone else too.

Is it just me or is it like this to everyone? are they waiting for someone? or do they drive slow so everyone can stare at them?

Im talking about high end cars.. like porsches... and cars like that. why buy a sports car and drive slower then everyone else?

However, I'd guess that if you have that kind of money, maybe you just don't have to be in a hurry any more.

Never noticed either, but it could be that they're tired of getting tickets for speeding.

d. all of the above


I am supremely confident that a Lambo driver will get singled out almost everytime for going even 5mph higher than the posted limit.

disagree. Most people making high salary are always pretty occupied with their time.

To and from work I always go slow in the far right lane. I got two speeding tickets in a couple of months going to and from work and just decided it wasn't worth it at all. Now I almost enjoy the drive even more. No need to rush to work in the morning...so going slow is fine by me. On the way home, I just drop the top and take my time and enjoy the nice drive. It's always amusing to see the jerk offs swerving around and nailing the gas trying to get home sooner. Then I end up next to them at the next stop light and my smile grows even more knowing they wasted twice as much gas as me in a hurry only to end up at the same light.
