Our St Helens drive was pretty clean. There was simply to much traffic to do anything that involved speeding at any time. Hell, most the time we were stuck behind a Canadian doing 45 in a 55. Even on I5 I don't think a single person broke 80 mph. We did scatter around the freeway a bit but there were only a few incidents where an S2000 driver cut another driver short.

There was that one incident of the crappy repave road where a poor Civic got hammered by us from rock chips but I don't think that was avoidable and by the time I got up to it, I gave the civic a good 100+ yards before I got over.

You can't assume someone knows that are are almost clipping cars. I mean come on who was almost clipping cars? LOL

They might not know what you view as insane crazy nuts driving. Might want to inform them so they know to tone it down.

The issues came up near Vancouver on the way back with 3 cars weaving in and out of traffic and making the jump from the far left to the far right lane with no pause and one person nearly hitting me.

Speed was not really the issue as stated there was not really a enough space.

Again it goes back to having respect for others on the road and fellow S owners. I did not intend for this to become such a big deal, but hopefully those that are guilty of the actions understand and will control their needs to act crazy on busy roads when in the group.

They were told they were almost helping put my bumper back on. So yes, that person knows who they were.

Ohhh I didn't know that, I must have already gotten sick of that Altima and put some distance between us before they really ticked me off.

If any driver (S2k or not) doesnt know they are close to clipping a car, they are a horrible driver for not leaving enough defensible space and not aware enough of their surroundings IMHO.

I think the bad guy in that trip was the guy in the white subby and 3.5 Altima who kept ridding our drivers rear ends.

I am sure that person and the other 2 would not like to be called out. They were told who they are on Saturday.

Don't look at me, your bald head kept blinding me, I couldn't even see the road old man!

If it wasn't you, it was the red light shinning of Iras head!
