Have you ever noticed if your driving at night, In the fast lane, or any lane for that matter. Everyone moves out of your way and lets you pass? I think its the extremely bright and annoying HID headlights that we have.

I love it

Ha... that's cool. I haven't noticed that too much yet. Now, if only we could have cockpit controls to aim them up a little bit for those annoying SUV's.

LOL, my hubby does that with his EVO. He has the self adjusting lights so if someone cuts him off or pisses him off, he adjusts them up higher. Right in their mirrors!!! Usually this deters anyone from doing it again

Yes, cars part like the red sea when I approach doing 110 MPH.

It makes me feel so powerful. Then as I pass them I look over at the pitiful mortals in their sedans and SUV's and laugh. Hum hum hum ha ha ha!!!

actually I scoot over more often at night... something about not really being able to see the rest of the car, and in case it's a CHP, I'm always willing to move over for faster traffic

I've only had my S for one week and I've already noticed that--cars parting like the Red Sea. Much easier to accomplish than in my other car. My girfriend has already commented how unnerving it can be, seeing those bouncy flashing blues quickly approach from behind. She felt almost compelled to move over for me. I've always wondered: is America the only country where the majority of drivers crowd the fast lane, leaving the #2, 3, etc. lanes relatively empty? Stupid lambs. Someone should do a documentary or at least a Dateline NBC on idiot drivers and all their irritating traits.
