I just looked at the post here about the VX with the Kammback and noticed the " Baby on board " sign.

I wonder if this would work better than an NRA sticker, since that just asks for road rage ( and especially spraying water or slamming on your brakes. That would make even me mad .)

I hope you guys are just talking 'Macho' talk. If you guys really do spray people or do those other tricks, you are just asking for bad trouble that you will seriously regret !

Personally, I hate people ' breathing down my neck ' by tailgating me. I usually speed up just a few miles per hour, or just gradually slow down to a crawl over around five miles of distance.
The legal method is to do this, and it usually works.

So my gas mileage will go UP if I am tailgated by an semi or SUV?
I always thought it was the opposite. The car in front has the added load of the drag on the vehicle in its wake...right ?
