I was tail gatted and 'light-flashed' the driver of an Ivecco box van (I was driving my Metro 65mph after all). Again by a Prius driver this morning... apperently late for work? The lowly little metro gets no respect out on the hiway....

Hello -

I saw lots of aggressive driving today, but I attributed it to a percentage of the population being unhappy with the state of affairs in the political realm. Totally subjective on my part, but it was *crazy* today.

The people are just gonna drive the demand back up, and then the price again.

Oh well, Ill just pocket the saved cash while its down. My insurance nearly halved itself too, so double bonus.

I also will not speed up for those that wish to ride my bumper...

I just noticed something else on the AM news radio today. All summer long during the gas price increases, there were features on people trying to save gas by changing how they drive. Today I heard the first article where someone said that because of the lower gas prices, they have switched back to driving at 70 MPH instead of 60 MPH.

And so it goes ...
