Had a fast cam or something. Went 70+ up a 7% grade I had to floor the RAM 3500 to catch up from a light.

I am amazed at how many fast cars I pass on the highway on uphill grades with my 3 cylinder Metro. Usually it is a Mustang, Charger, Corvette, Camaro, or the like just poking along in the left lane and I end up flying by on the right. People are clueless that they should stay right if they want to go slow. I passed three slow pokes in a row the other day going way below the speed limit, all sitting in the left lane. People seem to be getting dumber by the day. I have to wonder if people wonder how a car that used to be made fun of can just blow by them. My guess is they are paying no attention to this or any other aspect of their driving and don't even notice. Conor |

Isn't that member Alpine? He had a Turbo he was going to get running (idk if he ever did). Haven't seen him in awhile...as his name suggests he lived in Alpine although I saw him in El Cajon once |

Alpine had a different car I thought, but maybe he built another. Met him once at Home Depot. The van only weighs ~6000

![]() Last time I drove behind him, I could barely keep up. I was driving a new Toyota, he was driving my '94 XFi... I told him he drives like a race car driver...

Maybe you should also consider another guess - maybe something along the lines of... "there's a whole lot of people in this world who really don't give two s about "who is driving faster than whom in what or who is doing the passing or getting passed..." ![]() |

The thing here is that people just don't pay attention or something. Missouri must have some of the worst drivers. You have a police chase and it just goes AROUND all the other cars. They don't pull over except for a few in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TH91Tuntf4E That includes a white Metro/Swift type car at 3:40 or so where the cops pass on the shoulder. I think part of this is the meth crazed nutcase and cops were just going so much faster that they came up on people so fast. After the guy crashed this car, he stole another one. He ended up heading back the way he came and then looped around on some back roads and came out just south of where I live. I guess the cops had been shooting at the car as I heard it was all full of holes but just kept on going. The meth must have worn off as he just pulled over and gave up several hours later. Conor |
