She seemed to get the message, finally.
Now, people routinely drive 75-80 on our local freeways. It's insane.
After I got the Challenger I noticed a lot more people speeding up as I passed them on the freeway, sometimes passing me. Didn't happen nearly as often when I was driving a Subaru Outback - which I drove at the same speed. I noticed that men driving Priuses were overrepresented in the 'gotta pass you' group.
