Speed 3 story what a bummer!
#16
If 40 is old, then I am an old man with a fast car that is NOT wasted. By virtue of age, you've learned not to do (as many) stupid things as (some) young people do. If you don't, you're probably in jail, poverty, or the ground already.
I hate to preach, but I recommend you take your Speed3 to a track. It's worth it and you can REALLY let it fly there.

On the other hand, few people feel the need to pass me because I'm the one doing the passing. I agree completely about the slowpokes being a big part of the problem.

I don't race or anything like that, nor do I feel I need to speed 100% of the time, but when you drive 45mph in the left lane with right blinker on for 45miles on the interstate, then you have a problem. I think that driving tests should be more like the ones in germany.... Difficult!!! I think that each driver should be scaled for skill and nerve (like A Class - C Class). I also think that once you get past a certain age, you should get your license free, but you should have to get it stamped every year.

I hear you. I'm all for "German" driving rules. Slowpokes need to stay the hell out of the passing lane.
I wish we could use the interstate third inside lane for "extra fast transport" with a separate speed limit of 100 or 120 MPH. You would have a big sticker on your car that you would have to pass a VERY rigorous test to earn, and only fast, nimble vehicles could have it. One screw up of any kind and you're out. And no clumsy trucks or SUVs to get in the way or flip over trying to keep up.
Before anyone tries to flame me for this, remember I said "wish". It would be crazy expensive to test and enforce. And we would have to listen to TONS of bitching by the slowpokes who would be excluded from using the left lane where they seem to love to camp out so often.
To summarize, I love to drive fast, but driving is very serious business to me. I have low regard for stupid, inattentive, or incompetent drivers. ...and the roads are full of them...

I am 34, Had a 2005 Mazda 3 Sport. Had an accident and totalled it. Now I have 2 Mazda 3s. a 2007 Sport Touring Sedan and a 2007 Grand Touring Hatch Back for the wife.. My self, I love having fun with my 3. I am planning to upgrade it with a turbo kit in order to catch up with the speed 3. Just in case you ask, why didnt you just buy a speed3? Well, I can not stand HB. They are nice and all that, sportier, but is just not my preference. I also agree with the 40+ members. I take my 2.3 to do auto-X and just do AUTOBAHN driving on some weekends here in South Louisville, KY. Street racing is to costly, either by tickets or by crashing...Plus, its just your word when you explain it while when you at a track, you have slips to prove your time or challenge win...
