Maybe the Lude started at the back of the pack, blew past half field on the straight, outbraked another quarter into the turn and swallowed the remaining quarter on the outside and is about make all of them choke on some vtec fumes down the next straight... hehe

my land flotilla is a lexus LS400 that brakes about as well as a freight train and banks like a cesna under hard cornering...uhhh, not that i brake hard or corner even harder in it...

not that i'll ever W2W the lude, but i can imagine it being pretty scary trying to pass on the outside of one considering how ugly the brake dive/understeer/general uncertainty a 5th gen CAN exhibit mid corner. can't imagine how nervous some courseworkers get when they hear me squealing like a stuck pig through a hairpin that i'm invariably taking way too much speed into.

Haha I love driving my mom's Toyota Land Destroyer.

I know why SUV drivers are ******** - when you sit up there, you just feel better than everyone else.

...b/c they've show such a fear of rubbin other cars while racin'

Of course, on the roads with the likes of SUVs, you'd be amazed at how easy it is for them to miss a bright frickin' red car! It's only a matter of time before I'm forced into playing Burford T. Justice under a truck

you could have a car that's literally on fire with naked chicks and satan drinking 40's out the sunroof and chances are some dumbass in a soccerburban will not notice you until they're halfway in your lane, cruising at a brisk 57 m/h.

the nature of most SUV drivers is "unsafe driving without all the ugly consequences thanks to the 5600 lbs of metal that will save you but kill the poor college kid in the civic hatchback.

it's a dog eat dog world...
