EXACTLY. I get pissy when they are the front car on in the left lane only going 65 when I want to do damn near 80. I'll definitely weave traffic if I know I can safely do it with plenty of room.
Anyone someone tries to pull that shit on me (when I'm not the front car) always does it when there's a car too close to their front in the right lane so they end up slowing down anyway and cutting right behind me. I make damn sure they can't cut in front of me by keeping close to the car in front of me. Some people need to just take a bus.

The thing is, everyone there is used to it, so they all weave like motherfuckers. I'm kind of used to it now, but just imagine how great it would be if they would just get over. Then the weavers could all be going 80 and weaving, it would be like NASCAR.
And yeah Booooom, now that you mention it, I guess there isn't much time between me getting away from the nasty Turnpike-ish bullshit and getting to their houses.

Yeah we give the slow guy in the left lane a second or so before we seek another route around him. I like driving here, it keeps me on my toes. You always have to be looking at different lines to take to ensure you get through the traffic the fastest.
A good method is to spot another aggressive weaver, and get on his tail, and have him act as your lead blocker

Yeah that one works pretty well, I'm usually line leader though in that situation.

it's a lot of responsibility when you realize you're the lead blocker, but pulling it off is a good feeling

It's like driving on the Thru-Way, except we don't have to weave. You just get about 50-60 feet, maybe more, behind someone who's going really fast, and hope they're down with it.
How come your dude stopped dancing??

So how much a month is this internet and how fast is it?
Also what kind of modem would you use? Not a regular cable modem I presume.
Looks like its not available here in Arizona yet... Thats OK though, I can barley afford $40 a month for cable internet

Usually Phonenix is the test bed for outdoor related technologies because of its extreme temps and suddent changes in weather. I wouldnt be surprised that if it ever rolls out, it will roll out here as a beta test or as one of the first cities.

you wouldnt be able to join them to make a single 30Mbps line. Not without a bonding device on your end AND theirs.
