Undeserved reputation for being 'slow'? 200

Unless you're going to the race track, it makes, almost, no difference.

So many times, while driving my non turbo bricks on the road, Ive observed these "fast" cars (vet, camaro, porsch, turbo brick...etc)pass me .

But then, so many times, as I proceed down the roadway, I pass these same "fast" cars sitting in the turn lane waiting for the green .

Or I catch up and pass them at the toll gate, or...

one specific incident comes to mind:

A car passed me on the right side, and cut in front of me. At the next intersection, I pulled up next to him at the light. He was blocked. I went ahead.

Again, he passed me on the right, cut in front of me. Again, I pulled up next to him at the next red light. Once again, he was blocked,once again I went ahead...?

Its the nature of our transportation system.

Consider the Sacrameto to san francisco corridor. I see these "fast" cars scurrying in and out of traffic. From the fast lane, to the slow lane, back to the fast lane. Cutting others off by inches. Risking carnage to all.

But when you get to the toll plaza, they're all there?

What is the point?
