Always looks to me like a contraction for “Sweet Lawd!” perhaps as uttered in surprise by an older black lady with a fancy hat.

Acura SH-AWD have thought of a better acronym, too.

This morning I was in the perfect position to tuck in behind a police escort. That helped my HOV merge considerably.

Toyotas and Nissans are the ones who slow down most traffic.

I have an ever evolving list of shit I avoid/pass quick.

box trucks, 4cyl rangers, work vans, minivans,  prius, etc.

Have you seen one going 80 on a highway?  Cuz I haven't.

80 ... mph ? No, I don’t see many cars going 80 mph on a highway, not even on the freeways around here.

I’ve seen 90 in my 87' which was a 4-cyl...That was however the last time that I drove it...After that it was running super rough and spouting black smoke...I donated it to purple heart

Well that sounds slow.    T his morning I had to slow down to 77mph because I got on the highway with a cop next to me.

Lol, kind of proves my point.

I had a 4cyl S10, and regularly drove at or below the speed limit (always in the far right lane of course!) because the truck just didn’t give any sense of urgency.  Others drove it and agreed that it just didn’t feel right trying to rush anything in it.

It’s almost always a god damned TOYOTA!

Or a CRV.

Or NA Subaru.

As far as vehicles I steer clear of:

1. Odysseys always seem to be driven like complete asshats.

2. Toyotas are always some oblivious asshat.

3. Ford CUVs are always asshats.

A friend of mine wanted to make an ‘intercooled turbo’  badge for his Prelude SH...

Or like BMW, just “injected Touring” :P

Why they still advertised fuel injection on their modern cars is a mystery...branding and tradition , I guess.

Work van definitely doesn’t fit me.

I’m not proud of it but I drive mostly at night. I’m a 50 in a 30, 65 in a 40 kinda guy.

Prius though, yep they’re often doing sub-20  in a 30.

nearly got cleaned up there couple of weeks ago
