Not sure about KY, but in CA, 10 over in the fast lane = Please move over, you are going too slow for some. We get so many people that camp out in the left lane. Granted, 10 over is very respectable, but we get some going 5 over and stay there all day.

We all need to take driving lessons from the Germans. If you are in the fast lane, no matter how fast you are going, if someone wants to go faster it is courtesy to flash ones lights, and the slower car moves over and lets them by. The system seems to work pretty nice, when I have driven over there. Too bad they don't teach more of that here.

Sorry to rain on your parade man.

I always move over for cars that are behind me and respectful. If I see someone approaching faster than me, I will generally move aside, no matter how fast I am going. While 10 over is certainly fair for the left lane, if you are maintaining a faster pace, I will move over.

However, if you're going to be an asswipe, I'm not moving over because you think you're a wise guy and flickering your brights and tailgating me. We all know who is being an asswipe, versus who is not. Its not difficult to tell. Its as simple as being respectful. Its like you said...PLEASE move over. Not MOVE OVER, DAMMIT.

Trust me, you arent raining on my parade, man.

Well the car world is in luck! It isn't a Pontiac. It's a rebadged, slightly reskinned Holden. So the G8 is a great car afterall.

As another 525i owner, I respect the 528i, 530i, 535i, 545i, 550i, and bow to a M5.

I still enjoy the way my car handles, rides, and the sense of safety. I enjoy the lower insurance rates amd lower gas mileage, too.

The only BMWs I can smoke are all older models or new models that are not available in the US like a 520i.

I have never felt belittled by any other BMW driver. I think of it as a family that respects each others differences.

We all chose BMW's for the way the drive, not soley on the horsepower.

maybe he was being a little bit of a di$khead.(the pontiac).. who knows.. doesnt matter..the E60 smoked him.. im happy either way..

as for me.. when im coming up behind someone in the left lane and they dont move? i go around there pokey asses.. im not playing games with my car (cause ill wanna beat the shi# out of them) not to mention my life ...

dont like ridinig asses flashing people cause ive been behind them when they slam on there brakes and its not fun.. he sped up.. lost him.. no drag racing going on.. hes just boasting how good it made him feel. .shhheeeezzzzz
