[quote=spdrun]Lastly, I’m from NYC. Driving is a competitive blood sport here, but at the same time, brake checking and road rage aren’t all that common here. Relax and be a good sport about things. How can San Diego drivers be so angry in such a lovely place? Paradox.[/quote]
When I’m in the city, I don’t get road rage. I get road rage when I’m on the freeway and get cut off by punk asses who after cutting people off, drive like a granny or slow down and pace the cars in the slower lane.

So, if I’m driving in NYC, I’d probably be more mellow than you and not even bother with slowing down/down shifting to piss off the tail gaiters.
