Question Do other drivers let you in?

Don't get me wrong, I am the least aggressive driver I know, and follow every traffic law (except some freeway speeding), but when I'm in the Mustang, people let me in.

I'm talking about when you are trying to enter slow moving traffic from a parking lot. When I'm driving Debbie, drivers will stop and wave me in, so they can check out the car. When I'm in the truck (my other vehicle), I basically have to wait for a red light to happen up the road because NO ONE will ever stop so they can check out my nice white Honda SUV. My all-time let-me-in classic was when an ambulance slowed down to LMI, and another time when a Brinks Armored truck LMI. LOL.

Classic Mustangs are ALL over my town. Thousands of them. Still, it's nice to get there faster because people let you in.

well if you really want to tighten some asses up and get where your going with the least resistance. get a 2003 CrownVic police interceptor with the push bar upfront. Get 5% tint on the back window and 35% for the rest of them and a console shotgun lock with matching Remington model 870.
everyone gets out of your way even the no driving jackasses that pass a truck that is going 63 in a 75 zone but they pass them at 63.004mph so it takes 50 miles for those tossers to get past the truck (these drivers are the worst and it should be legal to fire on their vehicles.... at least with paintball guns)

Where I live, most of the time, other drivers let me into traffic. I'm not too agressive unless someone pisses me off!

Carlos, your Grande is sweet! The color combo is perfect! Have you posted any more pics of your car?

Hell no. People here are just down-right rude. If they see me pulling out of a driveway, they make sure they get as close to the bumper in front of them.

I dont really need to get into traffic. I just always accelarate infront of them . But in bad traffic, people seem to let me through sometimes, but people drive like **** around here.

It's about value. Size the guy up and if it looks like his car is worth more than yours, cut him off!

Actually, I find that people always let me in when I am driving one of the fake snakes. They cut me off when I'm in the DD.
