Almost always in the fast lane wishing people understood the concept of getting over if someone wants to go faster than them.

I have a 19yr old black Toyota coupe that I drive as a DD for the most part - no problem. I get into trouble drivng the speed limit + 5mph in the Porsche than in the Toyota. So by default, one has to drive a bit faster to avoid roid rage when driving the Porsche. Other drivers seem to treat me different when I drive the Porsche unassumingly

In the left lane doing 5 or 10 MPH faster than speed limit and hoping some jerk flies by me doing 20 MPH faster so as to run interference for me... someone alway obliges me.
(it's usually some young girl on a cell driving like a bat outta hell)

"roid rage"?! ouch.

yo, fellow 997 drivers... it's my first time to post here with my new to me black cab!

wanted to chime in...

it can depend on who's in the car, if it's a woman i am deep in conversation with i tend to just plod along. (unless i come to a curvy part of the road of course)

depends on if i know it's a popular speed trap, depends on what my always on radar detector tells me.

one thing i've noticed is others seem to pass me sometimes to prove they can.

lately i've been having fun getting 29mpg on the freeway so going slow can be fun too.

depends on how much gas is in the tank or how long ago it was i put $50 gas in the tank.

i love to get on it to get away from someone getting up on my tail who's obviously in a rush.

and i am finding it's harder to notice when someone is checking me out if i am going too fast...

No kidding! Why is lane discipline never taught?

D...... Always, vigilant, mindful, scanning........

Yes, I will ride your bumper. Don't take it personally. It has nothing to do with you.

How Fast Do You Drive??

Similiar to others have responded-- all of the above. I generally drive according to traffic and L/E risk. In town and in traffic-- I drive safe and follow the limit. Phoenix traffic sucks-- especially now in the "snow bird" season. But-- during a week day out on I17 heading north-- as fast as the traffic and risk will allow (saw 178 mph once-- what a trip!), and on a deserted mountain road-- I sometimes race at 7/10 max (scared myself a couple of times-- but that's the fun, right?)-- keeping an eye out for elk and deer!!!!
