          OK Torbs, here's what you do...buy the MR2 back after they cut you a check. Part out the leftover body parts and pull the engine, tranny, blah blah blah. Then convert the crx to rwd and bam - RWD RHD CRX!

            In 4+ years of living in Fargo I don't think there have been more than 5 instances where I couldn't temporarily move left a lane to make it easier for someone to merge.

            People here suck at merging; why make it more difficult for them ? The roads work better for everyone if you facilitate for the shortcomings of other drivers. If this doesn't slow you down, why not do it ?

            When I'm merging, if people don't temporarily get out of the right lane when the middle/left is available, I just assume that they're inattentive or inconsiderate. I then feel no qualms about blowing past them on the right during the merge process with superior acceleration.

                I usually move to the left lane when i think i might block someone that is getting on to the interstate, from getting into the right lane. you can usually tell if your gonna be in someones way. they didnt do that for me.

                    If people were in a hurry I'd slot in behind them as they'd be going faster than me. I rarely exceed posted limit + 10 on the highway, yet i'm rarely passed by anybody. Nobody seems to be in a hurry.. just asleep at the wheel.

                      I usually move over a lane as well, however if I can't (lane blocked OR I know I'm going to be getting off at the next exit) or if I merely didn't move over and someone honks at me because they don't know how to merge, I WILL slow down/wave/smile/whatever. Am I a dick? Yes, everyone knows this.

                                        Grand Forks drivers are just as bad as Fargo drivers, if not worse. We get locals and Canadians who don't know what a left turn lane is for, so the stay in the lane to the right of it, while they wait till traffic clears so they can turn left, while there is a line of 10 cars behind them. I don't understand why Canadians can't drive, Winnipeg is a mess downtown compared to our straight roads and right angled intersections. Never give a local Grand Forks driver 3 lanes. They will slow down and panic, and then cut you off. Yesterday, I saw a guy stop at a dedicated left turn lane with a red light, and then he takes off because he thinks he can make it. Not only is he stupid, but he is breaking the law, and endangering other drivers. And most of these drivers don't use their turn signals, either.

                                          yeah i know how dumb accidents go...by the way this is my first post or whatever...Yeah i lost my 93 Accord in the pic next to this because a bitch dont know what a red light means. Stupid hoe ran a red light and smoked my front end. Its kinda weird really...im usually a speeder for the most part but that day i wasnt...i figured if i was going any faster...she would have t-boned my driver side going about 40 mph...yeah i probably would been killed...kinda scary when you think about it.
