Yep, I've Seen You...
And a couple million of your Fellow Travelers down here in Sunny Florida.
It seems that way back when, right about the time that the Legislature changed our State Motto from 'The Sunshine State' to 'God's Waiting Room', lot's of y'all moved here. I suspect that many of our northeastern states have passed laws requiring retirees to move to Florida or face long prison terms. I also suspect that this was an attempt to keep car insurance rates reasonable 'Up Nawth'.
I end up driving behind you every day. One trick that you constantly use on me, and one that you failed to mention, is when you wait until the last possible moment to pull out in front of me, often 'punching it' to do so, and then, once you've secured your spot just in front of me, and right about the time my brakes have started cooling off from avoiding slamming into your rear end, you slow down to a speed that's, on average, about 15 MPH lower that the posted limit.
However, I work through all of this without too much grumbling because a lot of y'all migrated down here with some very nice old Smith & Wesson's, and you've been kind enough to share them with me at some very reasonable prices.
Drive Safe!

Reminds me of my Dad (of blessed memory). He drove so slow there would be a string of cars following.
If only I could have him back for just one day...

So that was you eh 
The good news is you may never get a ticket for speeding.
The bad news is loitering is another matter entirely.

WHERE'S THE FIRE?
If there were ANYTHING worth rushing to get to that badly, I'd sure like to know.

Are you the same old guy that I get behind at the Bank's drive-thru window that takes twenty-minutes?
He's there almost every time I go to the bank!

Around here, they're not pickup trucks, they're Winnebagos with Minnesota plates.
He would probably think it funny that his funeral procession was a re-enactment of his driving form.
You do realize that the turn signal was on when he bought the pickup.

my little chevy pick up forces me to go slow,
i get 27 mpg at 72mph.
to go 75 i get 20 mpg.
i don't know how this could be, but it is.
i gotta go 72.

My old gunsmith buddy was a huge man. He had a habit of following a car that never used their directional signals until they stopped. He always yelled out the window to them. " Is your car still under warranty? If so, take it back, your directionals don't work."
Yup. Did you see my salute as I went around you yesterday?
I'm the old retired codger aimlessly driving the red pickup truck, going well below the speed limit, with my LEFT turn signal constantly on. I slow down long before I get to an intersection, come to a stop, then turn RIGHT.
Have you seen me?
God bless,

You know, if you drive 10 miles below the speed limit on the highway, you can instantly tell if the Town, City, County, State, FBI, SS or aliens are tailing ya. Turning right when signaling left is just another well practiced evasive maneuver.
Would have thought you old timers have figured this out by now.
