Because I go slow and low, they have no choice but to take a look, that's why I selected Low and slow over mild.
I'd rather be late by going slow over going fast, getting a ticket or in an accident and possible not arriving at all!

I chose the more frequent of my two styles...Low and Slow, unless I am driving in Chitown then I assume my alter ego and go full Road Rage...it's just so I fit in!!! I actually love to drive in Chicago, my attitude is perfect for a day going total kamakazi in the Windy...

Ok Capt. A chinese fire drill is where you stop (in the middle of the street) and the doors fly open and everyone gets out and runs around the car and the gets back in. Then you haul it down the street because all the people behind you are mad. Like in the MB commerical with the drive-in.

It varies between mild and rush hour but now leans more towards mild.

Did you ever see the "Keystone Kops" in those ancient Old Time Movies? Well if you multiply that action about 5 times, that would sorta be like a Chinese Fire Drill!

I've never seen anyone do that in real life so I didn't know what it was called. I think it was a 50s or 60s thing or something? I've seen people switch seats like that when they are too drunk to drive.
