How come a lot of people who drive fast cars drive slow in them?

I notice this when the traffic in Chatt., TN gets really hectic on the interstates during rush hour. People in the Mustangs, Corvettes, Vipers, etc. really take their time. And the larger the car the faster they go. Ex: soccer moms speeding in their gas guzzling Ford Excursions while texting and playing with cell phone. Also add 3 MPH per honor roll bumber sticker. I was just wondering if anyone else had made some observations like this.

Because they don't want to damage them..Plus most of those drivers are old mid life crisis's types who wouldn't know speed if they were behind the controls of a jet.

Because People like Me 2006 Pontiac GTO owners Vette and Mustang and other cool cars are waiting to race each other get some of us side by side and see what happens. The rest of the time we have nothing to prove. And high powered cars require both hands on the wheel to control that power we try not to talk on cell phones while drag racing to the next light...

It doesn't matter what kind of vehicle you drive or ride, the speed limit still applies to you. The fast (left) lane is for the people wanting to go the speed limit, and the slow (right) lanes are for the people going under the speed limit. Follow these laws and you will rarely be annoyed by "slow" people. My observation is that hardly anyone follows the laws of the road, and the people that do follow them are looked down on as "Grandma drivers".
My guess is that people who drive the high-end sporty cars are sick of hearing me laughing as I drive by them (at the speed limit or below) while they are parked in front of a cop car getting a ticket.

Observant and funny!

Because as you recognized them as driving fast cars so has the police. Crappy to have a fast car and no license. Exhibition of speed is usually the first ticket...

I think so, I mean to a point - depends how young, most folks can splurge on a car like than until their 40's or whatever
