Default I've got to know

Im sure this has been asked before, but seriously...why is that everytime I drive my jetta, I come across the hot girls next to me at the stop light...the ricers wanting to race...the girls with their boyfriends looking over at me...and more importantly, I come across a ton of other vettes...

when Im out in the vette, I may as well be the only person on the road....wait, usually I am.....why?

I know what you mean. In my vette I'll rarely see some c5s. In my parents' suburban, I'll see everything from '58s to '65s to '76s. So here's my solution:

Drive your vette all the time. Problem solved. They can't hide forever!

another reason I say the time of play on the road is small....
I"m allways in the truck or some other car, ....
occationally a ricer picks on the vette, but gets ignored...usually they cut me off....irritating ,but normal....traffic's a bitch....
