but if we're sounding too fast...well, we'll just have to see how I respond the next time.
Safer for the kids. They hear you, they stay out of the street.

I get "evil looks" from the neighbors coming up my street doing 30-35 mph. The posted limit is 30mph it's a wide street. They never give second look to the soccer moms busting *** down my street going 45-50.

I'm sure my Corvette can stop much quicker than an SUV... so as Carlos Mencia would say, "dee dee dee" loud doesn't always equal fast.

I get the exact same thing! SLP Loud Mouths with high flo cats..

Guy in a Van I see doing 30-40mph down my neighborhood street came to 'talk' with me about my speed. I rarely hit 23 in the 25.. due to alot of kids. I'm generally around 15-20 with eyes wide open watching for them to run across the road.

My car will make joggers jump off the street in shear panic at 25mph!

Some people just like to complain. You know you were going within the speed limit, that's what counts.
