This "roads skoller" has sent me 2 PM's recently, neither of which made it past the gibberish phase.

The real question is, are guys with holes in their gloves for knuckle ventilation faster in the passing zone of I5 than woman with soccer ball decals.

Maybe in the tourist areas ( and driving a Mustang convertible makes you a dead give away for a Haole), but if you drive 45 on the Pukalani hwy you will get run over by a cop car or a bread truck.


BTW lhas to be either Paolo or VR's island cousin.

hahaha! not me, hoss.

By the way, if you transpose just one letter on "Haole", you get the true meaning: "Ahole"

I can see it now, you in the passenger seat telling him what RPM he should be at when he hits the "Passing Zone" sign..

Bank Book has a inverse relationship to going faster. The faster you go the smaller it gets.

Good point. I have a video of Fangio in a street race having to quickly avoid a couple of mini-vans. And there was a dump truck too. But the craziest was when the entire field of race cars got stuck behind a Prius back in the 1950's - Ahole wouldn't let them by.

Hawaii has Interstates?

And those "cars blocking the road" are just people using the roads for their intended purpose.

My vote is that this is a joke.

"When my opponent would yield to me I would move right up centering my car on the blocking drivers outside mirror, and flash my headlights. Flash them, or just leave them on. Cars would move over and practically salute the Vette. After this gesture I would let my pursuer take the lead again and set the pace."

That is classic. I'm gonna do this at the next DE and I always come in first at a DE. Let's see, for starters TRT41 and Veloce are on the list. Flash of the headlights then let you guys set the pace; Click, Click, Boom!

Yeah, each time I have posted in one of this guy's threads, I get spam PMs. It doesn't link to anything though, so I don't understand how it is spamming.
