Default Traffic problems....

Anyone else have the problem of always getting stuck in slow traffic, cause the other drivers are too busy staring at your magnum??

It's happening a lot lately... Guess it's cause there aren't many on the road here. I've only seen 2 others...

People will be passing, and actually slow down and match my speed. I look over and everything in the car is oogling mine... Kinda nice, but kinda annoying too

Oh well... The price of having a bad-*** car

Had a guy actually almost drift into my car already. He was too busy staring at it. Kind of interesting but you do have to watch the other less fortunate people.

I get gawkers all the time, they even wait by my parked car to talk to me when I come out of the store. Am not safe even at the doctor's, they want to know about the car. Even had a nurse come out to see the car.

Ain't it fun?

Hopefully, I can soon join the ranks of being gawked at. My RT is in status KZ and is supposidly in transit to the dealer. Glad it's coming after Francis and Charley have gone through central Florida.

Watch out for Ivan. Congrats on the car being built and shipped. Hope you enjoy it.

Color me envious....I figure I still have 5-6 weeks to go yet to see mine.

Got a real 'gotta-do' list now thanks to y'all :-)

Have not stopped getting looks at my car. I have only seen 5 Magnums out on the road since I bought mine over 3 months ago now. I see alot of 300's but not many Magnums.

Traffic problem of a different nature...received my first traffic ticket in 21 years! And didn't even think I was speeding (still not sure I was)...and yes, I know...blah, blah...but been in law enforcement since the 70s and rarely ever exceed 3-4 over (no one's perfect!)... Shoulda got blue rather than red, huh!?!

I know the feeling. Got nailed two weeks after I got it. Had cruise control set at 68-70. DPS got me going down a 6% grade on my way to Laughlin, NV. from Phoenix, AZ. Claimed I was doing 93 in a 65. He may have been right. That 5 speed auto does not hold back on a 6% grade. Oh well.

Ouch! Just out of curiosity how much was it? 10 mph over here in AR ran me $147.00...if I'd been doing 93, I'd have had to sell the house and dog! What bothers me is that I really don't think I was going that fast...I've actually never needed a detector but after that stop I may change my mind.
Why do troopers wear their shirts two sizes to small? After a lifetime in law enforcement but rarely on the road, I know the real answer but I still find it amusing.
