Why do people who drive Saturn's

drive so FRICKIN SLOW!!

I swear, at least here in the LA area, it seems so often whenever there is some idiot holding up traffic in the fast lane, or even driving SUPER slow in the SLOW lane (holding up buses and semi's) all too often they're in a Saturn.

Don't Saturn's go faster than 35 mph??

I go 45 MPH in a 30 in my Aura. But, I feel this thread topic should be changed to , " Why can't minivan drivers drive?" They're not driving safely with 30 cars stuck behind them with maybe 10 of them having road rage. Oh and braking going up hill is just a brilliant way to cause an accident.

My long time theory is that people who drive Saturns (and old Subarus) don't really care about cars or driving. They ONLY buy a car to go from point A to point B .... period. They consider them to be a good value for basic transportation. People who only want basic transportation don't seem to be the best drivers out there and tend to go slow. *

*That's only my thoery though, no scientists were harmed in the process.

I tend to notice the econoboxes - hybrid peeps coasting in the slow lane. And a lot of times they pull in front of you too.

If you're gonna drive less than 60mph stay off the freeway. And if you are driving 60, stay in the right lane.

Have to agree.

I got cut off by a mid-90s Honda Accord on the freeway while I was up around 90 MPH. The accord switched lanes without accelerating, which should be a ticket in my opinion. So I had to gently press the brakes to slow down to.... 62 MPH.

LOL, last time I checked Performance and Saturn didn't go together. So it's understandable to see those people driving slow. Now, if they were driving say.... A Lotus Elise an driving slow. Then I may have a problem with that.

Why do you type like that? Having an accent is one thing.. but seems kinda silly to type that way. Oh and yes I'm from the west indies so I do know what I'm talking about.

I know some people with Saturn's that drive like maniacs, go figure.

I almost saw a lady in an Accord almost cause a huge accident.

She changed lanes (to the left) and immediately slowed to almost nothing. Almost caused at least a 3 car pile up. Even though it was still about 750+ ft in front of me, if I hadn't been paying attention I very easily could have ran into the back of the car in front of me all because of this ladies stupidity.

And don't even get me started on people who have no regard for guys on motorcycles.
