That cracks me up, I've parked in those spots before too. I don't support the hybrid car movement at this point anyways. Not when that old 87XFI geo gets 55mpg with 1987 technology.

My Diesel gets 40mpg on the highway.
265 hp (underrated from what Dynos I have seen say)/425 lbs/tq.

not be on their side, and I despise bimmer ricers, but sounds to me like you're in the fast lane blocking the faster cars.
by law, the faster traffic must pass on the left, and slower traffic stay to the right. No matter if you're going 70 or 85, i'd probably give you the finger if you blocked me in the fast lane and the rest of the faster cars stuck behind you. I probably wouldnt if you were in your s2k, just cuz. And I don't own a bmw.
Tons of people don't follow the fast lane rules, and it does drive me crazy when they cause a barrier that blocks faster traffic from getting through, or forces them to switch lanes around all the slower cars just to get around. Of course this doesn't apply to the Carpool lane. The diamond lane is a priveledge, and you never need to pull out to let the car behind pass you, the faster car needs to be able to pull of the pass. Although some people mess this up and go out of their way to pull out and let the cars pass, which just contradicts the purpose of the carpool.
Yea im pretty serious about my view on this, and i know when I flick people off they probably don't have a clue why. but maybe they might find the answer sometime...
