I'd just wave to make them mad..j/k.
Yesturday another person decided to go through a stop sign and almost hit me...I'm trying to turn, which I had the right of way obviously, and this guy decides he does have to stop and pay attention..I'm only going around 12 mph to take the turn..I seen him, turned it to go in the other direction and gave her all. I've gotten sick of these people lately so I said a few things lol. Then he decides he's going to stop in the middle of the interestection and take a look for cars..dumbass.
I also get made fun of for slowing people down on the way to school..I go 30 in the 45. But when I tell them I've driven over 500 miles and only paid around $21 in gas money they shut up and walk away or start acting all nice. In reality it is actually less money as I used 65 mpg when I actually get more lol

dont talk fuel efficiency with SUVs. they get jealous real quick. it only takes a few calculations to figure out why we ride scooters. a brief study:
Hummer
Purchase Price - $30,000
Variable Cost per Mile - @ 3.00/gal and 10mpg - $.30
Total COST PER ADDITIONAL MILE on a Hummer with 5,000 miles on it:
$6.30 - that's six dollars and 30 cents to go an additional mile!!!
and now the foil:
Honda Spree NQ50
Purchase Price - $700
Variable Cost per Mile - @ 3.00/gal and 60mpg - $.05
Total COST PER ADDITIONAL MILE on a Spree with 1,000 miles on it:
$0.75 - thats seventy five cents!
you'll note that this comparison gives way too much credit to the Hummer! they often go for more than 30,000. plus, we're comparing 5,000 miles versus 1,000. furthermore, think about all the money you put into maintaining a hummer. you definitely can't get out and tweak a few screws and be back on the road like you can with a spree.
anyways, sharing this with a hummer owner is unwise. most likely they will just get angry when they realize that they spent $30 just to get to work and you spent $3.
