> [@Slow\_Moving\_Vehicle](#): > > Honda Accord: Sometimes, when we’re really feeling kinky, we leave the lights on. Toyota Camry- We never feel kinky. Corvette- I’m a balding middle aged man, undergoing a mid life crisis, who wears loud Hawaiian shirts despite living on the East Coast. BMW- I don’t know what turn signals are for. Ford Expedition/GMC Yukon/GMC Suburban/Chevy Tahoe- I’m a 90 pound housewife who drives two kids to soccer practice in the suburbs and never go off road. ---
