You should've dropped the hammer and left him wondering what happened! Typical Corvette guy!

Yeah , basically he wasn't in a hurry. Just stayed behind me the whole time.
My wife said she hoped that wasn't my next mod .

Haha, that's great. He even got the reverse "ambulance" lettering right...I think..so it looks reversed when you just look at his windshield, which will leave most people outside of looking in their rear views thinking WTF? Gold!

I would absolutely because I'd already be driving 85-90 mph, so if he ran up on me I'd take him up to 100 and see how eager he was to pass me. Typically when you hit triple digits people aren't quite in such a hurry anymore. I've only had one person ever pass me at over 100 mph and he was in a riced out Eclipse. No way in hades I was moving over for that clown.

Not surprised
Here in SWFL, couple of Big Red Trucks have that on their windshields

I don't have any problem getting over as long as they aren't riding my tail. I'm going to see if this works

I'd move over. If a Corvette, or any other car, ran up on me I'd move over to let them by (regardless if they had a sticker or not). They're obviously driving faster than me.

so you're deliberately holding up traffic (or taking law enforcement into your own hands, depending on how you look at it) just because you don't approve of the car going faster than you?

You gotta print it in reverse letters so it's more easily readable in someone's rear view mirror.

The problem with this whole plan is that the people who "squat" in the left lane are generally so oblivious to other drivers around them that they never bother to look in their rear view mirrors anyway.

Ummmmm, maybe they were. Could be the "reckless" ticket was why he was driving like that....
