See this I don't get...

They are going under 10 the speed limit. Of course it is expected people to pass them.

Riding in my friend's RSX Type S on CRUISE CONTROL, we still get dirty looks passing ppl going under the speed limit. I think it is all about the car you drive.

Another story semi-related.

When driving my old beater (1994 Nissan Maxima) through a friend's suburban neighborhood, (speed limit is 25mph but I seen people go 45). I had mothers jump in front of my car telling me I was driving to fast (30mph. Seriously I am ALL about safety so I was really insulted) and I need to slow the fuk down or I might run over their kids (even though their kids are inside playing PS3 or Xbox360).

When I came back one time driving (40-45mph. Rushing to pick up friend to go to work) in my uncle's Lexus LX470 I get nice friendly waves from everybody.

I come to the conclusion a lot of suburban neighborhoods is just an illusion of a "close community"
