I hear you, that is a real zoo there. I live just up Yonge a bit from
there.

Since when do BMW's drive in the slow lane? That road is usually 120 in
the slow lane and who knows in the fast lane.

I pulled into the fast lane once on the 400 when I had a Volvo GLT that
would go like snot and ran her up to 200+ kph trying to keep up, but the
Beamers were still crawling up my butt wanting to pass. I dropped into
the traffic in the middle lane that was traveling at 160 kph, that was
fast enough....
