Honda to sell sub $12,000 hybrid in 07 or 08 3903

No.

Often, the gap requires the sloth to ACCELERATE. When he doesn't he either cuts off the vehicle in the right lane or stops dead at the end of the ramp. In either case, I then have to scrub off speed or delay acceleration even longer as the available space to accelerate then becomes smaller.

Now, prehaps you choose to continue for the gap, which means becoming the crumple zone for the sloth. I don't. I either go in anyway because I see an opening in the middle lane and do a double merge, or I am stuck slowing and hoping there is another gap that has to be many many times larger than the first because now there is insufficent space to accelerate.

While I can accomplish it with a low powered car, it is not desirable nor enjoyable. In one case a sloth came to a dead stop at the end of the ramp confused by the construction cones turning a satisifactory gap for both of us into a situation where he was nearly rear-ended by a semi.

Can you not read? I can do it with an underpowered car, it's simply not as safe when sloth are about. And these days, 9 out of ten times I have to merge onto an expressway there is some retard in front of me who doesn't know how t merge. Traffic is getting that bad around here.

Never been there. Just have your previous description to go by. If your description of double ramps was not representive, why did you choose it?

So you were lying about having double ramps. Nice. save the usenet tricks then.

Maybe the people on the road stop for the merge impared. In chicago, many don't unless they have to in order to avoid a collision. Hell, some people accelerate. I got a speeding ticket once when I had to punch it up to make a safe merge because some butthole decided to accelerate to stop my merge. (A semi moved into the gap he created so there was no just moving in behind him)

That means if you follow a sloth on the expressway, you can very well be a crumple zone. I've seen semi drivers not even throttle lift from 70+mph until the last possible moment to avoid hitting a sloth. If you enjoy merging at 35mph in such conditions, have your underpowered car. I don't enjoy it. I can do it, but I don't enjoy it and I have decided not to put up with it.

Um, I made a comment. You decided to continue it, telling me I'm wrong. Sorry, I've had enough time behind the wheel of lower powered vehicles to know that I prefer having some power to accelerate at my disposal.

Then why didn't you post that initially? No, you had to tell me I was wrong instead.
