I have a vinyl snail artwork on my diesel westy rear window that lets
the world know "I'm slow." It was more appropriate when the car didn't
have a turbo, but in any case I think people cut you a little slack if
there's acknowledgement that a vehicle is slow. Maybe I just haven't
been in front of anybody with enough of a rage yet, but I've been a
bunch of freeway miles and nobody's ever flipped me off.
Or maybe I was just too slow to notice.
