one of the things i love about texas is the polite way they drive. sometimes the state gets a bad rap because of the whole "were our own country" mentality, but i know you would be a fan too if you were driving to mexico at 85 to 100 miles an hour and people pull their cars off the road just to let you pass. The first time this happened to me i thought there was something wrong. it could be a number of things... like maybe there is an ambulance right behind me that i've been ignoring for a few miles, or maybe they think i'm a cop, or maybe their car is breaking down. but no, i look as i pass and sure enough there just letting me pass them. no charge, no dirty look, just nice people. its a good feeling. its hard to shake or forget for a while. that someone is just being nice for the sake of being nice. it kinda makes up for all the times i did get dirty looks or shaken fists or middle fingers...
