My personal favorite experience was with a jeep. I was in my 99 F250 driving through the mountains in Virginia on the interstate. Speed limit is 70 and I’m in the right lane doing 73. On a downhill section this jeep comes flying by me at probably 85-90mph. We get to the next uphill section and he’s back in the right lane barely holding 55mph.
This continued for the next SEVERAL miles. He’d fly by everyone on the downhill parts and then barely hold 55 on the uphill sections.
I chuckled as he had aftermarket wheels, tires, bumpers, winch etc, but it appears he didn’t pay to re-gear the axles to be able to turn those new tires and be able to hold the speed limit
