O.T. Driving through Ohio with a vanity plate
I'm heading out tomorrow from Swartz Creek MI to compete in a Half Ironman in Raleigh NC and of course the fastest route is right through Columbus, OH. Of course I have a license plate with the block M on it and VCTRS2 spelled out; what are the chances folks are going to give me crap just driving through the state?
I was thinking to myself, "Oh great, I might find myself in some 'Deliverance' situation and then I realized I'll be driving through 'By God' West Virginia next, lol. So just gas up before I hit the state line?
You're going to do a half ironman and your biggest concern is driving through Columbus? I'm sure you will be fine. Best of luck at the race.
I would love to do an ironman someday - except I really can't swim all that well. I'm apparantly not as bouyant as I should be.
You didn't make this thread to talk about your "safety" (or whatever), you made it to faux-coy brag about doing an iron man. Congrats, annoying iron man guy cliche. I'm sure everyone at work can't wait to hear all about it...like they've heard about your training and diet each day for the last six months.
I should really change my user name. I haven't done a triathlon in years. Mostly because of the culture

Ohio law allows passing on the right.
It's everywhere.
I'm in Colorado and the left lane is commonly occupied by the slowest drivers. Often bllissfully unaware Californians in mini vans on the phone. There are signs now which say "slower traffic keep right", "keep right except to pass", they passed a left lane law (and someone at work got a ticket for camping out in the left lane), and occasionally, the variable message signs tell people the "Colorado left lane law" is being enforced.
I blew by someone in the left line outside of Castle Rock last year. Early Sunday -- no traffic, clear conditions. She caught up to me while we were both getting gas and started cussing me out for my driving. I said "ma'am, unless you're passing, you need to keep right". She responded, and I shit you not, "I was doing the speed limit, I can do anything I want."
It was up for dispute? Why would that be on a tshirt?

My mind went right to the '97 title, as well. But then I remembered the playoff. And props to them, they deserved to wear the shirts. When you're in Ohio, you'll get Ohio.

Those who would be incensed by it probably won't figure it out until you are well past them.
I will avoid that entire state if possible, i.e., take the Ft. Wayne/Indy/Louisville route. Screw that state.
Put your big girl panties on and stop worrying about what others think.
Every trip home from Albany, NY to Evansville, IN, I wear my hooded M Football sweatshirt and make sure to stop in Columbus for lunch or dinner. Gotten a lot of funny looks, but no verbal abuse (yet).
