Why anyone would downshift, when cruising at 50-55mph?
Just curious, but is it for response?
Is it for torque?
I ask why, because if you drop back 4-5 cars, what's the point?
I had 3 people do this to me last night, for what IDK, but it seemed pointless.
350z, Civic and a Vette. I'm gonna look this up!

I think it may have something to do with the looks of my car as well, but just because my shit looks like a rice mobile doesn't mean that the driver is.

My search revealed idiotic reasons for doing it! So yeah I'll just continue to laugh at them!
