Are other drivers more agressive around you when you drive your Z ?

Occasionally a BMW douche (we have A LOT of them here) will try to pick a fight but I just ignore them until they go away.

/\ it's not just up there, they're down here too.

Oh, I totally forgot to mention the infamous F-150 drivers. They might actually be the worst ones of all.

This happens to me on a daily basis. It seems that the drivers behind me feel that I should always be going at least 100 mph. I am constantly getting tail gated or passed up even when I am 10 mph over the speed limit. And it occurs with every type of car or truck imaginable.

We're all royally screwed now, it's a perfect storm of douchebaggery that none of us will be able to withstand....

It's too bad. They are such nice cars but their image is ravaged by a large number of d-bags that flock to them.

The funny thing about NOVA and BMWs is that 25% are dbags, 50% don't care, 15% are cool car guys, and the rest are unmarked cops.

Happened to me today when this helmetless old guy biker on his loud machine kept pulling along side of me and taking off, then slowed down to let me catch up and did it again. I was going maybe 50, listening to nice music and talking to wifie and had no interest in whatever it was that this idiot was trying to say or do. I guess not all oldguys have sense.

bmw's as unmarked's up there? Good use of y'alls crazy tax $$ huh?

Yeah, seems like the majority (obviously not a scientific study) of bmw drivers are pretentious and trying to show the world how well off and awesome they are. Oh well, whatever floats one's boat I suppose.

b1adesofcha0s · 04-10-2011, 08:05 PM

Surprisingly, it has not happened to me yet. Either that or I haven't noticed it yet. The only person whose ever done this kind of thing to me was one of my friends.

I have to admit though, if I were to see something like a Lambo or Ferrari on the highway, I may be tempted just to see it in action.

Da.Menace · 04-10-2011, 08:10 PM

Yes it does happen, and just happened to me a while ago, was a RSX and a Mazda 3. Hmm.

sonic370 · 04-10-2011, 08:43 PM

I would say at least once or twice a month. usually they are driving ragged
$$S cars with a chip on their shoulder. Down here it's called penis envy............

i just get a good laugh out of it....

Red__Zed · 04-10-2011, 08:50 PM

Sure seems like it.

Must've been a Harley. He would never do that to another brand of motorcycle, he'd get his *** whipped, so he trolls cars?

Drug bust confiscations. There are Lincoln Navigators, various Dodge Hemis, all sorts of sneaky-a$$ unmarked up here.

Young guys in old riced-out Hondas. The occasional older Porsche 911, any M3 or 335/135i and every Infiniti G. I point at them and laugh, they hate that.

Wouldn't know what make of bike---they all look the same to me and most sound obnoxiously loud.
