Default Just Venting

So I have had my Z for a little over a week now and I noticed that not all the attention it gets is good attention.
Here is a story from last night.
Im driving about 60 in the right hand lane trying to get my Sirius to the channels I like and all of a sudden there is a VW GTI up my ***. I slow down hoping they will just pass me and then they pull up next to me and start to get real close to my car coming into my lane, then proceed to go as fast as they can and cut me off as if we were racing, nearly side swiping my car. I put the brights on (which I must say are quite impressive) and then the idiot empties their entire windshield wiper fluid hoping to I guess saturate me in glass cleaner to piss me off. This is the third time in a week some kid in a civic/gti/sentra has tried to pretend we are racing when really I am just minding my own business and enjoying my ride. Nearly getting hit or having people speed around and towards me because of the car has been only unwanted attention I have gotten. The compliments have far outweighed the bad but its still annoying. In New York also everyone is about 500% more tough behind the wheel of their car so they become even more aggressive. To make it even funnier the driver of the GTI was a guy but his license plate was 'VW GIRRRL', go figure, I guess his girlfriend is the breadwinner. Hell im all for people liking the car, wanting to check it out, if you asked me nicely id even offer you a ride in it, but I just wish these kids in their ricer mobiles would stop trying to instigate a race out of me on the damn highway.

Thanks for listening to me vent, but its been driving me crazy all day!
