Everyday I go to work people seem to just like cutting me off half way down when approaching any kind of turn mostly a left turn. Now I have noticed it is indeed more of the SUV drivers, ex: X5, Lexus NX, Q5, crv, Acura. I don't understand this, some do it the last second. I usually see it coming now every time, they start off behind me in the right lane then pull left and start speeding to pass me and get in front of me back in the right lane. All this only to be in front of me to make a right turn, some even do it at the last second when coming close to the stop to turn. My theory on this happening is they envy a person driving a 370z nismo, I let this happen sometimes when i see them in my mirror pulling up next to me but sometimes I just speed up. Sometimes I think " do they know what I'm even driving, why is this person trying to cut me off, I can leave you a mile back in seconds". I don't know if anyone has figured out why this happens all the time, if so I would like to know please, Thanks.

so i saw an impreza 5dr and the GTI side by side today.. honestly the impreza looks 10x better even though it has a boxy mediocre shape. GTI looks like a faking diaper wrapped butt from the side.
