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

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

Yeah, definitely. I remember a while back I really got the itch to engage a black Camaro SS that I was cruising next to... but something told me no. Then we came up on a fender bender and BAM, his lights come on and he stops to help. Unmarked car!

We confiscate some of them in drug busts but a lot of them we just buy. I believe Loudon County and Fairfax County are the two richest counties in the US, and it shows. Pretty soon our cops will be chauferred around in Rolls Royces.

I get the lil "punto ocho" civics on me and that garbage but the biggest a$$holes out there are pickup drivers. If you pass one they get all stupid. They try to pass me and cut me off. And its so stupid cuz I don't cut anyone off. I will pass you and at minimum won't merge till I'm 50ft in front. In tight traffic sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do but in normal traffic I don't pinch anyone. Pickup and some SUV drivers will see me pass and they act like I'm inviting them to a road fight. Its weird cuz they start off doing like 50 in a 70. I pass them doin 75. Next thing you know I have an SUV pummeling down the road at 100mph to either tailgate or cut me off. Pick up drivers are really makin me sick though, way more than the rice crew. The second stupidest drivers are dodge charger v6 drivers. Its like they are mad they couldn't buy a V8 charger or challenger so they are out there trying to show they got balls.
Lastly, mustang punks always tryin to show off. They bother me but the least cuz they just show off on acceleration, then leave it alone once they go 5 over the speed limit.its only since I bought my Z. They never even paid attention in my G. Whatever. I laugh at them.

With the SUV/pickup guys.they always CONVENIENTLY pull there crap when I'm with my wife. I'm just praying it happens when I'm alone.

Boy do I remember the big pick up truck mess when I was in Dallas, I would just lol at them and all of that black smoke coming out the back as he guns it and I'm leisurely going along. At the next light they would look over like I whipped your

Ugh... I know those pickup drivers you speak of. The further south or west of the city you head you see more and more of them. Usually decked out with some confederate crap all over them and lifted towards the heavens. They will tailgate me (happened in both the Z and the Mustang) as if they think they are intimidating me with their big bad redneckmobile.

alb84z31t · 04-10-2011, 06:33 PM

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.

FL 4Motion · 04-10-2011, 06:37 PM

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

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.

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

b1adesofcha0s · 04-10-2011, 07:05 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, 07:10 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, 07:43 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, 07:50 PM

Sure seems like it.

Tauruszguy · 04-10-2011, 08:46 PM

All the time! Seems like mostly gawkers to me

turbodog · 04-11-2011, 08:16 AM

Seems like Toyota Corolla "S" drivers all have the chip on their shoulder, big time. "This IS a cool car! it IS! it IS! I'm gonna drive like a **** until you agree!"
