I very much think this is the problem, less and less people are able to afford nicer cars...and when they see someone with a nice car (not just a Z) they tend to act up.

Happens on a daily basis to me. Always at least one guy on my commute to/from work where they try to race/tailgate/bait me into speeding. Said person is either in a Corolla or similar vehicle, or a Pep Boys special domestic or import.

I guess it doesn't help that I own one of the more flashier colors available and that I am only 25. Lots of older people are not friendly to me and give me looks at red lights.

I don't get the finger like I get " SLOW DOWN" from pedestrians in their driveways (not endangering them). Even if I am going below the limit, I still hear it. It just sounds like I am speeding.

I've gotten this. I was driving down a neighborhood street looking for a house number and going about 15 in a 20. This guy walks out infront of me so I stop. He says to me that there are kids playing in the street and I need to slow down. I told him I going under the speed limit and he just tought his 3 yr old that it's ok to walk out infront of moving vehicles.

Not to thread jack, but that story reminds me... My parents live on a cul de sac in a residential area. There is a cop that lives just across the street and the cop lets his kids just play out in the street/circle with reckless abandon all day and all night. None of the kids watch for cars and there are usually stray balls, pucks and gear laying around in the street. So it's super scary driving through there because I have to watch every direction for flying objects or kids running after said objects. Then one day the cop started actually putting parking cones in the street around his kids' hockey nets (that are just right out in the middle) and he stands in the yard and yells at cars to watch out as they go by. He's one of those "tough guy power trip" cops and it drives me nuts. Just teach your d*** kids to watch for cars and get out of the way like every other parent!

You an I are in the same boat buddy. I actually turn 26 tomorrow.

That's why my windows are tinted at 10%. I rarely run any of my cars hard, I just enjoy building them. Everyone's a critic!
