Mustang envy does this happen often to you

m4a1mustang · 01-02-2012, 01:19 AM

I'll give it to you that we all make generalizations... rationally or not. And most of the time they are driven by conscious or subconscious biases.

I will say that I get harassed by 350Zs a lot... but I try to avoid generalizing the car and its drivers because it's a lot like blaming a deadly shooting on the gun. Did the gun kill the victim? No, the criminal that shot the gun did... And whether some young douchebag with enough money to buy a used sports car chooses to be a douche in a Z or a Mustang is really up to chance.

The fact is I encounter douchebag drivers on a daily basis, and sometimes they are in a Z, sometimes a Mustang, BMW, etc... but a douchebag is a douchebag and it doesn't matter what car they drive. If a douchebag Mustang driver traded his car in on a Z that's not going to change how he drives... however it might change how he is perceived by his own kind... just sayin'.

Brother please don't get it twisted. I don't blame the hunk of metal on the road by any means. I do blame the driver inside. All I'm saying is, the car does tend to attract a certain type. I never came across a Z33 dbag but I have met some G35 dbags and I used to own one of those as well as G37. I really don't like the G37 crowd. They are way different from the G35 crowd. It doesn't mean I hate G37's. I went to the Z because I hadn't owned a 2 seater in a decade. I wanted one again. You feel more connected to the road. The Z crowd is a mixed bag too. Plenty of Aholes in our thing. But, I'm not talking about our thing now. We are talking about the outsiders. You know... "your people". Lol.

You have to admit there's always a bit of personal bias that plays a role in how you view certain drivers in certain cars... we're all guilty of that.
