Anyone else notice...
 

trucks like to tailgate our Z's no matter how fast you're going? :shakes head:

Lol I just thought they were trying to read my plate.

I have more problems with Prius drivers

Because you can only see their bumper no matter how far back they are?

I think it's a problem with our z

Let them tailgate me at 100 mph

Many trucks have speed limiters well below our z. :owned:

fixed :ugh2:

Had my Uprev tuner set my Titan's limiter to 186...stupid laws of physics and common sense keeps her down tho :eekdance:

I think they do it to everyone

Paranoia could also be attributed to this....LOL.

I am the same way when driving my Z and have larger vehicles behind me. But then again, I KNOW I can see the people staring at my truck when I am behind them. 2500 Dodge Ram Diesel 4x4 with massive steel bumper and winch. Kinda makes people nervous...

I felt like that too

Once at a gas station the truck pulled in also and said he was trying to check out my gauges lol.

I feel the same way, i think its because my z is lil and very low. Accords look like they are going to roll over me LOL.

Tailgating trucks
 

I don't think it is just paranoia. I noticed this when I rode motorcycles also. Had one truck driver tailgate me and then waive a pistol at me for no reason that I could discern that he thought a two wheeler shouldn't be in his way. Another just plane seemingly tried to kill me getting 2 feet from my taillight. Been hit in the rear three times over 20 years--each time by a pickup.

I began studying them in other lanes behind other vehicles to see if I was paranoid or just had bad luck. It indeed seems that some people react to the size advantage by (I hope usually unconsciously) crowding the smaller vehicles around them. A bit of unconscious bullying or just selfish awareness that it isn't likely to be them the one who gets hurt. I drive a truck too and try to be careful to not do this. My reaction is to back off more knowing I have more momentum to stop. I think most more mature truck divers do this.

On the interstate yesterday an F250 was tailgating me and after he passed me (at 85 in a congested urban 60 zone, he got 2 feet from a Corolla). I have only had my Zee a month but one thing I like is that it easier to get out of the way of meth cranked fools.

wait, dont you have like 100K on your car? you just noticed this today? :icon17: ;)

nope, just saying i've noticed it since i've had it. though, the Z stops much faster than their trucks :owned: brake check a truck towing a trailer and watch the hilarity ensue
