Sometimes as I drive around town, minding my business, there is a moron who wants to test my patience. I gladly pull over when possible and invite them to fight, by then they realize I have bigger "cojones" and decide to just keep on diving.
Talking about middle age and frustrated individuals. There has been a few in their "40ish or 50ish" years old drivers (mostly driving a minivan with 5 0r 6 kids screaming and yelling in the back seats) that give me the dirty look or the mid finger. WTF, what have I done? I smile at them and give them my mid finger, most of the times my finger is bigger than theirs. OUCH it hurts!!!!!

Yes I have. I don't think about it no more. The very first time I thought I did something completly wrong, like not paying attention to what I was doing or how I was driving. I don't text while I drive and I use a bluetooth when talking on cell and driving. That same day as soon as I got home I looked around the vehicle to make sure my friends didn't write something offensive to others on my vehicle. (it happened once while I was driving a military vehicle and the general saw it... not a happy day for my commander)
In total, three fingers for no reason, countless because I asked for. From now on I just S M I L E.

Just got my Z on Friday, 3 days ago. My kids (12 & 16) are already refering to it as the cool car.

So I take it out for a short ereand on Sat. Get to a red light, coming at me running full code is an ambulance. It has to cross the busy intersection, against the light. As it gets near I notice the driver is looking at only one thing. Not the possible cross traffic, not the road ahead, My Z. And when I say looking at, I mean staring, head turning, staring.

I got home and told my 16 yr old daughter, "You know you are driving a cool car when ..."
