So, I bought my Camaro in late January and yesterday was the first day I've actually driven it because the weather is finally warm and sunny. I just LOVE my Camaro.

Today, I drove my Camaro to work again. On my drive home from work, there was a line of about 5 cars on the 2 lane state highway I drive on. They were going pretty slowly (50ish and the speed limit is 55). I usually drive 60 on this road and have been commuting on it for 20 years and not one ticket.

So, I passed them one at a time. Not flying in and out like an ijit, but carefully, using my directinals to indicate my intent, and taking my time as it is safe to do so. The last car to pass was a Nissan Altima. As I pulled out to pass (not wildly and flooring it, but at a reasonable pace), the driver of the Nissan puts his arm out the window and flips me off as I go by looking just irate at me. I did not "acknowledge" his flip and I just continued on and set the cruise to 60 and kept on going.

Now, I have no idea why this guy would flip me off like this. What did I do that should piss him off like this? I honestly was NOT driving like a maniac, but in a very civilized manner.

I realize this is not a profound topic, but I'm counting on you, my Camaro colleagues, to help me explain this curious behavior.



Maybe you should call Dr. Phil instead of looking for advice here???
