Does my Camaro have a target on it?

So I have had my Camaro for 4 weeks. I was driving around town today and almost got hit twice. The first time i was passing a car in the right lane when a Dodge truck started to change lanes into my lane. I hit the brakes and hit the horn. Good breaks....

The second time was less than two miles down the road when I was in the left lane and a Lexus tried to pull into my lane. Again I hit the breaks and horn.

I pulled over at the next gas station and got out of the car. My wife asked what I was doing. I told her, I'm looking to see if I have a target on the car. Love the Brembo brakes.

Sometimes it does feel like it has a target on it. I also live in Cali and people tend to drive rather aggressive here and not all of them pay attention to their surroundings.

I agree, some days I get SO MANY close calls, I take that as a WARNING and go home

and park mine. The Brembo's are fantastic
