Passing me at high speeds
I'm not sure if this is a common thing since I've only owned the car for like 3 weeks but is it normal for people to pull up next to you on the highway look then like try and blast pass, do they feel like they are beating me or somthing. Is this normal, because I've been noticing it a lot.

It never ends. It really freaks my wife out. She's a sweet gal that happens to love American muscle, but rarely drives aggressive. She feels like people are attacking her all the time, haha! I can tune it out, but it really bothers her. The nice thing is, you occasionally get some nice people who just love your car

Never ends. I pulled onto the hiway Monday afternoon, saw the state trooper 7 or 8 cars up so I took it up to 60 and set the cruise control, chuckled at the losers playing "race the Camaro" til they got ahead of me, slamming on their brakes when they saw the LEO

Don't Like it? Suggit.

Get used to it, lol
People are starting to catch on to the fact that these cars don't actually turn into car-crushing robots, and are now getting a bit testy.

It's normal, just like people riding your bumper all the time. It's annoying for a while, then you get used to it....sort of.

Booooosted.

 Yup. Even the little 4 banger POS 20 year old cars that know they can't beat you. Not sure why but it is all the time. Mainly the other ones similar. Mustangs, Challengers, 370Z type cars.

I don't mind the 20 year old 4 bangers so much, it's the minivans and the V6 SUVs that get annoying....

Yeah happens to me alot too. The people dont annoy me so me. The thing that bothers me is cops following me for long distances waiting for me to screw up.

Commits weekly crime
|
I think my best moment was when an Impala SS came up pretty fast behind me, and as soon as there was a passing spot, he pulls up next to me...revs the engine...then takes off.
Meanwhile, my radar detector had been going off, and shortly after that the cop passes me to pull him over. He'd probably been doing about 100.

C5 Brethren dont do it because we dont have too. Simply Put. I used to be guilty of this when I had my 350Z....
 I know I know. I see the light now.
