Well I love driving my GS, and I'm a big fan of NOT driving angry, so I guess I'd just let the POS minivan in. I'm actually surprised that stuff like that doesn't happen to me more. I leave an inordinate gap between me and the car in front at all lights.

Those people have nothing to lose and wouldn't care even if they did.

We should disregard these people while politely allowing them to pull in ahead of us. After all, we have to be polite in order to avoid them. Be wise and show them how polite we Corvette drivers are.

Anger will get us nowhere.

I'd let them in and remember I'm enjoying more time in my Corvette.

It's the ones that cut me off way too close at highway speed that run me nuts, but again, back off a little and give them space or speed up and get away from them.

It all depends on the circumstances. If they caused me to hit my brakes I would give the finger and yell a few things.

Chalk it up to just being stupid and discourteous and let it go. Much cheaper in the long run, both on the frustration scale and sometimes the pocketbook.

I'm only annoyed if they're talking on their cell/texting when they cut me off!
