Sometimes you have to get pretty close to be able to pass, but if a passing chance comes up and they don't take it. We're slowing down. Larry

I've really only had one person in the few months I've had my car come up behind me, but it was a new Mustang GT, on a curvy road, and it was obvious he wanted to play, so of course I had to oblige, but really I've pretty much only gotten respect driving mine.

Most of the time its just someone not paying attention and not even realizing that they are being rube. But thats how people and cars get hurt.
My experience is that there are very few accidents, someone was doing something stupid.
