Default Observation!

Hubby has a c5, i noticed whenever I drove it people automatically got out of my lane (way). Seemed to kind of have some "respect". Then I bought my C4 and I am finding just the opposite. People almost want to block me in, hold me up, and generally **** me off? Anyone else notice this?

They let the C5 pass 'cause they didn't want you to see them laughing at the C5's big butt

Then they hold you up in the C4 'cause when you're at the top everyone takes shots at you.
