I went out for a little drive today, and seemed like everyone had something to prove against my car ! For instance, driving along, minding my own business, and along came an kid in what looked like a fairly new Porsche 911, it was like he had something to prove against my "89". Does anybody else have this problem ?

I notice other drivers are discourteous to me when I drive my C4. This really bothers me because I am as courteous as one can be while driving. I realize most other drivers think that us Corvette owners must all be a$$holes and this is why they treat us like $hit I'm sure. As much as I'd like to cut them off or force them behind me on an on-ramp, I don't. I believe in karma, and those buttheads that cut me off will get theirs, someday.

Does a Porsche have to justify its existance to a Corvette? Damn right, so does every other sports car out there. IMO, it does not matter what year the Corvette is. the other car wants to prove or die trying that it has something to compare too. So they spend 30k or 100+k on there rides
. 
they are not Corvettes
when I drive my 85, I am driving the best car on the road, the only time I take a second look at another car, is when I see another Vette and I give them the wave.

I also have a 67 VW KarmannGhia in my stable, I do get alot of waves driving it, but I also get the occasional punk in his high dollar junk that wants to race me. Maybe they dont realize that this prize of mine can go 0-60 in about give or take 3 miles, So when I shrug there race attempts off, I am sure it leaves them guessing. One time a punk in a BMW with his painted up girlfriend kept pestering me for a race while we were at a red light, I said title for title and he got scared and declined.

Funny you should mention this, must have been a full moon last night. Took girl friend to mall today, just cruising @ 65 listening to radio and look in mirror and have Honda glued to bumper. Speed up a little and he paced me, slowed down and same thing, just wouldn't get off rear end. We were about 3 miles from exit, the exit has a gradual right and a tight left to merge onto roadway. The ramp is posted for 45mph. I dropped into first turn @ 60 and went into the second around 65, last I saw of Honda was in the middle of second turn cutting the grass with his spoiler.
