So here I am out for a little cruise on a Saturday afternoon and what do I see, lots of minivan socker moms passing each other like their drag racing, a Audi TT right on my BIG BUTT like he wants to play, a 350z in front trying to get some accel on me. WTF. Took Baby home and parked her untill later when the Mall Queens are home with the kids.

Sounds like a bunch of nuts were out today. Wise move to put the car away until they go in.

I have to tell you, I had a similar experience today. Took a leisurely ride to Austin via I-35 and it seemed everyone wanted to either tailgate me or try to entice me to punch it once or twice. I left it on cruise (75mph) and ignored the peanut gallery.

Hopefully within the next week or two you will have a clear stretch of road, with a minivan in front of you that really needs passing. And no other traffic. Without all the chaos. Then you can pass safely, and in style. REAL style. Usually works for me.

What, no people running red lights and stop signs..Pretty quiet ride i'd say. SP just had a freeway campaign where i live for agressive drivers and tail-gaters. Doubt that it helped any.

Best thing i like about driving the vette is when your trying to change lanes and the guy beside you desides he wants to tailgate and not let you in. If there's still room i just drop the shifter a notch and I'm in before he knows what happened.

Wish I had a camera and a video to show about a nutcase tonight!!! A late 90's model Silver Integra with body extensions, chrome pieces/exhaust was going insane beside me tonight, constantly getting on the back bumper of the truck in front of him and swerving side to side. I was driving the sunfire, then a truck turned from another road behind me. The Integra all of a sudden backed off, pulled to the left a little, then went fully to the right and hit the front of the truck that was behind me, pulling both off of the road and into a baseball diamond, with the Integra hitting the curb and flipping onto its roof and rolled once or twice. I pulled off of the road and as luck would have it, a police vehicle saw the whole thing and was just up the street. I pulled over at the next turn-off and walked over to give the police my statement

The asian guy driving, who was probably about 18 with 200lbs of gold chains driving the Integra was high on something, but it looked like he hurt himself bad (had to brace him up and put him in an ambulance) - and I really didnt give a damn since that could have been me he hit, and I thank god I wasnt driving the Vette tonight since I'm sure this nutcase would have rammed me! Thank god the driver in the truck was alright, just a normal guy in his 30's that all of a sudden gets hit by this nutjob for no reason.

Might get called in for questioning I was told, world.
