Why are some drivers so dumb
The day started out great, not a clould in the sky and it was a little warmer than yesterday. I had to go to a Easter lunch this after noon. So i washed the vette and decided to drive it to a relitives house. Well on the way home there was this dude with a newer Lincon LS V8 that I saw in the highway. He jumped over three lanes of traffic to get behind me. I was thinking WTF is this dudes deal. He followed me for about 10 miles just staying on my *** i tried to change lanes and he would follow. This dude looked like a 1980's pimp, good thing for minnesota's permit to carry law cause i had the peice in the center counsle. I finally got a little bid of a open lane and was going to try to ditch him so i shifted it into 4th and took off. I went a little faster than i wanted to but I really did not know what the hell this dude was going to do. Well i decided to exit off the highway and see what happend. Well as i was exiting off the dude gave me a thumbs up when he passed me while i exited. Are people really that stupid, Did he want to race? And if he want to race (I DON"T STREET RACE 
) how do you race in traffic. Just venting a little. WHY ARE PEOPLE SO DUMB

I saw a piece on the Speed Channel this morning about how police (in CA, I think) crack down on street racing. They impound your car, crush it, and give you a fine. If you're still making payments on the car, you have to continue to do so even though it's crushed. The good news is that they have some drag strips out there where you can race against police cars and motorcycles. I thought that was pretty cool. 
At least once a week some twit tries to sucker me into racing him. It's just something that Corvettes attract I guess.

I learned this response on here last week or so and will use it as it seems like it might work. When Bobby Joe does something stupid, revving up his engine and war hooping just mouth the words "Law Enforcement!" so he can lipread your statement. THAT should put him on the idle stop!

Should have checked his license plate bracket.. It might say,
"My other car IS a Corvette."

Maybe he just liked the car and wanted to get a better look. The thumbs up was maybe his way of giving you a

I just read this on the Lincoln LS Forum:
BTW,
I'm just kiddin' around here!
Why are Corvette drivers so paranoid?
I got on the freeway today and saw a really nice Corvette. I changed lanes to get in behind him. I guess I must have scared him. He seemed to be searching his car frantically for a weapon.
Then he suddenly changed lanes and got off the freeway. I tried to give him a as I passed, but he just drove off.
Wonder if he thought I was trying to race him
