I went for a drive last week and saw a fellow in a Viper waiting at the red light as i made a left turn at the intersection.I thought i would be friendly and give him a wave and the guy looked at me like i was from another planet.I guess them Viper folks don't like us Vette folks.

Had a guy fly passed me in a Porsche once.

Oh, and a stupid kid in a freaking 80s-something Golf who wanted to race on the freeway in a torrential downpour.
