Default Electron Blue A-hole

New Jersey Turnpike southbound - about 5pm Sunday. Exit 8A ramp - you came off hot and flew up behind me in my silver 4runner with the ski racks on top. You did a little zigzag move on me - like there is something I can do to get out of your way on an exit ramp? Realize the fellow you are buzzing may be a fellow Corvette owner.

I believe electron blue would have been years 2002 and 2003 - not this section.

Lighten up, Francis. That type of event happens often with Mustangs and Corvettes.

They were probably crapping their Depends after drinking Ovaltine at the AARP meeting and didn’t want the poopoo to run down their jorts, knee high white socks, and New Balances

I always get a kick out of these threads where the thread starter is addressing and/or looking for a specific individual, like they must think that every Corvette owner participates on this forum.

I was on the garden state parkway today for a couple of hours. NJ drivers are renowned (regardless of what they drive) for being some of the most pleasant people you will meet on earth…..

Plenty of ******** on the road regardless of brand driven. I wouldn’t expect superlative courtesy just because the other driver is in a vette; maybe the Uber gay ‘wave’.

A few years ago I took a road rally driving class. One of the lessons was to never let your emotions get in the way of your driving.

I can’t go more than five minutes without encountering some absolute moron on the road. Running red lights, running stop signs, no signals, blocking the left lane, pulling out without looking … the list can never be complete. I typically get out a single curse, then get back to the business of driving.

As an aside, the other lesson learned in that class was referring to all season tires as “no seasons,” but that's another subject. 😂

Has always been morons on the road and always will be, just remain calm and deal with it. Whining accomplishes nothing but make you look like a moron.
