It happens to me almost every time I take her out. The other night, as I was going to pick up my daughter from work, this guy in a beemer plasters himself on my rear bumper. All I could see was face in my rear view. So------ I just gradually came to a complete stop, which completely stopped him. The funniest part was watching him squealing away at high speed. Oh- forgot to mention- when I finally caught up to him, he was pulled over by an Edison cop. Justice done
I always wish that I could entice some douchebag into doing this, and getting snagged that way. Love it man, good job.

I never have these problems, maybe it's the loud sound and roll cage 
Seriously though, love the Audi's and agree the vette is like a magnet in many ways. Drivers acting like this is just one of the things they attract!

maybe the "TT" plate scares them off, or the lack of an exhaust.. 
did have someone in an M5 try and "play".. i do give him credit for stepping up to the plate, but 4 tries? comeon... should have gotten the hint after the first time..

You glue yourself to my rear bumper and I don't feel like "playing" at the time, I just go slower and slower. The more they "push" the slower I go.

Someone I know gave me this idea. The next time you have an a-hole trying to intimidate you, call 911 and report a drunk driver. They won't be around hassling you too long. Just say you witnessed erratic driving, you don't need to give info about yourself.
