Now that I am driving the 928 on a daily basis, I can't count how many times people have cut me off or changed lanes in front of me. It is like they can't see me. I don't drive in blindspots and prefer to be by myself as much as possible. I didn't have this issue in the truck! Anyone else notice this?

You would probably notice that in any car, after getting used to driving around in your urban assault vehicle.

Perry-

Nope, really don't have people cutting me off since I'm usually passing/going faster than everyone else

I always have my parking & Fogs on, might help. Mac

I put a set of Hella FF75 driving lights in the grill.
That seems to help get me noticed. Those H5 driving spot beams are bright.

Wonder how deadly those narrow angle beams are with an HID upgrade.
Lightsabers on.

well if your laying back to stay out of the debris trail from the car/truck in front then this is understandable, the best remedy is to lift off the fast pedal and check your rear view mirror. OTOH you could be doing the faster than everyone else and riding someone elses rear bumper, this helps to get you to your new paint job much faster.........just my 2 cents

When I drive the 928 I get tailgated and people are even less inclined to let me merge. Funny thing i that many of the tailgaters are Asian sedans in bland colors, and the person behind the wheel often does not look like he/she has much personality, either. And then there are the trucks and some SUVs, which are a whole different stories.

Yes, there are reasons not to drive the car during the week when people are under more pressure.

I notice that as well.. In my Mazda people hardly notice me.. In the Shark it's like a twit magnet, every idiot in a honda whatever for miles around is attracted to me, especially those with those stupid mufflers.

I drive between the 55 freeway LAX every business day with my 98 Prelude. It seems the deeper I get into the O.C. the more often I get cut off.

I tend to think it is an envy thing.

See my post in Off topic...................

I agree. Even pickups cut in just to PO me. Maybe they just want to see a burn out? Maybe it's an off-duty cop? If it looks like a serious vehicle, sometimes I oblige. I don't waste rubber on trash drivers.

My wife once commented that my car looked like a Pinto (right before I killed her). I think that even though the car feels big, it is quite small and low profile --not intimidating like a Tacoma.

I know people aren't seeing me so it has to be the small size. Maybe I will try the fog lights. My buddy was laughing at me the other night because I took the onramp fast into traffic on the 405 South, (he was trying to follow me in the Volvo C30) when I saw this car ahead that just made me let off the gas and sure enough, over into my lane she came, no signal, no looky!! Had I stayed on the gas I would have been done. Seriously, it happens at least once a day and I am not cutting, weaving or pretending other cars are cones.

That's your basic 'Justifiable Wifacide' right there.
