Has anyone else found this to be true? I continually find that Pickups express ill will against my 996 Cab. It seems that they truly detest my little blue car.

I have been accosted in a parking lot for parking away from the majority of cars. The PU driver screamed at me, you think your car is too good or something. (and of course someone will be parked next to me when I get back to my car.)

They have tried to cut me off and been successful at times.

These PU drivers purposely not allow me to pass by staying in the left lane and matching the speed of the person in the right lane on the highway at 54 mph,

Tailgating is another annoying habit I have experienced. High beams during the day and on my bumper. Although this one is usually easily rectified.

I have been passed on a residential road while I was doing 29 mph in a 25.

Now mind you, that I do not have a Frogger style of driving on the highway. I drive speed limits or very close to them in residential areas. Stop completely at all stop signs. Generally follow the rules of the road. I am guilty of driving back rural roads spiritedly, speeding on interstates and unnecessary acceleration to put a smile on my face and not on my wife's face.

Am I just lucky and found a unique set of PU's or have other experienced this phenomena?

 

Yes I feel your pain. Where I live sin so cal there are freeway 4 wheelers who, by any means necessary need to beat me to the next stop light and tailgate just so they can make me move out of their way to satisfy some kind of power trip. I don’t understand the logic really. I just let them go in ahead and enjoy my drive. I also see a very childish Chevy/Ford/dodge contest often also.

 

Around here, 50% chance that someone camped in the left lane is driving a pickup truck. I don't think that it is just you they are angry at. Anyone driving a pickup that isn't filled with dirt/tools/hay is likely deeply angry at their life choices.

 

On my way towards Niagara Falls one day I had a Ford Powerstroke diesel literally trying to get into any position to hit my car with his black smoke. He would speed up, slow down, change lanes at any cost to do this. The kid looked 16 and of course appeared to be wearing a monster hat upon his 120lb body. He is lucky I didn't see him stop anywhere because I am pretty sure I could have broken him in half. I hope he knows that truck isn't hiding his small manhood.

 

If someone is being a douche, I'll pull into the right-most lane and let them go about their business. They can run their own race.

I was going along this AM, in the second lane from the right, when a CHP cruiser came past with about 10 MPH over my speed. He went to the left, and pulled over the guy in the carpool lane a hundred yards ahead of me.

In California, the CHP gets most of their operating revenue from vehicle registrations, so they are merciless on drivers with expired tags. I suppose that was what prompted the stop.

 

I've had two trucks try to "roll coal" on me while driving with the top down ("try" being the operative word). There's plenty of truck owners here in VT, and most are respectful, but when I see one with a lift kit, giant pipes, and massive tires coming up in my rear view, I tend to speed up and/or get out of their way...

 

aaawww you poor dears.....it is sad that many mortals just do not know you are driving [probably in the left lane] a car made by and for the gods. Why not pull those heathens over and give them a good going over.....get back to us on that

 

Aside from the typical mentally debilitated drivers that ride my *** regardless of what I'm driving, can't say there's ever been an actual bad encounter in the bright red car.

Then again, I may be getting flipped off on a daily basis, but when you're going that fast it's hard to see a skinny sausage finger from the rear view mirror.

 

Clearly you have never encountered 12 lifted brodozers in a Timmie's parking lot, eh? They are a rowdy bunch. Especially the trucks here in Canada with their confederate flags flying high.

 

PU's sure. My biggest problem are the jacked up ones with monster truck tires taller than my entire car. They have difficulty seeing me in their outside rear views and tend to want the same space I am already occupying. There are d**ks driving all types of vehicles these days. Heck I had a dude in a Caddie with farting can mufflers want to race the other day. I launched then immediately jumped out of throttle to watch him burn copious amounts of gas speeding away. Pulled up next to him at next stop light, he did not want "go" again. Some need to exhibit their alleged power through their vehicles. I just let them go. With age comes some knowledge.

 

Selfish, inconsiderate, egotistical, ignorant, hate filled drivers are no respecter of any brand of car.

 

I have experienced this in just about every corner of the country I've been in. When I lived in SoCal if I went anywhere inland some shoe sized IQ goobers would roll coal, or swerve to the shoulder to kick up dirt and rocks, etc. In the backwoods of North Carolina the poor inbred basterds seemed down right hostile. Tailgating and then passing only to slam on their brakes. I don't get it. But I'm sure I'd be unhappy with my life if I was the product of meth fueled inbreeding and was just trying to impress my sister/wife with my manly skills of picking on those gay little Europeeeean sporty cars. Occassionally I'll experience some of that hostility here in the dairy land. But by and large people out in the country here are fairly friendly and I've gotten my fair share of thumbs ups from camo clad pickup drivers. But also for each one of those I've also gotten weird looks and tailgating as well. Some people are just A** holes and pr$cks. Others probably just dumb kids. Whatever the case is, at the end of the day I am privileged to experience the great joy of driving a rear engined German sports car, and no sister f$*king, meth smoking, tobacco chewing red neck in a truck with a confederate flag can change that. Unless of course the smash into me. At that point I will weep.

 

Not specifically to my Porsche, but a$$holes will be a$$holes. I try my best to ignore a$$holes in all walks of life. They're just not worth my time or attention. Of course there are always exceptions, but for the most part I try to "steer clear" and give them some "benefit of doubt" (who knows what sort of nightmare their life might be at the moment...stress causes people to do stupid $hit).

 

Man, You're so wrong for making such a statement!

What in the tar nation were you thinking, dude???!!!

Don't you know that hillybilly rednecks don't "f*ck" their sisters? That's just sick man!

Actually, they go for the cousins! They learned from the movie Deliverance!


bwahahahahaha!!!!

banjo music anyone?

 

The worse is the Honda Civic boyz with the 45$ exhaust, (I call them the Bolt on Boyz) trying to egg me on at every light where I live, it truly is a daily event - After many of years dealing with it, I have a trick I do daily, I would Rev up the 996 (Fabspeed Exhaust) and have them thinking I am going for it, when light turn green, I release 1st slowly.....then watch them race alone and laugh, never gets old... As for other drivers\Trucks\etc people generally suck...
