I've always figured the block-ins happen because people are inattentive and aren't paying attention...
Never occurred to me that it's intentional.
At least we have a dedicated safe place for inattentive people to do their texting, knitting, makeup etc...

Seriously, I'm thinking it IS the tint... But I had no choice in the matter since I bought the car used. If I could remove it without much fuss, I would.

hahahah pretty good...
the steering is off just enough at the end it looks like he is "drifting"
who ever was driving knows how to drive quiet well
(still I thought the shift in mid turn was a bit scary, maybe its a Ferrari thing and stability control manages that for ya?)

Hope I'm not too late to this thread....
I've had my 02 911 C2 for about a month now. I've ignored the chasers, let the middle school boys sit in her, and fielded questions from the guys that want one. The usual stuff...right? I had an unusual experience the other day, as I was driving home from my annual physical. I was in the left turn lane at a stoplight, windows down. A redneck pulls up next to me, no looks exchanged, and we sat there for 30 seconds before the light turned green. As I engaged the clutch, the dude yells, "You have a small peni$!". What's up with that? Is my doctor talking?

Mabuhay, you are correct, some people really dislike P-Cars. The first couple of months that I had mine I had all kinds of issues. Everything from being cut off 3 times by the same driver, (He was in a Saturn) and then he wanted me to get out and fight him? Then I was in a drive thru getting lunch one day and some assh$%# pulls right up on my bumper and taps me, I get out and his truck is still touching my bumper and I say, would you mind moving, he laughed and backed up. (No Damage though!) To being pulled over by the police for what they called a "Random Stop".
Just last week I was driving down one of the local highways doing the speed limit and I see a cop out of the side of my eyes, so I just keep doing what I am doing, then I pull up to a blinking light to turn left, this cop races up from a half a mile back and pulls right up on me, I see he is running my plates, and then he follows me for about a half a mile and then he turns around?
I asked my brother in law who has a Ferrari if this happens to him with the police, he said yes. They always think the car is his Dad's or they think the car is stolen. The police have no idea how much you can buy a Porsche for, in their eyes if you look under 70, then you must have stolen it. (I am in my mid 40's)
So to answer your question, there are a lot of people that don't like P-Cars...But try living in Detroit where everyone hates Diamler Benz for taking over Chrysler.....A lot of People here hate anything German......Which is why I think I was having so many issues at first? But these days I just take easy, I stay away from people and to be honest, I drive a lot different then when I first bought the P-Car...Almost more mellow at times.

All this reminds me of a joke my mother told me when I got my first 944.
An elephant is walking through the jungle, and he hears a mouse calling for help. He follows the voice and finds the mouse stuck in a deep hole, and he can't get out. The elephant says, "don't worry little guy, I'll save you." The elephant straddles the hole, lowers his dick down, and the mouse scampers up to freedom.
A few days later, the mouse hears a cry for help - it's the elephant stuck in a giant hole. The mouse squeaks, "Don't worry I'll get you out." Of course the elephant doesn't believe him. But within a few minutes, the mouse drives his Porsche to the edge of the hole, ties a rope to the back, throws the other end of the rope to the elephant and pulls him out.
Moral of the story, if you have a large *****, you don't need a Porsche!

I haven't had any issues where I live (about 1 hour north of NYC). What I find is that normally people will move out of the left lane for me, I'm not on their butt, although being speed yellow, they tend to see me and move over. On the other hand, if I'm driving into the city, most "ricers" try to race me on the parkways. I just keep driving like they are not there.
