Drivers in pick-up trucks have the lowest rate of tickets: http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com...t-tickets.aspx

No problems here in LA where we are all rich and arrogant, even the truck drivers. Just kidding. I just smile and tell them to have a fantastic day.

I've had a few compliments and no negative comments (at least that where audible). I do get the occasional rev by a G35 but it seems more frequent the STI/WRX and Evo crowd. Not saying they could or couldn't beat me in a straight line as I know how fast they are but odd that the trend seems to be with them.

In my daily (a Grand Cherokee), I seem to get cut off a lot by BMW and Prius drivers. My personal favorite is the aggressive Prius driver racing from light to light diminishing whatever fuel savings he/she has to beat the sports utility vehicles and then drive slow once they get in front of you. LOL

With the ride height and those tires there is definite Hummer Derangement Syndrome with Prius drivers. A good trick to keep from getting hassled in the 911 : Keep your windows up, crack the sunroof upwards a bit and blast "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath. That should do it
