Not sure I can agree there, at least not entirely. Indeed if I were driving like I had the fastest thing on the street someone out there in a Grand Caravan is going to put me in my place until the road stops going straight, lol.
Same color as you, just not as noisy, and I drive and commute very tame, contrary to my car's appearance, and yet frequently get people trying to mess around while I'm literally locked at the speed limit using cruise control, in the right lane, in 6th and barely making a sound compared to all you manual owners at the same speed and gear. On any given night and/or planet alignment I'll get some assclown in a G37 coupe, or a BMW 3-series, or some guy who just
had to put giant fart cannons on the back of his S2000, trying his damnedest to get my attention and see if I'll be stupid enough to go along with him. Match my speed and get alognisde me, gun it for a few seconds, see that I'm not doing anything different. Rinse and repeat for a mile. No cops to be found at times like these, of course.
But let me even appear to be speeding because my car's low slung and bright orange, Smokey will pull me over and try to ruin my day instead of the grey Accord in front of me that was indeed speeding. I think it's more of a YMMV situation and not just how the car is driven.
