Nissan Cock Envy?

I got rudely cut off three times today. All Nissans, two Maximas and one Sentra. They seemed to drive really aggressively around me for no particular reason... any history of this with previous Subaru owners? Anyone else get this in the BRZ?

There are all kinds of bad drivers. I watched a Ferrari 599 drive around on the interstate like a moron. Even money isn't a cure.

I don't think it's nice to automatically label drivers in certain cars, you'll usually spot an idiot driver a mile away, in front or behind, it's a good idea to drive defensively and don't engage the other driver but to passively get away from them. I've seen some stupid behavior from a few maxima drivers- weaving in traffic and tailgating, but I've also seen some nice and amiable driving from altima drivers.

not very useful but in rural texas DODGE RAM = automatic Jackass. I havent had any issues with nissans although ive heard they rival Subaru. idk exactly why because subaru and mitsubishi are huge rally rivals.

Hah I feel that, been tailgated and mexican road blocked by a douche hemi driver or been choked out by remapped cummins (lol, i dont care) diesels, encounters like that are like in this stephen spielburg flick "Duel" 1971; if you got an hour and a half this is a great movie:

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgZz9HwDhms"]Duel (1971) HD 720p - ( original soundtrack) Full Movie - YouTube[/ame]

.

Also if you want to see some nismo infiniti jackassery, watch this:

"With great [drifting] power comes great responsibility" is what I always remind myself whenever I see a janky looking lowered piece of scrap metal that revs its refurbished engine at me while attempting to cut me off 15 mph over the speed limit. To those people I laugh pitifully.

Maybe it's a regional thing. In my area the worst behaved owners are Mitsu owners, followed closely by Subaru. All young morons who think they have hot fast cars because Import Tuner and Fast and Furious.

Although one particular douchebag in an old Corvette had something to prove one day and drove like an idiot around me.

A broad in a Nissan Maxima is the reason why my car is currently fucked. My girlfriend has also noticed that Nissan drivers tend to be bad at driving.

Honest opinion? I think the Nissan appeal to people who are looking for a certain image that a Honda/Toyota don't provide and they drive like they have something to prove as a result. AKA: they think they bought a sports car and thus they drive like asses.
