Same here. In fact I have noticed (and my wife even commented on it) that people tend to stay further away then with my previous cars.

I get the feeling that there is a new OT keep a word/drop a word type thread idea in here somewhere.

Gotta use actual thread titles though. No fun if we just made them up.

I don't think anyone has touched my car, but then again I live in Texas as well so maybe it's just depends on the area of the state?

I do get a lot of rubber neckers and it is annoying. Slowing down while they're in front of me seeing their eyes glued to their rear view mirror, people gawking as they slowly roll through a 4 way stop basically going a snails pace in the intersection, people that maintain speed with you trying to size up the car while I'm already signaling to switch/merge lanes.

Not a good idea to touch other people's car regardless of intent. Never know what the reaction might be...

I was driving my brother home after taking him out for his high school graduation celebration dinner. Some fella in a older truck took his sweet effing time making his way through the 3 way intersection while checking out my car. If he didnt look straight for another 2 seconds longer, he wouldve hit the Jersey barrier.

Uhhh just going to step here really quick. In Angry Birds the birds win by destroying everything. I think a better analogy would be real life duck hunt, no?

It's simply a combination of carelessness and stupidity. People are selfish.

They don't care if they cut you off as long as they don't spill their triple shot latte.

I've learned over the years to just ignore these idiots and let them stress over their own actions. If I'm really not in the mood, my inner thugness comes out with "IS YOU SERIOUS" and "THE FUCK OUTTA HERE BRUH".

Sometimes I touch cars to console them. Only when it's obvious the owner is a sack of crap that's been sitting out in the sun... I just feel so sad knowing what they suffer through every day.
