In my limited time of ownership I've already experienced some strange activity with drivers around me, the most strange thing by far though was a driver of a genesis 2.0t..... I was just doing a random morning drive and I guess I caught the eye of the next Michael Schumacher. Anyway, he starts following me, I don't notice until maybe about 5 minutes so I start testing if he actually is, doing a bunch of turns going through residential areas, he was following me, so I thought to myself, I have a full tank of gas, I wonder if he does, and I wonder how much he would like to go in circles(if anyone saw this they would be so confused).. I took him to a roundabout and did maybe 15 rounds until he gave up, not sure what he was looking for, but just imagining he confusion when instead of trying to lose him in a corner I just go in circles

Same behavior holds true here in SoCal. Thankfully I've ridden sportbikes all my adult life so I'm used to being "invisible" and having people cut me off. But hey, the damn car is bright friggin yellow and people just don't see me! I just have adapted to the motorcycle mindset--just pretend nobody sees me. Still doesn't explain why people are blatantly aggressive towards this little car.

Nobody beats me to a merge unless they have a pretty fast car and are trying. I don't feel like dealing with idiots trying to merge. If you can out drag me I'll give it to you.

I've done the same thing. Theres a decent sized roundabout near my house, and one day on my way home a riced out Civic SI was following me. I went to the roundabout and just kept going until he was forced to understeer out at ~55mph

I was on a backroad coming from the beach and a VW touareg was going slow as hell, and I decided Im not going to sit behind this slow poke for the next 10 miles on backroads I would pass him. It was double yellow lines so I understand it was dangerous but I waited until a long straight that was safe and judging by his speed I easily could have and did pass him without any problems. This **** swerved into the oncoming lane just to block me at the last second (remind you he was going very slow and still did not speed up) then had the douche bagness to flip me off as I passed him. What kind of a terrible human being would swerve into the opposite lane to block a passing car on backroads, this really bothered me. Getting the finger from some old grump who doesn't like to be passed is one thing but to swerve to block what the hell.

There are alot of people out there who SHOULD NOT be allowed to drive... It's a wonder how they're still alive... California has some of the worst drivers.


Just this afternoon on my way to work an ass hat in a Mercedes c230 decided he wanted to change lanes while driving through an intersection without signaling...

Welp, 2 and a half months of owning my baby and I finally had my first asshole of a driver try and outrun me. I was heading towards a 2-lane loopy interchange (not sure of the technical term). In front of me was a Charger, and in front of that some kind of pickup truck. Not a single person was in front of this pickup, so he was setting the (very slow) speed for the rest of us. So of course, I try to go around in the empty lane next to us so I could overtake them both during the turn. Well I see the pickup driver's head look in his mirror, see me coming up, and immediately cuts me off (no blinker because this is typical LA driving). SO, do I let his slow ass slow me down where my car excels? Hell to the no. I use the gap he left in the other lane to get in front of the Charger (sorry if I cut you off, I love muscle!). At this point, the smart ass pickup decides to floor it during the turn, but of course could not keep up. He was greeted with a great big middle finger once the turn was over. Not sure if he saw it as he was already a good 3-4 car lengths behind by that point.

86: 1, Pickup: 0

Had some form of challenger enter the highway slightly infront of me while I was in the left lane. He immediately cut half way into my lane and floored it. *Insert loud big engine exhaust sound here* I assume he thought I'd be in the dust. I was not. Saw him do a double take out his window and got off the next exit.

I had a Lexus slow chase me down over a long straight just to be a half car-length ahead for a tight turn that he slowed down for while I was still accelerating. He never caught back up.

He's just looking to piss some psycho off having a bad day and put 124-230 grains of lead into his brainpan by pulling crap like that.
Don't worry, if he pulls that stunt enough, he'll get what he's looking for.
