All the shit that happens on public roads you have to let roll off your back or you’d lose your mind.

It’s only getting worse too...

one incident: driving on the left lane within the speed limit at night with one car driving at the extreme right of a 4 lane relatively free highway. As his exist came, he swerved all the way to the left to the point of being an arms length of hitting me, than he swerved back to the right and took the exist. It was no mistake, not accidental driving, nothing provoking on my side absolutely period. If this did not happen to me and someone told me this story I would not have believed them but this did happen to me.

second incident: driving in deep traffic, four adults in a car swerved hard and cut me off very bad. I horned at them in which they proceeded to brake test me and made a clear signal that if I were to challenge them any further they will step out. This time, my friend as with me and he was in disbelieve this had just happened.

These are the two major events that left me very bitter. There are other lesser ones. Never in my whole life in any other car ever have I experienced anything remotely like this.

The car gets way way more attention than any other car I've ever had. Some can be positive and some can be negative.

You don't have Netflix for that?

Your earlier comment to @Tangizdope being either stupid or dumb was really out of bound and unnecessary at all. If you're bored don't you have better things to do?

Sounds like he’s just mad and salty he has a slow car and is constantly getting passed by soccer moms in mini vans on the freeway and he can’t take his rage out on them because they are a mile ahead by now so he has to come on here and rage at everyone. If only he had bought that mustang.

There is actually one instance where this does happen. I see people behaving nicely around black Dodge Chargers with black steel wheels because they think it’s an unmarked police car!

Can we focus more on cars less on people? I am here for Mustang comparisons. Not for how to act best on the road.

I feel that. I already apologized for going off topic and agreed that road rage is a mistake. But people continue to pound on me for another page after I said that the topic should be dropped. Usually on forums mods step in and suspend people or just lock the thread. But on this forum I only ever see mods step in on for sale threads.

I read about this in a article by a traffic cop. He actually sees this quite often and attributes it to the “parent state of mind”. That’s when someone decides they need to put you in your place ( by slowing you down) so you learn your lesson. He also said that this never works but some people feel the need to be vigilantes.

Meh you can't pre censor us with a warning at the end of a post. People will say things that disagree with what you wrote. If you can't take it don't post.
At least you figured out the right section of the forum this time.

Yes I would generally agree with this statement. But I was driving at normal speeds in very normal driving that would draw zero attention to myself.

I'll be frank, I drive way more recklessly in the BRZ now and I don't get half as much grief from other drivers.

Matt Farah the famous YouTuber commented on negative attention you get when he was test-driving a Lamborghini. People just get salty when you're driving a nice car and they're not.

whatever

I'm not going to repeat myself, if you have any personal arguments to make you're always way more than welcome to PM me at anytime.

Else, I'm sticking to replying to posts that are relevant to the thread.
