They're trying to get closer to get a look at what type of balling ass ride your driving. Duh!

I don't have this problem. Probably just bad luck of the draw today.

I live in LA. Tailgating is basically the norm.

Gailgating is the norm to use the car in front of you as drag so that you can get better gas mileage, we get it.

Getting better gas mileage is great...until you end up in their bumper and you're getting no mileage.

People ride my ass non-stop when I drive my BRZ, but SC drivers suck regardless, no matter what I'm driving.

It's weird, I've never owned a car that I've had people ride my ass so much. At first I thought it was people catching up to see what it was, but now it seems like pick up trucks, and luxury cars want to sit right at my rear bumper especially in traffic (annoying because their lights are blinding with our cars being so low).

Never got this in my GTI, Genesis Coupe, G35 Coupe , Lexus IS, etc. very strange...

Ok glad to see I'm not the only one with this problem. I'm going to toss this one up to capitalism and blame Black Friday like the Ruski that I am.

A nice, solid nickel out the moonroof usually suffices...oh wait, there isn't one

You might as well get used to it, they all want to be close!
