Haven't had any road rage, just a lotta road luv.

Maybe it's the geographics, idk...

Most of the time if people are rolling down their windows at stop lights, they're asking questions like 'Is that a shelbly/cobra/whatever?', 'Can I hear the pipes?' The smart ones know it sounds better under load, so they'll ask if you'll do a little pull for them. Sometimes, if I'm feeling frisky, I'll give 'em the ol' 1, 2, 3. 🤪

Geez, come on, a Tundra trying to pass in the right lane showing off. No room for sure and nope didn't try to box him in. Always critics for sure. I did however enjoy the sunset

Now I have a S650 GT that I drive everywhere I go and I haven’t had anybody on my ass. I had my dark horse out for the first time this year a couple weekends ago and two different times some dude right against my back bumper. And they make an effort to catch up and get there.

I did dust a hemi wrangler with 37s that thought he’d show his wife how could bust a mustang 😃. And I shifted below 6000.
Yep, happened to me too recently on several occasions... red light, guy behind me stops right on my bumper. I move up a little, he moves up. I move a little bit more, he moves up. I thought if I move up 2 more times and he follows me into the intersection past the limit line I'll just whip a u-turn and get behind him at the red light!

People can be weird. They see a nice car, and they just can't behave themselves. I suppose one could argue that the "top trim" cars might get more attention because they are more "rare" but I think at the end of the day it just comes down to being in a public place at the same time as someone who has a beef with happy people driving nice cars.... I just don't engage as I want to be as forgettable as possible.

It's not road rage, but I had a kid in a Peugeot hot hatch try to keep up on a road trip earlier this year. He did a pretty good job of it. I wasn't going flat out, but the way the Mustand overtakes makes it hard for less powerful cars to keep up.
Most amusing.
On my last trip home from Canada, I had a fool in an older Honda Accord screwing around for quite a while. When traffic cleared, I nailed it and waved goodbye! Glenn

Peugeot sounds like something you get from loving an unclean woman.
