Do you guys get 'harassed' everytime you drive your car? (and other good car stories)
I don't know what the deal is, but it seems like everytime I take the GT2 for a drive...some person in a ________*insert Mustang, minivan, 335i, Diesel truck, SUV, etc...* either tries to race me, or starts driving extremely aggresively around me. It's almost like they are literally pissed off at me.
It was never this bad with my 996TT, my Z06 or any of my ///M cars.
I'm honestly not instigating it by driving crazy or aggressively. I've actually been staying in the right lane and staying within the speed limit a lot lately.
Are you any of you guys noticing this as well? Is it a maybe function of the current economy? It's not like I'm driving an extremely flashy car like a Lambo or Ferrari or anything.
Thoughts?

I now have a white 997tt and the same thing keeps happening to me too. My friend has a black one, it's not the same with it.

Oh I have a black 996tt and even semi drivers harass the living hell out of me..Ive had one try to push me off the road for no reason. I can drive more aggressively in the bmw audi whatever and never get harassed
I'm not looking for a street race or anything, but it'd be nice to get cajoled a bit on occasion (preferably someone slower than me
).

I was REALLY harassed today and became almost dangerous. I'm used to the mustangs, vettes, etc, but a Nissan Titan Red pickup hooked onto my bumper at the stop light and stayed there up to 60mph. He then tried to pass so I floored it to put some distance away from the guy. I looked in the mirror after passing 110 and he was STILL on my bumper. It was ridiculous. The road squeezed down to one lane or else he'd try to pass me at that speed. In a PICKUP!! I slowed back down to the limit when the lanes opened back up to two and let him go by. He had a wife and 2 kids in car seats as he went by. Can't believe anybody would do that in that type of car and his family. If I did that with my wife in the car, I'd be speaking in high voices from there on out!
Is it jealousy or anger because they're living in a family car and I'm able to get a sports car? I don't know but its getting ridiculous. I can't go out anywhere without somebody calling me out. Usually, I just ignore them.
