So, typical Wednesday on the way home from work. In the middle lane of the freeway and some guy in a minivan decides to signal last second and tries to move into my lane, within 5 feet in front of me. In fact, one of his tires is already half way across the divider.

I honk for a good 2 secs. Otherwise, I am sure he would've plowed right into me. We were going about 50 mph+ on the parkway.

At the end of the parkway, we both are at the red light. He pulls next to me, and says that just because I drive a Porsche, that I think I can do that to people? I'm totally bewildered because I thought I had spared him an accident. Of course, we exchange some choice words. I usually don't engage, but when someone is such a blatant $#%#@#$ I can't help myself.

His last parting words were, "You're an A*&hole. Just look at the car you drive." I had to laugh at that one.

Anyone of you folks have similar experiences?

 

It happens all the time in So.Cal. Just have to refrain from some of these idiots! :-)

 

I'm confused.

Are you an a-hole because you drive a Porsche, or do you drive a Porsche because you're an a-hole??

 

Just drive in front of them, then, hit the brakes HARD. You will have scored some real points and somebody will have to throw some ****ty underwear away!! They will only do that ONE TIME. Not kidding. It's aggressive passive driving. :-)

 

yes.

 

creative post

 

You don't drive much in so cal do u?lol Your just asking for it doing something like that!

 

Yes. It is remarkably effective. Lol. especially to drivers that are : 1/ hanging on the phone, 2/ changing diapers, 3/ have 3 fingers up their noses 4/ drive Volvo's.

 

^dumbest thing i have heard, risk getting rear ended to prove a point, bravo

 

so what do you do when said car you just brake checked plows into the back end of your car and he has no insurance, green card and bails out and takes off for the hills? you now have a trashed car and you get to pay for it.
better yet brake check a tractor trailer and get a free pass to the great beyond.

 

My wife and I always talk about how minivan drivers are the absolutly worse!!!!

They speed, they do dangerous manuvers, they don't signal and cut you off. The one that gets me the most is when they don't let you pass. I'll be on cruise and move over to the passing lane on the left to pass. The second my nose comes into view they speed up.

Driving around in my Porsche, I have never felt safer in the terms of control. I just don't understand people driving crazy in cars not designed for performance. It really pisses me off when they put me and my family at risk.

 

It wouldn't be so bad if the engine wasn't in the rear. I'll risk it in the beamer . . . never in the Porsche.

 

Only 18% of Californians driving in the State have no insurance. That's why you have an uninsured insurance clause. Anybody hitting you in the back is at fault. Makes you wonder doesn't it?? I was just having fun with you. Just screwing with you! But, I guess all of you are ready for an electric automatic Google car without driver !! In the meantime go and vote now I have your attention.

Sounds like a good way to:

A) get rear ended
B) get shot
C) waste energy on someone who's opinion
You can't change.

 

Crazy huh? The work trucks doing 90 and weaving like crazy. Or the minivans who do 65 in the fast land and cause traffic to shuffle around them.

I wish we had a left passing only lane that carried a hefty fine for holding up.
