Must be the aura of a Porsche that attracts....

the ricers or others wanting to challenge and race you. I too get this almost every time I take my Boxster out. And I drive on the backroads just out of the city to get away from traffic. But as soon as I get back into the city, I always have someone trying to egg me on. Guilty, as I have taken the bait a few times. Actually I give them a head start and then blow by them. Someone said it right, envy. A few weeks ago, while I was cruising just to relax and destress, some guy and his gal came racing up right beside me in his 2007 Corvette (not Z06) and then slows right down and cruises beside me. Then he takes off zig zags between traffic and almost cuts someone off as the lane he was in ended. I just went the speed limit and said to myslef, what an idiot! If there was a clear road, would have been nice to see how the 3.4L faired against the new Vette. I think regardless of the outcome, he would have been surprised.
