I drove the Box to work today. It amazes me how pickup and SUV drivers can see right over me and tailgate at any speed to bully me or goad me to speed up and get into a contest of who can drive the fastest.

Pulling over usually does the trick. I'm 52 years old now, and I have nothing to prove to anyone except myself.

BTW, I also have a BMW 550i which is my DD. In the last six months of sitting in Houston traffic, I have become "that BMW driver" who uses all that HP to scream up the right side exit lane and dart into an open space instead of poking along while everyone else does it. The power of that car is absolutely astounding. My next Porsche must have a sub 5 second 0-60 time. I'm spoiled.

I toot along around the speed limit in the right lane and ignore these over amped types and pretend I'm the well-adjusted, well- educated and relatively rich person they imagine me to be unless they tailgate me for a while and a curve presents itself whereupon I'll instruct them on racing line, Boxster agility and grip levels and g-force levels they've never experienced before. They never tailgate me after that. Schools out!
