I can see accidentally cutting someone off and waving saying "my bad" and that should be the end of it. But thats uncalled for. Just always keep in your mind that some people go looking for trouble, and can back their ******************** up. My friend keeps a loaded glock with 2 full clips in his car... military people... what a wild bunch that is.

i must admit that sometime i get ticked off like that, but i don't really slow down, i SLAM on my brakes how frustrated it get, that really get those people's attention (and sometime their anger up even more). after its all over i tell myself how stupid i am to get to that level with those idiots....it doesn't happen anymore as often, but i think that Porsche does provoke a lot of anger in peoples heads.

but yeah, sometimes people can back that ******************** up, my friend got in some road rage w some guy, and little did he know they hit heavy traffic, guy got out w a baseball bat (according to my friend he was almost 7 foot tall 300 lb guy) and broke every single window in his car, and dented his whole left side 1/4 panel, door, and front fender. kid was too scared and never got his license or anything....

Damn dude thats nuts!

I'll add to the 'haters' theme

So the other day I was leaving the grocery store minding my own business. I came up to this STOP sign that's uphill. I coasted through it turning right at about 5mph or so. The car next to me honks,I thought oh well,it's uphill,we were the only 2 around and I'm in a hurry. Apparently he changed his course,cause when I saw him he was in the lane to take a left,he must have jumped into my lane. He pulls up next to me at a intersection a few blocks down and kept staring at me;

(after him staring at me for about 30 seconds)
bw- Can I help you?
guy - Fcuk you!
bw- Excuse me?
guy-Did you f*ckin stop back there?
bw- Nope,not completely.(I was angry now)
guy- You could have hit someone!
bw- o.k. old man,did you even look around? No one was there.
guy(looks forward) - *mutters more f-bombs*
bw- Look I'm 19,you an old guy you can at least look at me when your talking ****************.(I just stared him)

The light changes and he turns left and at the top of his lungs he yells, 'fcuk face!'

Oh man people are crazy.

I've seen people run straight through red lights and I've cared less,makes you really wonder how much someone could suck in order to follow you around.

Envy drives people mad. It's like we can't enjoy our hard earned money or good luck without their permission!

Even after a good night sleep I still am baffled as to why this guy would do that. Was he practicing NASCAR blocking moves? Goad me to race?

I'm used to guys trying to impress me with radical passing maneuvers in bumper to bumper traffic. Or "drafting" off my rear. Or pulling hole shots at when the light turns green. I tolerate it and smile cuz after all we were all daft when we were young. No offense to the young folks. We're supposed to be a little daft when young. LOL But last night was over the top.

I'm lucky that the trooper that stopped us was a cool guy. A lot of others would have cited me for something.

Do Vette drivers get the same thing? BMW M3's too? MB owners? etc.....
Or are Porsches considered easy prey? LOL

heh heh - when i am driving my old beater civic, I roll through stop signs 10 times worse than I do with my boxster. It is nice having a car that you can plow into a tree and not flip your lid after it happens.

I also don't know what any of you are thinking! I certainly wouldn't start a fight/brake check jerks with the Pcar. If you are going to start a fight, at least dont fight it with something you would want to not get dented/smashed.
