Anyone tailgates the Dangermobile, I hit the button that sprays down oil and tacks.

Don't waste the oil... Just pretend you are going around something in the middle of the road and watch the tailgater fade away fast.

This works well. Showing a tailgater brake lights almost never works, but a couple of hard swerves and they think you're a maniac and back the hell off.

Here's my thought. It's one thing when you are behind someone and pushing them - Shame on you - BUT when you are in front and doing your own thing, then enjoy the show in the rear view mirror as you pull away on your nice level machine. Since taking ownership I have noticed some other drivers who feel compelled to impress the Porsche driver. It is a great responsibility driving the car (Grin Making Machine) that other cars are compared to

Just to be clear, I wasn't pushing anyone, I hate when that is done to me and I do not do it to others, I just wasn't being lost either. To take the inside open lane and execute a hard right would have been an easy legal move, one I think he would have tried to match from the outer lane with less than Boxster-ish results. I pick my places, I guess my point is not to get other people driving crazy because they can't handle the presence of a Porsche car.

Feel kind of like a shark swimming with 'da fishes! They are going to do what (what ever the heck) they are doing….we just bob and weave to get on on our way…and not get fouled!

Thanks for the responses, so far none have quite worked on the wife, but they have been fun reading! At least I know I'm not alone! There are a few AWAKE individuals out there!

When I had one of the first MINI Cooper S's in town I noticed large SUV's trying to hang to get a closer look on cloverleafs and forget about the speed I was carrying into the turn.I never had to touch the brake and they forgot that they should.I could see them crossed up and almost on the door handles many times!

Just my opinion boys but the cliche Spider-man "with great power comes great responsibility" has to be weighed. I came upon a turbo 350 Chevy Nova, he was all fired up, I was right behind him for his entire show and could have taken a lane before two lanes go into a very tight but familiar right hand corner and thus obliterated him right where a Boxster shines best. There is no way steroid lad would have pulled that off. Now let's say he wipes out kills other people in his wake, etc. It's very likely where I live that the lead car that drove away clean and swiftly still might get sucked into that legal vacuum. I'm too old and sore for the iron house or worse yet knowing someone died because an idiot thinks a Nova with a turbo, fresh bushings and lock washers = Boxster Spyder.
