Witnessing a few members here belittle and blast owners of different makes / models in order to feel better about themselves and their cars is imo pretty poor form. It amazes me that some are unable to realize it truly feeds the stereotype.

Why Thank You. Maybe I'll come up with something original, like a silver Porsche

Well, I did actually feel better about myself for about 30 min. Now I need to come up with a new avatar.....

Just funnin' with you Timco, my Porsche is silver also. I'm not usually the type to enjoy raining on parades but I do like to point out the obvious sometimes.
BTW....I've actually had a few positive comments on my avatars, they're rather unique imo....

I dont care for those that think it is otherwise.

This is my standard operating procedure. Avoiding eye contact seems to be the best way to prevent &/or end roadrage. That's not to say that everyone here can't rest assured I am hard at work breaking down long held stereotypes about "Barbie cars"

I wasn't serious in any way either. I laugh at your avatars. It was the obvious answer to your comment.

The tone of replies is interesting because I never even thought about it from my Boxster's point of view because it's the truck all day and I get bored driving. I'm always surprised at how many people are looking at me! (In the old 2000 Ranger)

With the top down I think it is mandatory to look around, that's why the top is down. I don't normally look at other drivers directly
I don't look in the mirror to check my hair
With the Top up I almost never look at other driver except other P-cars. Even 911 drivers, Were all in this together
Exception to the rule is if I just got cut off - Then I need to see what the 'F...' Their problem is.
Do they have a phone stuck up their 'Arse', older(watch out here I'm older), Challenging me or just lousy drivers - 'I gots To Know'
I definitely don't look at other drivers if I'm picking my nose
** Don't do this when the Top is down **

People seem to want me to look at them, and pull up really close or right beside me. I tend to ignore them, unless it's a better car than my own. Which it rarely is.

I know people look at my car and I have been yelled at nice car etc. As a hole I try not to. I was looking in my mirror last week and a middle aged woman in a newer chevy pick up took a picture of the car with her cell ?
