I'm not so worried about the friendly part. It's more of a fast issue. People tend to either exaggerate or have NO SENSE OF SPEED (in reference to reporting you). This is kinda hard to explain, but have you ever seen a punk kid come down the street in their Ford Contour (or whatever)... the engine is SCREAMING, and it seems like they're going fast, but in actuallity they're still in first gear, so they're doing less than 25mph and accelerating at a... well, a Countour's pace! It sounds fast and wreckless, but if you were deaf, you wouldn't notice anything out of place.

Oh, and the other thing is mistakes. We've all misjudged exits and such... From another car, an error in judgement and an absolute jerk are identical. Being in a Porsche, people will want to lean towards the jerk spectrum on that one. Am I wrong?
