i had some lady in a chevy cut me off, she was in the middle lane of the high way doing about 55, i was in the fast lane doing 70, with no one infront of her, she proceeds to cut me off in my lane i switch into the middle lane pass her, and she cuts back into her lane. thats the kind of ******* drivers we have in oklah****inghoma. and the rest of the time these people will not let you pass or squeeze in with your signal on either.

On a more thread related note. Some old guy almost merged into my car the other day while i was driving next to him. I'm in a 3700lb car not a bicycle. It cant be hard to miss.....

Interesting. I'm having the same issue ever since I bought my 92SC in September 2012. I also get a lot of people tailing me. I don't have this same issue in my other car (Nissan).

I get cut off by those freakin Prius analclowns several times a day in my sc. I made a facebook post about it saying "all you prius owners trying to save $1, cost me $2 every time I find you on the road" The reason I say that is they cut me off and slow to 50mph in a 65. EVERY FREAKING TIME. Then I will get in slow lane and pass them with the bird directed at them. I mean my SC is a pig as far as weight and getting the v8 to downshift enough to pass easily eats a half gallon.
other than that, I dont get cut off much as I like to do 9 over the limit and cars around here like to tail me. around my house i deal with out of state drivers trying to go or come from the beach. usually they are exhausted when they get near my area. I meet a few good drivers out there who can play tag as well as convoy combat maneuvering. I been trying to teach my gf how to drive properly but it is way over her head. my brother is pretty decent but lacks the experience I have. Im sure when we go to TOTD this year he will be proficient enough to blcok drivers or make a complicated 5 car pass (5 cars together passing a series of slw vehicles in separate lanes). I miss the drive from nashville to deals gap, i guess delawre to delas gap will be just as fun just less mountains to play with

I never experience this. Most people get the hell out of my way. There's something sinister about SC headlights in your rear view mirror. They know something is coming lol.
I was tailgated once by some crappy non turbo mitsubishi in my winter SC. At the time one of my tires was low on air so I didn't want to gun it away from this guy trying to provoke me to race. It's like he was trying to feel better about himself for buying his piece of crap overpriced tin can of a car. I was on the right most lane on a three lane wide road, he could have passed me but just wanted to tailgate me... open road buddy go have fun! When I go fast in my SC I don't tailgate other cars to make myself feel better. I should have just slammed the brakes on my winter SC, taught him a lesson.

^^^ LOL, Kpierce007
On highways I get passed sometimes but more often I'm the one doing the passing while sticking with the general flow of traffic. Most drivers here in Florida don't know how to use turn signals or the use of the right and left lanes correctly. No courteous attention-getting does much. I feel like they're all thinking in slow motion.
I almost never get cut off the way the OP is describing in my SC unless it's rush hour-- when everyone gets cut off regardless of what they're driving. In other more sedate cars, sure, but not often in my SC unless it's by an idiot in a tin can econobox or a redneck in a huge F-350. You can't fault the car for those examples. Vette and Porsche drivers are going fast but are usually very polite about it.

Ever since I started driving an SC back in Dec 09, I've experienced a lot of road rage from other drivers. I do a lot of highway driving and always use my cruise control. It's funny how intimidated people get when I pass them...with my cruise on...and they immediately speed up...then slow back down, and I pass them again, which in turn pisses them off and they then try to cut me off or brake check me. If you're one of these type of people, you need to go commit suicide right now. Just sayin.
