After 25 yrs of marriage and with the kids almost raised my wife said I should finally get the 914 I wanted since I was 17. In December I did just that. I usually post in the originality forum but I want to post this in the garage.
I’ve been the recipient of 3 unprovoked obscene gestures ranging from teens along the road on bikes to a middle aged guy in a Dodge sedan who pulled up beside me on the passenger side. I’ve also been tailgated dangerously close 2 or 3 times by guys in large pickup trucks. One of them cut me off getting back into my lane. The most recent incident was this morning so it is fresh on my mind. All I could see was the grill of his Dodge Ram. I lost him on the curved road but then traffic back up and he finally caught up and got even closer. I know I don’t live in “anything goes” sunny CA or in Florida where they’re all around so maybe it is the area (central PA). It is Phoenix Red so maybe the color sets them off. Is there something about these things that people don’t like? Did I unknowingly buy a classic car that is preferred by those in alternate lifestyles and since I'm driving on it is assumed I do as well? Just the random acts of jerks? Any similar experiences? I might start taking Sadie (not my wife, my German Shepherd) along with me on my Saturday early morning spins. Thoughts? Thanks Steve |

Stupid rednecks that think you're trying to prove something because you're driving a foreign car? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) That would be my guess. My response to those kind of people is always, "You're not that important! If you feel inferior, than that's your problem." Anything like this video?
