Default Aggressive drivers

Since I picked up my 225QR last Saturday, I've experienced no end of aggression on the part of other drivers. I've ben tail gated, cut off, paced...etc. This morning a Neaderthal in a pickup truck was right on my rear, for several miles, at
70 m.p.h.!
Has this happened to others?Is this part of the TT experience? This happened to a much lesser degree when I had my New Beetle.

Default simple solution....apply more pressure to gas pedal till they dissapear from view

....seriously though the TT seems to attract bad drivers from ricers to relics in Caddies...they all want a piece of ya =)
Honestly have no advise on this problem...I am not much of a role model to anyone, especially toting 11 points on my License...

Default i have noticed the same thing; i sometimes wonder if...(more)

these people have heat-seeking sensors in their front bumpers. and on the way back from jason's,on a back road, i tried to pass a funky old sedan and i realized the guy was accelerating as i did to prevent me from getting back in.

Default No, Little Boys in Home Painted Hondas are the Worst

They're young, immortal and inexperienced. I'm not talking about the almost "pro" guys who race every weekend, I'm talking about the ones who saw "Fast and Furious" and try to relive it on the road... I do have to confess to a love of leaving them in the dust past the first 1/4-1/2 mile... and yes, I'm a female.
