closer look. At a four-way stop, 9 times out of ten others always motion for me to go ahead of them and I think it is just to get a better look at the Blue BeauTTy. heheh I don't really find drivers rude on the highway at all, just the opposite. Hmmmm. Must be life here in the Midwest where I live.

Living in downtown Chicago I notice many TTs cruising the streets, yet I am still surprised the car attracts attention. I have noticed that the locals tend to ignore the car while the tourists seem to gravitate towards it. I guess it really it's a geographical thing. If you have seen many TTs you're less interested.
I do get more than my fair share of jerks while driving. On the highway I am often challenged by Chrysler Minivans (does every fan of NASCAR own one of these appliances?) and SUVs. I occassionally have fun with the SUVs. It is too delightful to resist sometimes-nothing like an exit ramp to separate the masses. I have had Lincoln Navigators and Cadillac Esclades try to follow me through an exit ramp. Most slow dramatically before the door handles scrap the tarmac.
Several editors for Edmunds and Autoweek have suggested that most SUV haters are envious of successful individuals. I guess I must fall into that category. I am really jealous that I do not own the latest under-engineered behemoth from the Big 3. ;-)
Cordially,

something with ***** like a '67ss Camaro, or a 95 5.0 mustang,or a honda civic Hatchback with an H22A4 prelude motor swap and yes this car which belongs to my friend can beat the everliving **** out of my car until we hit top speeds then I'm gone, or an turbo integra with a built B18c1 motor rockin a T3/T04e turbo another one of my friends that will just rock me up and down theres no chance for me beating that car as of now. It is really annoying that every high school kid wants to take a honda civic, put a "cold Air intake" throw on some Altezza lights and call it a race car. But every now and then you'll get the kid who does his/her homework and puts together one hell of a sleeper.

a lot of 'attempted' races by those who don't know better but very little negative attention - apart from the dipsh*t who keyed my door!
I'm also more in love with the car now than I was when I got it :-)

I think that not letting you in is a sports car thing. I got that all the time in my RX7. In both cars I find that I have to accelerate to change lanes even after signaling for several seconds because people refuse to let you in.

I pay way to much attention to the road looking out for the other guy. I have had co-workers comment asking me if it happens often sometimes. It depends on where I am when it happens.
In Kansas City itself, normally i might get a look here or there, but I'm sure there are more cooler cars than mine I guess. But if I get into a smaller area, where there isn't an Audi dealer for miles, I get some stares/points, kids plastering against the window and I find that fun.
