It was a stock civic sedan. There's nothing sporty about his car at all, in fact I poke fun at it all the time for being the epitome of a 4-banger import. The guy was wasting his time trying to get us to race.

Brake checking wouldn't be coming to a complete stop, in fact, you should really just tap the brake pedal to get your taillights lit up without slowing your car substantially.

It's possible he wanted you to hit him. (Insurance wise... if you rear end someone, it is almost always your fault)... Insurance fraud is a big business. Just throwing it out their... you never know.

Hey fen, don't discount the fact that the guy may just have been the biggest douche in the world and was trying to flat out just be a dic*. Maybe he had Corvette muscles!

Dude, I actually had that happen andn and I was driving my TRUCK! (See sig) It was a little freaking Honda Fit, but the kid dropped her phone, and decided to stop in the middle of the road, in front of me, in a 6 inch suspension lifted, 4x4. Moron. My Brush Guard was at about the top of her back window!

Reputation of corvette owners tainted? Reaching a bit?

This is not england. It's not the object it's the acts of a person.

A *** **** is what you saw. Just happened to be driving a Corvette.

Usually, you can call in the plate numbers and report a complaint. If they keep up and keep getting complaints, they'll be pulled over one day and the officer will see that and possibly not give them a break on a ticket.

So yes you can do something, but the odds are it won't really do anything. You could pull up next to them and tell them to pull over and have a good old fashioned bare knuckle conversation about his actions.

Yeah, I hate people who drive Corvettes, too










Very strange behavior, though. Did you get a chance to look at the driver as you passed him? Facial expression, anything?

The car is totally innocent of any crime here. The comment is like how England thinks knifes and guns float in the air and kill people all by themself. Same as a Corvette.

Someone had to drive it the computers are not that advanced to where the vette decided all of a sudden to drive like a jerk. Same goes with a Camaro SS, which has a vette engine, it's also innocent when someone like flips off the other brand new Camaro owner, which has happend.
