I seem to be attracting a lot of (negative) attention in this car

Default I seem to be attracting a lot of (negative) attention in this car

People are cutting me off and generally driving dickish around me way more than in my old car I don't get it.

Just 5 mins ago I turned left onto the 4 lane boulevard that goes up to my apartment complex. 2 seconds before I turned left, a newer Jeep Wrangler turned right onto the road coming the opposite way and got in the right lane.

So I upshifted into 2nd at 2.5k, upshifted in 3rd at 3k right as I was starting to pass him on the left. Just as I got the shift in the fuckin guy just cuts over in front of me really fast with no blinker for no reason and almost hit me. There are seriously no left turns for another 3/4 mile on this road. So I held down the horn for a solid 2 seconds, then got in the right lane and started to go around him in 3rd. Fucker starts weaving back and forth so I can't get by him on either side. So I dropped it into 2nd, redlined and got off a perfect 2-3 shift and blew him the fuck away. A little more satisfying than D4 :chuckles:

Maybe it's because it's a new(er) car and the Flintoids are angry at me for not supporting the UAW?
