Idiotic maneuvers

[TheSubtleCount]

Anyone care to share bonehead stunts that other drivers do when they see us our R8?

I'll start:

Today I was going up a pretty steep hill, on a 2 lane (in one direction) road.
A minivan was in the left lane, which is where I needed to be, so I passed him, from the right lane, after giving a left signal. As soon as I got in front of him, in the left lane, this guy (I can only assume it was a guy, from the testosterone display) passes me from the right lane, and gets in front of me. He then proceeds to weave across the 2 lanes, to teach me a lesson? Finally he winds up in front of me again, only to get into a left turn only at a stoplight, as I pass him standing still, and waiting, in the left turn only ane. I guess he wanted to show me how a fast a minivan can be gunned up a hill.....?

Next time I should have more respect for minivans....?

all I'm saying is I'm buying 6 of these:







I'm only joking but people seem to hate you if you drive a decent car. I've known people spit and tip things on a lambo that was parked outside a shopping centre(mall)

I had my car mistaken for a 300Z in a parking lot and then the guy goes on to tell me about his "race car" and shows me a pic of a clapped out civic on his phone.

To night I had a couple different dip****skis zooming around me light to light multiple times as I pulled away ever so painfully slow just to give them the clue I'm not interested in "racing" those turd buckets you call cars.

For the most part people have shown a lot of deference to the R8, honks, thumbs up and when my top is open I hear "nice car".

Yesterday coming home from the Audi Dealer a VW GTI and a Pick Up truck gave me a honk.

I had a guy stick his head up through the sun roof and take a picture. This was on the interstate at 70 mph.

I've noticed no one lets you out and 911 drivers wont even look at you...

I seldom give other drivers the satisfaction of knowing that I actually notice them....regardless of how hard they try to get my attention.

I've had people video me on their phones while driving on the freeway, take pictures from the back and sides while driving, and even had one guy in a convertible sit up in his seat backwards to take a picture while their top was down and facing the front of me.

I had one girl scream "**ck me in that car!" as I drove by coming out of a hotel on the Strip in Las Vegas a few weeks ago... definitely a varied mix of attention the car brings for sure

Haven't had any "race" challenges or jerks though... my interactions have all been pretty positive so far.

The most common annoyance for me is when people drive way to close to you, often so close that I can't see their license plate in my rear view mirror. My philosophy is that you should not tail gate someone with better brakes than you.

Just last night, we were driving in the rt lane wanting to turn left into a restaurant. As we slowed and turned on the lt turn indicator, a Z28 Camaro pulls up in the left lane. We slowed so he could go ahead and we could change lanes. He then slows down with us and matches our speed until we were almost stopped. All the time our blinker is on and the restaurant is getting closer. He makes a couple of jumps like he wants to race and we just ignore him hoping he'll go away. He finally jets ahead and lets us change lanes, and into the restaurant. In his defense, it was a college town (Stillwater, OK, home of Oklahoma State) on a weekend night and there aren't alot of super cars in Stillwater (more than one would think though).
