Boxster & S2000 Road rage
I have been driving my Boxster for 2 weeks now and I can honestly say I have had more abuse and road rage in these 2 weeks than the whole 2 years of driving my S2000
On the way home from work there is one of those sets of traffic lights with 2 lanes but when you go over there is only one lane (who the f designed these chicane set ups?) I suffered rage once in the S but in 2 weeks of driving the Porsche I have had 4 similar road rage attacks, the worst last night.
Picture this, I am in the outside lane waiting behind a van, lights go Green we pull off, as you go over you are supposed to filter so I am indicating to pull across to the left, there is barely a car width left between me and the curb when I hear a loud exhaust, a tw@t in a Tigra with Tigra decals down the doors races down the side to block me getting in, I am now stuck on the wrong side of the road with a truck approaching, the idiot behind him as also closed the gap, they are pushing me for a head on...why??? Maybe because they hate Porsches? I have my roof down so I can hear all, I look across to the guy in the Tigra and he has his Vs up, he then shouted an all time hated word by me that makes me see Red Cu#t.. I know some of you will say let it pass, I couldnt... I held down the horn (don

Only two options in my book:
1) barge in (aka filtering)
2) ignore it
You have done the worst possible thing, which is back down and then get mad, and that is why you are so angry
