I give mean people the double flip--while I'm reaching 80-90-100 mph I have both hands (driving with my thighs) raised up in the air giving a double mid-finger flip--it shows nicely with the top down.

but yeah--all the experiences you all have posted above has happened to me--especially the men who "catch" up to me and see who is driving (they are in any imaginable car--trucks, suv's, hyndai's, geo's, other S) and all of sudden think they are on a race track--passing cars--even driving on the median to catch up to me (the S did that)--one time a camaro followed me and exited just to say great run )

i'm not afraid of death--so if they have a weapon they can go for it--at least i'm in the coffin of my choice--the S--

i'm not a mean person but i can get into some mean road rage--i was worst in my gsr but since I've owned my S--i realized that there isn't a lot of us out there--so someone can f^ck with my car if they see it later--so i'm a good grrl most of the time unless they really f^ck with me--


gosh i do sound a little off but if you all met me in person you would never know i had it in me--he hee

ciao ciao

btw--lesbo's are cool

 

IMO, I think some of the women are being paranoid. If I see a gal driving a sportscar, let alone one that is manual only, tis a turn on for me.

[B][COLOR=blue]VMoul,
The same thing that happened to you, happened to me. I had an old man tail gatting me. My sis and I were going back home from the mall and the focker would not stop. I hit my brakes he'd stay right on me, and then i just took off. Focker took off right behind me. UGH it was horrible... finally i gave up changed lanes and slowed wayyyyyyyy down (no traffic coming) went from 90+ down to about just shy of 40ish, he started to slow down and my sis flipped him off and then finally he just kept going.
................
First of all, I would hope that recent events in the Wash. D.C. area would all remind us of how many lethally crazy people are out there, many of them driving around on our highways. I have learned the restraint of saying the words to myself, and if I must flip the bird, I keep my hands way below the windshield. Driving an S2K on the roads is, in the perception of many aggressive crazies, the same as waving a red flag in front of a bull, particularly if he was able to see a couple of females inside. The testosterone comes to the surface, and you saw the result.
Secondly, I am a bit confused and perhaps it is your spelling. To those of us old enough to remember, the Fokker was an infamous aircraft flown by the German Luftwaffe. But, I just don't know what a Focker is. Perhaps it is an exotic European sports car??

[B]I haven't gotten any dirty looks but...


One in particular: I was doing 95 mph, and this guy in an old beat up Toyota truck, was tailgating me.

When someone is tailgating at high speeds, drop from 5th to 4th without dropping any more than 2-3 mph This way you slow down a bit, but not too much to get hit from behind. Then, slowly decrease your speed another 5-7 mph. Make sure you create plenty of space between you and the car in front of you. Then, hit the gas hard for a few seconds until a huge space is created between you and and the jerk that was tailgaiting you.

Often, the tailgaiter will work his way back up behind you. So, you need to repeat this process a few times before the ass behind you realizes what you are doing. I've gotten the tailgater so mad, that they sometimes whip over to another lane in a fit of rage, and begin a whole new strategy on how to get ahead of me. Usually its from 2 lanes over, so it really has no effect on me anymore. At this point though I am very conscoius of the fact they may eventually try to cut me off, so I stay a safe distance behind the car in front of me, but don't leave enough space for anyone to cut in front of me.

The key is to wave back at the tailgater in a somewhat sarcastically friendly manor when you realize you'll be parting ways on the highway. This should infuriate them, and hopefully they will reconsider whether to ever tailgate again.

 

It's funny you asked about other women, because the only time another S2k owner pulled up next to me, looked over (I waved and smiled, gave a "thumbs up") and then VERY POINTEDLY ignored me, it was another woman. (Biaattttch) I couldn't believe it!

Guess she was having a bad day.......

 

about tailgaters:

unless they are driving something with plenty of horsepower, pop that S on up to 120mph or so... that should get rid of 'em.

 

You get 3 guesses and the first 2 don't count.

Old Joke:

British Spitfire pilot at party demonstrating w/ his hands the maneuvers of his and his opponents fighters: "So this Fokker dove on me and I pulled a split S and turned the tables on him".

Member of audience: "So this airplane was a Fokker?"

Pilot: "No, this particular Fokker was flying a Messerschmit."

Do you think this happened because you are a woman or because there are an awful lot of asses on the road? I find people, especially in suvs, vans and pickup trucks tailgating me at reasonably high speeds. I just think that these idiots have something to prove. Maybe they're trying to prove that they are better drivers or more "rough and tumble" then people who drive sportscars.


Yes, I think there are a lot of asses on the road.
And yes I think they are trying to prove something to themselves.....what they are trying to prove only they know...maybe they don't.

 

Yeah - me too. A lovely lady in a convertable and PARTICULARLY a sports car is a great thing to see. They don't even have to be blonde.
