Traveling down a local highway last night in right lane and this Surban
starts creeping
into my lane on purpose.
The passenger, a young female is watching me get pushed off the road and
laughing her a.s off.
They clearly saw me, as they started moving over behind me.
I called the cops on them for road rage and I hope they had just enough
alcohol in them to go to jail.

Then on my way back through town, the young punks on the road who think
their little lawn mower engine cars can take a real sports car is amazing.
They throw sh.t out the window, spit, mouth off and race like they are in a
freaking movie.
I suppose the good thing is, the way Beaverton cops are all over and they
have cameras where they are not, is they won't be on the road very long.

I've had people mouth off, flip me off, spit out their window, try to run me
off the road, try to race, kick my car, ride over it with a skateboard, you
name it.
What the hell is wrong with the jealous losers in this world?
Oh, they are jealous losers; I guess that is enough.

Just too bad I can't enjoy what I worked all my life for with all the
a.sholes out there.

I know what you mean, I had someone spit their chewing tobacco on mine just
the other night, good thing it was just on the rear glass instead of the
paint.  That kind of BS will get you shot in the right (wrong)
neighborhoods.

I've owned Corvettes since I was quite young and I've never had any
problems with ill-mannered or rude folks that I can recall.  I'm
certainly more aware and vigilant of other drivers when out toolin'
about in the '67 and I think I'd easily identify anyone's behavior that
seemed targeted at me. Seems most everyone I encounter either dont' take
notice of me just like when I'm driving my truck or wife's sedan or else
they do notice and give me a wave, thumbs up, smile or nudge'n'point to
their buddy/girlfriend/kid/parent.

TF, you certainly seem to have more than your share of problems. Did all
this start since getting the Corvette or, perhaps, do you feel you've
been subject to mistreatment by others most of your life?

I have bad luck, for sure.
However, as far as the vette goes, it's where I live.
West of Portland, OR and we just have an over abundance of young punks.
Even some adults have thier issues with jealousy.

To be honest, there is a guy around the corner from me who used to own
Mustangs and now he owns a vette, same color as mine.
He hangs out at Fred Meyer on Saturday nights.
I'm wondering if he pissed some people off :)
Probably not, as he seems like a  nice guy.
I just am amazed by the number of jerks out there.
It's much better in the daytime.
I think all the punks are inside playing video games then.

I  came to a light with a family in it last night on the way home and as I
looked in the rear view, the mother, in her 30's, made a smahing motion with
her one hand into the other, as if she thought it would be cool if her
husband smashed into my rear.
This get more comical by the moment.
I live in an area where there is considerable $$.
No, not quite like the bay area or S. Cal, but nonetheless, I cann't believe
the jealousy, animosity and vandalism that exists here.

Did you ever notice that this moron has more people flipping him off,
threatening to crash into him and every other known form of
disrespect being directed at him than any 100 people you know.

Obviously, all these folks are pissed off at him for a reason.

He must exude ASSHOLEidness.
Charlie - 20 Mar 2005 11:30 GMT
You're not kidding.  I've never gotten anything like that.  I get more
people complimenting me about my car than anything.  Or girls flirting, even
with the wife in the car with me.  I have a few people try and race me,
mostly young guys that just want to see a Covette go fast.  One day a
Mustang with a guy and girl in it started playing with the wife and I.  I
decided to play back.  We raced a while, I beat him easily.  When we stopped
at the light at the exit, he was grinning from ear to ear.  He told me
that's the car I want one of these days.

I had a cop do almost that same thing.  He came flying up next to me, looked
over and grinned, and punched it and took off like a rocket.  Really wierd,
like he was challenging me, or maybe he was a homo. lol  Middle of the night
and no other cars on the road, maybe I should have showed him what it could
do for a couple miles.  But then I'd probably be talking about my first
ticket in it.

Yeah, you most likely would have gotten one.  I was driving back home one
night after picking my son up from work when his license was suspended.  It
was a beautiful night and the top was down.  I wasn't really paying
attention to how fast I was going and I didn't see the cop and I guess he
paced me since my Valentine didn't pick up a cop even being around and it
never misses.  But I was cruising back and all of a sudden a loud speaker
comes on and says, "you know how fast you're going?".  I look down and see
that I'm doing 75 and let off the gas and wave to him.  He just passed me
and let me go.  It was a 60 mph zone.  I told my son, that what age buys
you. <lol>

Hey a.shole

I treat everyone with respect and courtesy up until they wrong me in some
way.
It's pure jealousy and I've heard similar complaints form other people with
nice cars around here.
So eat it.

On more the one occasion I've either had to deal with or heard/seen
first hand the jealousy of others over the fact that you have
something they covet.  I guess they figure that if they can't have
something that nice, they aren't going to allow anyone else to either.
I have had my Custom Harley f.cked with more then I care to remember.
What on earth compels someone to walk up to a bike/car and decide to
sit on it, touch it, or otherwise touch something that does not belong
to them.  Hell I've even had guys hit on my wife in front of me.  It
has only been out of respect for her wishes that I haven't damn near
killed at least two guys.

Wow. Wrong neck of the woods. I've certainly encountered a few jackasses
over the years with my Vettes, but nothing like y'all have reported. The
kids in the jap-tracks annoy me, but only because they can vote. But for the
most part, the Vette actually causes more courteous treatment. Still get all
kinds of people making comments about how nice it is, etc. One time I was
driving along and a Jeep was headed at me head on, then swerved and hit a
Volvo exiting a parking lot. When I stopped and spoke to the kid driving it,
he said he just didn't want to hit the Vette, and intentionally swerved,
hitting the Volvo!

Then again, I was driving along to work one nice sunny day, forgot the speed
limit in this one stretch was 45, zoned out, was (I'm told) doing 67, but
keeping up with a Suburban. Next think Evil Knievel is on my tail with his
lights and siren. I was on the receiving end of my first ticket, after
driving 31 years! I congratulated the cop, shook his hand and asked why me,
why not the Suburban. Answer: "you're in the bright red Corvette"

But he didn't spit on me.

Isn't this the same moron who bought the Vette and then turned around
and started whining about it because it cost too much?  Then he
whined about driving it.  Then he whined about parking it.

Sounds to me like he's just a little pansy whiner.

They say that in life, what goes around, comes around.  I think TF is
getting his just rewards.

You are probably one of those f.cking a.sholes.
Nobody whined about sh.t and you don't even know wtf you are talking about.
You are just another f.cking low-life, no life loser whose only joy in life
is treating other people like sh.t.
What goes around does come around and now it's coming your way....watch.

He could be but the only time I see his posts are when someone else answers
them, he's been in news group block since his first few posts. He's on the
high side of the Bell curve for whining.

Never had any problems with my Vette... at least no more with this car
than any other.

In fact, I often see people more aware of the situation, such as moving
over from blocking the left lane when I'm behind them.

The basic problem is that Corvette owners have the reputation of been
GAY....it's not  the car it's hatred of GAY men..

Now you know the rest of the story.

Why would a car hate gay men?

Well, they don't have to hate 'em, but they
can't marry 'em.
