URGHHH….Stupid C6 Corvette Driver….Cutting In & Out Of Traffic

URGHHH….Stupid C6 Corvette Driver….Cutting In & Out Of Traffic

So coming home last night from work about 6pm on the Interstate, I see a brand new C6 convertible flying up the fast lane on the left….I was thinking man this guy is asking for trouble driving at that speed in rush hour traffic.

Anyway he had that typical “GC” look, suit, designer sun glasses, clean cut, blue-tooth hands free headset blah blah…he made sure that everyone could see him as went past them and you can tell he was feeling pretty damn smug in his brand new C6.

Well he caught up with the sea of red lights and rush hour traffic and talk about idiot…switching from one lane to another back and forth and weaving in and out…I was surprised someone did not block him \ cut him off and teach him a lesson….

Oh well, I am in no means trying to stereotype Corvette owners \ drivers, just stupid \ aggressive drivers.

I have to say that I was impressed with the throttle response on the C6 as he went past me and my car is not exactly slow.

Its funny as he went past all you could see was a head above the door line of the car.

Last time I was in traffic like this and there was a jerk in lowered brand new Acura TSX on 19in wheels and the owner was doing the same thing weaving in and out in traffic, well he cut-off a guy driving a Power Stroke and the guy in the Ford threw his glass bottle of “SoBe Ice Tea” at the TSX smashing it against the car….OUCH…but served him right!

Okay I feel better!

And I nearly got blown off I-10 two years ago heading from Tucson to Deming NM by two idiots in late model Porsches.

It takes all kinds.

Cool! I hope no one ever thinks you're just another prick in a Porsche and throws pennies at you. I'm betting that would suck.
