So now I just drive super aggressive so rather than finger me they are so scared they just white knuckle the steering wheel. So in other words, I'm the problem here.  |
I've noticed the exact same thing, and that's pretty much how I deal with it. I figure if I'm already down the road a couple hundred yards, they can do anything they want with their fingers. I drive my 911 fast, and that tends to freak people out.
I had the glorious opportunity to take my Uncle's 911 out for a work out on the country roads around his small town last summer. I was booking down a straight road and there were a couple pedestrians on the side of the road. I drove all the way on the other side of the road when I passed them, but I still got the finger. We had a good laugh about it.
All that said, if I'm in traffic, I go out of my way to let people into my lane, etc. on the off chance it might create a little goodwill.
When I acquired my 911, one of my British car "friends" told me, "buying a Porsche makes people pricks". He was dead serious. I've since come to the conclusion he simply projects his own personality flaws onto others. I don't speak to him much any more.
I'm glad to read this discussion - its been one of the more perplexing issues surrounding 911 ownership. I try not to let it bother me.
Merry Christmas
