About once a week I see a black Cayenne on my way to work (in my Toyota). The guy drives like a jerk, cutting in and out of traffic and making life miserable for the rest of us that have to slam on our non-big red brakes when he cuts in front of us at the last minute with less than a car's length of space. If he were driving a less obvious or more common car...I would not realize that it is the same jerk every time. Since he is likely the only Porshe that many folks see on that commute, I am sure that many just associate Porsche drivers with jerks. The fact that there are so few on the road means that it does not take too many to give us all a bad name. If your car stops in half the distance as my daily driver...it is foolhardy to cut in front of me and slam on your brakes...just to gain a car length at the red light. When you drive a high performance car, keep in mind that most folks simply cannot... or at least struggle to dodge your antics. They do not make you look the least bit cool...and cause the rest of us to get our 911s keyed. Having a cool car does not give you the right to endanger everyone else. Save it for the track...or at least keep it out of rush hour traffic.
