"Porsche Envy" is a real syndrome. My wife coined the phrase when her daily driver was a 997S. It seems to bring out behavior we just never see now that we're driving Volvos. Just Wednesday I had a similar situation. I was in the TT and some 20-something in a Dodge truck was tailgating me so closely all I could see in the mirror was his grill. I'm talking 2 feet at 45 mph. There was a car three car lenghts ahead of me. No where to go. At the next light I got out and went to his window. He opened it and I aaked "What's your F#@KING problem?" He sheep'd down at close range, but replied. "You have a turbo and you drive it like an old lady". I maintained my composure and got back in just about the time the light turned green. I know I should have stayed in my car...but it's not my nature.
