So there is this a tight "right turn" close to my garage which I usually pass through if I take this specific route. It gets highly conjested during rush hours, and you have to be "really" careful of traffic rushing from the left. Usually, when I am in a more DD car, I can normally come to a full stop for as long as I want until traffic from the left slow down or clear. However, it is a different story in a Ferrari sometimes. An "angry guy" starts honking from behind the other day, yelling and gesturing with frustration even though he can clearly see that if I move I would probably cause an accident! I know that with other DDs you can be a "notch careless" at such intersections, but not with a Ferrari or so What do you think is the best action in such scenarios? I usually give a "Do U want me to fly?!" gesture with a face, and carry on...
I am not sure if color has something to do with it. Noticed when I am in my white F I get less aggressive reactions almost none compared to when I am in my red F. (Whole thing doesn't frequently happen ofcourse, but relatively speaking). Your "F/Fs" "is/are" not red I guess?
I have 3 red Ferrari’s, and one triple yellow Ferrari. Only time someone has honked at me in a Ferrari is to get my attention and then thumbs up or yell, “Nice car!”
Yup, the thumbs up is a different story Glad you didn't experience any of what I mentioned here. Maybe the few times or so this happened with me, was simply a matter of someone in a bad mode at the time.
Obviously you have never driven in Boston. Ferrari, Fiat, Ford, Fisker, F-Pace, F-Type, just get the F out of my way!
It might not have had anything to do with your Ferrari....he could just been an a--hole! Ignore him and turn up the volume on some smooth jazz.
I've had haters, twice in one year. One screamed at me about being a "rich A$$-hole" which says miuch more about her than it does about me. In fairness, i think the exhaust bark scared her. The other though, took her anger much further; called the police who eventually tracked me down, with 3 of them moving me to the side of the freeway (motor cops). they took my keys "!!" and then started to tell me wild stories of my reckless driving several miles back. Long story, but when the complainant actually showed-up, she was in a blue prius, alone, with a mask on in her car as she approached.... with a "F*** Trump" sticker all the way across her rear window. Now, perhaps I'm stereotyping here, but I felt like I understood her problem at that stage. haha. Nobody seemed interested in the fact that I have a dash camera rolling any time the car is running, and that we could pull the SD card and watch the so-called "reckless driving". They eventually sent me on my way (after a 90-minute delay) with "stern words" about "feeling entitled". The entire incident twisted my stomach and sucked the fun out of the car for me for quite some time., In fact, it didn't move from its spot in the garage for about 2 weeks after that, while I considered selling it. I just don't need that sort of negativity in my life. But then a neighbor showed-up with her 13 year old grandson, whoi wanted to see the car, and I was reminded that the USUAL response from people is smiles and cheers. Smartest advice comes from stackhouse: "Drive Tastefully", and combine with the words from another commenter above here: don't engage.
May I ask, which part of the USA you are in (you don’t have to be specific). ie: Northeast Southeast Northwest Southwest Commifornia
I live in an area where exists an odd political nexus, where you realize the political spectrum is not in fact linear, but rather circular. It can be difficult at times to discern a far-right-wing evangelical from a far-left-wing progressive; Both just want to make everyone conform to their own thinking. Likewise, a libertarian can look much more like a communist than most would think possible. Yes, less than 20 minutes from me (less if I drive recklessly, apparently) is Utah County; the bastion of Christiandom, where everyone is hell-bent on making sure you all follow the same rules they do, because darn-it that's what Jesus would do. (??) I blame Utah County for nearly ALL of what's wrong with Utah. The feeling of self-righteous, pious indignation that literally oooozes out of the residents who live there is enough to poison the entire state, if we don't actively fight against it. And yes; I'm a practicing Mormon.... ;-)
Probably need to end it here before going too far into P&R. Was just curious about which part of the country you lived.
Haha, I did sorta go off there, didn't I? Ha! Rocky Mountain West! I live in the Rocky Mountain West! Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk
Agreed, ignore them! NoSpinZone, Right you are about Boston! I was born and raised in Pittsfield and remember vividly driving through the tunnel to get to Logan!
Oh, brother. My wife is a native of Revere Beach. Her dad was post commander of the Saugus VFW way back when.
Ignore them. You don't know if the individual has a gun (and might decide to use it) or will ram or scratch your car. It just doesn't pay to engage. Why stoop to their level?

I recall the story when those pesky MIT kids stole the cow statue from Hilltop and put it on the dome at MIT.
