    Re: Almost lost my cool yesterday

    yep... at least most people will respect a Ferrari. Try driving a nice VW... noone cares.

    Re: Almost lost my cool yesterday

    Mike,
    I always go by this addage "most people don't care about their own car, so what makes you think they'll care about yours?" I park far away, and if i'm forced to park near people, I find the most expensive car in the lot and park next to it. If I were you I'd just take up two spots and keep an eye out for anyone trying to vandalize it. Unless you are at a place where parking is a premium, like in a city, most people tend to understand

    Re: Almost lost my cool yesterday

    Mmmh, that would p*ss me of as well...

    What I cannot understand either is how people can act totally ignorant in traffic. Neither in a truck, an old vintage car or a brand new Porsche do I have the notion to skip the essential actions as using the indicators, check for other motorists to pass me or leave room if wanted.

    Let me just say once again, that this has got to stop. There needs to be a higher level of decency and respect among people in this world. I hope that I never have to encounter a problem like this again. However if I do, I will not be as forgiving as I was then.



    IMO there is an increasing disparity between the haves and have nots that is only getting worse. So, this problem isn't going away.

    BTW, taking two spots here in the US is almost a guaranteed recipe for someone doing something deliberate.

    What's the answer? Drive a beater so you don't cause any animosity when necessary. Only drive the nice car when you are very comfortable that some i diot(can you believe they sensor this word?) isn't going to cause you grief. If you don't really care that much then be ready for whatever comes your way.

    Hi Srf,

    I drove the car on a Sunday morning. I don't daily drive it purely because of this problem. If I can't enjoy the car on a weekend... when should I
