I think you have a point there. Not just passing, but driving in general. Today a guy in an old Pontiac Grand Prix started to run up my ass a bit. I popped it a bit, pulled away and let him catch me again. He rode my ass again and I pulled away again. He was a bit of a dick for riding my ass, but so was I for playing with him.
I can certainly see that. I wonder if the fact a used one is pretty cheap allowing more young buyers access to this vehicle.
A lot of what frustrates me though is exactly what you mentioned in your previous post. Lack of attention. People miss their exit or are about to and make it your problem so they can avoid their problem. For most part Tx interstates are easy to get on and off. There's no reason to come screaming over from far left lane to make your exit at last second on a 5 lane intestate. Just go one freaking mile up and flip a u turn. But god forbid they get inconvenienced, so they cut you off.
I see people do this all the time also...when driving a Honda. People space out, don't set cruise control and troll along at 67mph, then suddenly when someone passes them going 72 they wake up and decide to go 75. This happens regardless of the model car being driven.I learned that many BMW drivers are triggered at the site of a Mustang. Some Audi drivers, too, rarely Benz drivers, though. I get tail-gated a LOT by the BMWs, they race up behind me. Don't worry, guy, I will move over when I can, sheesh.
Many, many times I happen to approach a Bimmer just cruising along (I would happen to be in a passing lane minding my own business, my cruise control might take me only a few mph faster)...but once I pass, well, they decide they will have none of that! First chance they get they absolutely MUST pass me, sometimes going way out of their way to do so even when it appears to be an inconvenience for them, like when their exit quickly approaches. :headbonk: If it makes you feel better...:shrug:
It has become a habit to become curious about their next move once one spots me near them. Cracks me up every time because the behavior is so predictable :lol: Dude, I am just trying to get to work...I really couldn't care less about you "getting ahead" of me
So you're saying it's all in our mind. Mmkay...
Look at it this way. if the bastards are in front of you they can't run into the back of you.I learned that many BMW drivers are triggered at the site of a Mustang.

LOL Just triggered an Audi S5 driver while driving home. Dude came up, supercharger screaming (3.0T model) just to get 1 car length ahead of me. Not only that, he was purposely, or so it seems, driving into where water collects on the road and sprayed the hell out of me.I learned that many BMW drivers are triggered at the site of a Mustang.
