So true!

I get harassed by men in RX's all the time wanting to race... I'll just be driving 80 on the freeway and they think I wanna race lol... It is a shame their car doesn't handle very well at 100... heheheh

There was a study a while back done in the U.K., talking about how 25% of people would let a nicer car in to merge. That means the other 75% wouldn't !!!

There is definitively jealousy out there... At the end of the day, you've just got to find a twisty road and put that grin back on your face !!

definitely one of my favorite things about the X!

Got news for everyone: it's not that you drive a nice car, it's that the world is full of people who are inconsiderate and only think about themselves. If you're passing them, they think "oh no, I can't *follow* someone else, I'm number one" and speed up; if you try to merge, they think "oh no, he's going to *steal my place*"...
if I was driving an X, the first (useless) mod I would do is install *bush bars* front and back...

I find that sure can help when passing of merging.

I agree, but find that the nice car increases the likelyhood of the rudeness in others. Also agree that a-holes do tend to try and bully nicer rides thinking the owners are more likely to back down. Except I'm older and have more insurance.

I have taken the X5 to limit. There are always section of certain highways where you can speed and avoid the speedtraps at the same time. Just be sure you don't speed on a speedtrap.
