Bottom Line:
I should have not gestured to him. What's it really matter to me if he yells and gestures. Who really cares. In the scope of life and your day, just throttle back, relax and keep on movin' on.
Yes, you are right. In my recent little incident, I could have engaged the cretins, or not. I chose "not". Of course, flashing my police badge at them might have had some effect, as well.

Since I got rid of my Dodge truck, I now get "tail-gated" frequently in my X5. Since socialogically the country is into the Socialist/Communist trac., thinking in general seems to be a "all-about-me" attitude and I think people's driving habits and attitudes reflect that. Plus, I have an American Flag and a wounded vet tag. Oddly enough, those facts seem to garner contempt rather than respect these days.

Someone may have touched on this already, but whenever I pass another car in my e36 or X5, it seems like others want to "keep up" if you know what I mean. It seems like people seem to get more "racey" around Bimmers if you ask me.

From my previous BMW ownership experience I would say it does, but I also found that if you're waiting to pull out in to traffic other BMW owner almost always let you in.

me personally...people always hate when i'm ridin' the X....cuz my shit looks pretty like a mofo' and plus the dude inside ain't too shabby himself......

i like it personally...especially if it was a damn passat....lol...i'd smile and wink at that dummy.

i usually find that younger girls like the x5, rimmed up and tinted out....with a little r n b pumpin.....man i act like the man when my wifey isn't in the truck with me.
