Do other drivers ever get pissed off at you?

Gives me more fun on the morning commute...more than the morning radio.

I've always been tailgated with my civic too. Even before I drove at the speed-limit. I think people just dislike teal Hondas, since the same thing happened with my teal Integra...

Ah well. I'm starting to care less and less about the other annoying drivers. I usually just think to myself, "that person can afford to waste gas, I can't."

I can't wait to get one of those MPG stickers for my back window along with a gassavers one. Should at least send the tailgaters a message!

And then when you take your time coming up to a red light, it is amazing how many will go full blast past you, and look PISSED off when you slingshot past them when the light turns green and do their damnedest to catchup as quickly as possible...I guess to prove their testosterone levels are still up to par.

Oh I think it's even more fun when you get to stop behind them on a long light anyway. Then you can just sit there smiling into their mirror.

As an update, I never had anyone mad at me while driving 55MPH in a 60 for 24 miles to work for 7 months. But driving 55 in my Saturn I had someone give me the finger in less than 3 weeks.

I think this just adds to the consensus of it does matter what your car looks like.
