Default Truck drivers "love to look at" my SC430

Has anyone else experienced this?
While on a freeway, I come up to pass a couple (or more) trucks cruising 65-75 mph and all of a sudden a truck pulls out to very, very slowly pass another truck. I feel they either enjoy watching me in their re-view mirrors, or are jealous that I can "punch it," when given the space, and pass them "very quickly."

I don't think that's SC related. Trucks are sort of like trains -- very heavy and don't change speeds quickly. Plus, it takes extra gas to accelerate which is money out of their pocket. Mostly, I think truckers loathe taking the truck off cruise control.

Pro tip: know that as a truck approaches another, it is going to want to pull out. Punch it before that happens!

Plus, they play games on the road with each other to stay awake. Basically, it is leap frog with semis (but staying on the ground).
