For the record, no, I don't drive slow. The most recent time I got cut off was when I was driving 75 on an empty freeway late at night. This guy in a Mercedes actually went out of his way to cut me off. It wasn't even a nice Mercedes either, so I don't know what he was trying to show me.

The time I was cut off by the Infiniti G35 on a freeway on-ramp, I was doing what I was supposed to do... accelerating. However, this guy who was behind me thought it would be cool to floor it and pass me at the merge point of two lanes. Again, this G35 wasn't particularly nice either.

Avid1, if they cut you off and then slow down later, that means they are just trying to show off. If they cut you off and keep going fast, that means they are in a hurry to go somewhere. When you drive a car like the GS, there will be other drivers that wants to see what you got under the hood. I just smile at them and wave them to pass. At lease you dont drive a red GS like me, everybody wants to race me

Ok... Here are the first pics I've ever posted of my GS... Anything to keep more people from cutting me off.

The first four pics were taken in December '06 when I first got the car. The fifth pic was taken a few weeks ago on my iPhone showing tinted windows and Clear Bra from AeroTect. Actually, you can't even see the Clear Bra.

nobody cuts me off in this car. In fact nobody wants to race either. Its a pretty low key car. I think it might be a coincidence as well
