It was no mistake, not accidental driving, nothing provoking on my side absolutely period. If this did not happen to me and someone told me this story I would not have believed them but this did happen to me.

second incident: driving in deep traffic, four adults in a car swerved hard and cut me off very bad. I horned at them in which they proceeded to brake test me and made a clear signal that if I were to challenge them any further they will step out. This time, my friend as with me and he was in disbelieve this had just happened.

These are the two major events that left me very bitter. There are other lesser ones. Never in my whole life in any other car ever have I experienced anything remotely like this.

The car gets way way more attention than any other car I've ever had. Some can be positive and some can be negative.
I read about this in a article by a traffic cop. He actually sees this quite often and attributes it to the “parent state of mind”. That’s when someone decides they need to put you in your place ( by slowing you down) so you learn your lesson. He also said that this never works but some people feel the need to be vigilantes.
