Some Dumba$$ almost ran me off the road
I was driving home the other day and some moron in an old Caddy was looking at my car while driving down the highway. He started comming into my lane and kept comming. Once he got halfway in my lane a guess he noticed and steered back into his lane. Then he just kept driving, no "sorry about that" wave or nothing. Just a kid in the passenger seat giving me the thumbs up.
Don't get me wrong I like the attention I get but, I'm starting to get tired of it!!!!
This is the 2nd time I've had this happen.

Yesterday when I was out driving in the lovely weather I was having, I went to make a left turn onto a side street. There was another car waiting on the side street to make a left turn as well. As soon as I started turning, THEY started turning, right into my drivers side door! I hit my brakes as hard as I could, and they stopped about two inches from my face. I was so pissed off. This is the 3rd time in a week some moron has almost hit me. My car is an idiot magnet.

I have had to deal with this sort of 'attention' for a few years now with my Corvette. The best way to make sure it does not happen often is to be pretty aggressive and do not allow others to drive alongside. Either slow up or speed up traffic permitting.
So far I have had 2 incidents of lane wobbles by gawkers when driving the 8...both nearly sent me into a ditch...good handling and a wide shoulder on the road both times saved me.

I get a lot of people pulling double takes, one almost got into an accident doing it. I think installing a turret gun like "cgrx" above would help in fending off some of these gawkers....
