What forums do you read and where in the heck do you live?


No!

Nothing beats an 11 year old thread of disinformation coming back to life.

I really wish there was a way they could default that feature off. It seems to be happening quite a bit lately

When i first got my 07', bought new, my wife used it to go to work. She worked at an office building with cameras and security. Never the less, after two days both front fenders were scratched. Not badly, but, intentionally. I went to security, but, they had no evidence or video. Now, the kicker is that the lot was filled with Porsches, Lexus and other high end cars. As far as we know only my Vette was chosen for the vandalism.
Needless to say, she never used it again.

I encountered my first bad experience this past week. Jerk in a GMC pickup truck on the interstate kept tailgating me. I was going around 80 and he's right on my a$$ so I bumped it up to 85 and he's right there. Bumped it up to 90 and here he comes again. Getting to the point that I'm starting to feel really uncomfortable so I take off and leave him. He must have finally got the hint because he was getting off at the same exit and was right behind me but stayed back further when we were stopped then when he was behind me going 90. I guess pickup drivers can't help being AH's.

Or you could have just moved out of the fast lane.... some of us are trying to break the law for real :-)
