quietly tooling along and (again, this has happened before) two guys in a Toyota pickup come up behind me, get high and tight and give me the finger(s)......this is the 4th? 5th? time in the last few months I have had people give me flak when I have in no way transgressed or interfered with their driving.....it genuinely takes away from enjoying the drive...........

Me too, I've had a lot of people want to race or pull up behind my sled really fast, or cut in front of me. Nothing but love and I've been driving vettes since C5's were cool. I really don't pay attention to people at stop lights or blast music loud or rev my engine either.
The worst thing anyone ever told me was some old lady asked if it was a firebird. I was insulted to say the least.

It's become generally frowned upon to be in the left lane and be going slower than the car behind you.
I always keep up the pace, or when I want to cruise pull right and let the left lane stay open.
Never had this problem.

I used to run into the "Vette envy" phenomenon all the time when I commuted daily on I270 into DC in my VR '06 coupe. Ran into an "I'm not gonna let this red Corvette in, I'll show em that my "pick your universal commuter car" is just as fast as that!". Decided to go stealth mode. I picked up a used gray Subaru WRX (no wings, spoilers, etc.) and tuned it so it was putting down 306 ft/lbs. to the wheels. Me and The Squirt quickly(!) moved without notice into whatever spot in traffic we wanted. You know what they say "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em - and then blow their doors off before they know it."

Just show them a Glock, pretty sure they will back off and give you tons of respect.

Mr. Pinson's mistake was forgetting that you don't use a gun for any purpose other than to kill someone. Once you get it out to show it the safest thing to do is to make sure there is only one person left to describe the incident.
