Default People Like to Honk at TC's

Is it just me, or do other TC owners seem to get randomly beeped at by other motorists???

I mean, it will be something as simple as just merging in front of someone (legally and with plenty of room to spare), or passing a slow moving car in the left lane by passing on the right.

Its like these people think that a lowly scion has no right to be in front of them. :D

Hilarious. i've given more middle fingers while driving this car than I had cumulatively in my entire life up until that point.

Interesting. I do seem to get random flashes and honks when I'm driving, even if I'm just going in a straight line without doing anything wrong. I never know what it means. People even flash in the daytime. Sometimes I have to get out to make sure I didn't leave something on my roof or I didn't leave the fuel door open or something.

Never been honked at unless I was axcidently sitting at a green for a while.

People do like to get right up on my ___ a lot tho, even if I am going the limit or a little over they are right on me. ____es me off because I just like to cruz sometimes.

I don't get much honking, but "bigger" cars like camaros and mustangs always feel the need to pass me and then slow down when they get in front of me...its annoying, so i proceed to pass them, at a much higher speed then them of course!

well, guess its not just me.

i love slowing down (to nearly a complete stop, on a highway, if i have to) when someone behind me has unneccessarily honked or flashed their hibeams. reminds them that the person in front has the right away.

you should only honk when there is danger of an accient or to alert another oblivious driver of your location. You should only flash your highbeams at someone when they've cut you off and are out of horn-range but you want them to know that they are a douche. :D

Yeah I get the same thing. It always confuses the hell out of me. I have to look at the person and see if maybe its somebody I know and it never is. Then Im left wondering why for a while.

Yeah, I never recognize the person either. Then I start getting self-conscious and wondering if something is wrong with my car.

You ever think the person behind you is flashing at an oncoming car with their brights on? Flashing your high beams at someone who just cut you off is not why people flash their lights.

get a nice turbo and exhuast set up, when your at a light and the person behind you honks, just rev it up, throw a lil flame out that exhaust, and my bet is theyll stay theyre distance.
hahahaha.

that is extremely stupid and dangerous.
thats a great way to scare the sh*t out of other drivers and cause them to swerve and get into an accident.
thats also a great way to get the cops called on you, i can believe you havent been pulled over yet.
Youll get your gun taken and melted down, no questions asked, youll never see it again and wont get a penny for it.
youll also be extremely lucky if you dont get some sort of ticket.

-_-... i had a mustang flash at me on the freeway going 75 on a 60... which im already above the speed limit... i swerved to the right.. he passed me and i swerved right back behind him and turned my high beam on.. then i passed him cause that jerk braked hoping i'd run into him or something... and he followed me for a good 14 exits behind me not passing me FLASHING his high beam really close to me... then right when i had just about enough... i had those game tokens from arcades in my cup holder.... opened up my roof and chucked a couple of those suckers out there... saw his lights turn off and slowed down.. so i guess i won?
