Is it just me or do other folks seem to get challenged to a street race on a regular basis when driving the Maserati? This never happens to me when I drive the 4Runner or my wife's Volvo, but when I take out the GS, here are some incidents that have happened:
- Driving on 580, a Ford Mustang Cobra (pre-2007ish) pulls up next to me, downshifts and revs the engine while staring me down. He stays neck and neck with me for about 5 miles before he pulls off. I didn't race as we were already going 80 mph and there was some traffic ahead.
- Driving on Woodside Road toward Skyline (which is a very windy road) a Nissan 350Z prop car from The Fast and the Furious started tailing me. I accelerated through the curves to shake him, but he was determined to stay on my tail. FWIT my wife was not happy with racing through the curves.
- Driving on Bollinger Road getting on to 680 I shoot for pole position so I can fly through the cloverleaf and slingshot onto the freeway. I noticed that a Mercedes s55 AMG shot in behind me to do the same and we both hit the freeway at at least 90 mph, then got to 120mph before I let off the gas. He kept going.
- Countless times sitting at a light only to hear the car next to me revving his engine trying to get me to bite when the light turns green.
Unique or common?
