People who stare at you on the road

Anyone here hate people who stare at you while you're in the car on the road? Today, when I was driving home, a dude in a huge white Ford Pickup truck stopped beside my car on the road with plenty of car space ahead before the intersection just to give me some dirty looks. I stared back but I was wearing my shades so I didn't feel all that imtimidated. People these days don't understand that staring is rude as heck. No, I didn't cut him off or anything.

In America we have things called "guns" and most are smart enough not to stare...

if people are hitting me with the ice grill, I give them this snobby look like "watcha lookin at fool? u wish you were rockin' this ride"

however if they are checking it out.. I smile at them.. like "thanks for the compliment"

had an old man in a 650 pull up to me and tell me "nice ride"
that was pretty sweet

I make it a point to be a courteous driver, given the stereotype of BMW drivers.
Sometimes people give a weird look, but I've noticed that it doesn't always matter what you're driving - some people just look at you, period.

Buy a gun and shoot them, especially if they are on puck-ups!

I'm usually the one staring (at the hotties... my wife has caought me a few times.. she was )


One time a white pick up that was rasied started tailgaiting me and trying to push me of the road.. I had the top down and told him if his sister was as good a lay as his mom. he tried to crash into me at that point but I floored the car and left him far back. I drove at 120 for about two mils and pulled off the highway. to be honest I was afraid he would do domething messed up if he caught me.... it was fun...

I've had people stare but it was at the car than me, I think. I stay aware of my surroundings when I'm at a stop but don't really pay attention to what other people are doing (unless they're getting out of their car and heading towards me).

My gf and some of my friends say I look like a pissed off version of Ryu from Street Fighter and I've been told by many people that I don't look like someone to mess with (including by my boss...lol) so I never really worry much. lol

I do hate when people take off from a light like I'm expected to race eveyone. I had a V8 Toyota Tundra do that once where the lanes merged just past the light. He overtook me but I wasn't taking the engine very high since I was in the break-in period and don't care much for street racing. I did overtake him later in a passing zone and proceded to drive 5 below the speed limit though just to let him know who's boss.

I dont get it either, especially the guys in civics and integras thinking they can jock us with their four-bangers. Most of the time I just look at them with complete confusion in my expression "Do I have shit stains all over my car or something? Stop looking at me (by this time my hands are in the upwards palm question position like so- ). It really is rude and uncomfortable, you can generally tell if theyre admiring your ride, or trying to give you visual heat.
