I am curious to see if any of you other guys have the same issue I am having. I have a 2000 Civic EX cpe that is totally stock other than aftermarket wheels. I have had it for two years now and it seems like there is alot of hatred for people who drive cars like ours. I have people deliberately pull out in front of me, tailgate me, cut me off, try to race me and just drive complete asses around me. I am 40 years old and try to drive as courteous and sensible as possible. I also have my 9 year old son with me alot of the time and it really pisses me off when people do this stupid s**t when he is in the car. Yeah I know Ohio has some of the worst drivers but I dont notice this being such an issue when I am in my F150. So I am curious if any you others in the Civic crowd have this issue?
Road bullying???

I have experienced this from time to time. It's just dumb teens that think they have a civic so they are spook fast and want to prove it to the world by driving like a jerk.
This hahahahah happens all the timeI usually get followed by jettas lol.

Try daily riding a sportbike. Did that for 3 full spring/summers a couple years ago and it was insane the amount that you get messed with. It is also pretty unnerving how much people don't see you or don't care.
Now the bike sits and I only ride it out in the hills or away from traffic as much as possible.
I am with RonJ. I never get messed with in the civic and I drive south tacoma way daily. Those that are from around here know that is fairly busy road and is full of ricers. Mine must not stand out enough and that is fine with me.

I get messed around with by stupid people from school I know and hate my car. Well.. used to be car.
Okay I guess its not just me then. Maybe I notice it alot more also because I just have a low tolerance for peoples stupidity. I wouldnt think my car would stand out that much other than it is in almost pristine condition, the wheels and I always keep my vehicles clean and looking nice. Sometimes I think I would like to do some mods to it but that would probably just attract more jerks. I also sometimes think of selling it and getting something more familyish but at these gas prices I hate to give up the 35 MPG! LOL!
Thanks for the input guys!

I get it from tegs and preludes constantly. once and a while a pick up truck or a kid in a mustang
I think that's just typical for Mustangs in general....TODAY, I was on the freeway going 65mph; A 06+ Base Model Mustang catches up to me and paces me for a while then guns it, bastard.
