why does everyone try to hit my bird?

when i drive a beater truck no one runs stop signs in front of me or randomly slams there brakes. but when i drive the firebird theres almost always some idiot who almost hits me. take today for example i am on a back road and theres an intersection the other road has a stop sign mine doesn't this woman flys thru the stopsign with out slowing down or looking. i missed her by only a foot. this crap happens all the time since i put the bird on the road. it never happened when i was driving cheap beater trucks. if i was still in the truck i would of just plowed into them without caring but i got alot of money wrapped up in the firebird and just basic liability. and its not just other driver animals do it to i have never hit any animals in the truck. but in the 3 weeks the birds been registered i have hit 2 deer a raccoon and several other small animals. so i was just curious if this happen to other thirdgeners?

I swear once a week someone starts trailing across the double yellow line, I've never had that trouble in my dad's dodge truck or his '38 Buick

Re: why does everyone try to hit my bird?

Had a semi change lanes while I was right beside him in my Camaro the other day, he forced me into the emergency lane, thankfully no one or nothing was stopped in the emergency lane. That kind of thing doesn't seem to happen when I'm in my 2500. I'm going with what DIRTY JERZY said, its the F-Body Curse!
