What is it with men in minivans and 4-cylinder cars?

I drive a sports cars. Nothing fancy, but it sure looks racy. Ever since I bought it, I notice whenever I take off at an intersection...and the person next to me is a man in a minivan or a compact car...he will always floor it and try to cut me off. What is up with that? Are any of you guilty of this? If so, shame on you.

No, but I've had plenty of people in sports cars cut me off in my Ford Escort. Payback?

Hrmmm we need to know what "sports car" you have.
I have a four cyl. car, we could race

Don't mind the hair dryer under the hood..

They drive like Bone-heads because they're stuck in a piece of crap. I don't think I've seen a guy that didn't drive like an ass in a minivan...hell I would too if I was stuck driving one. (Shivers) YUCK! no thanks!

Perhaps you need a faster car, cuz if you were beating them through the gears it would not bother you so much!

It's not just you - I've noticed quite a bit of folks who are driving minivans that treat their grocery-getter like it's a top fuel car. I really don't understand it either.

I don't know I have a minivan and I've blown away a couple of hot shot teenager In their tiny Hondas....

I've Also left them eating my dust in my Intrepid.

I would rather be driving my very comfortable Mini Van on long trips than a sports car....

You need NAAS.(nitrous Oxide)

I drive my Hot Rod V-8, I never get cut off.

Usually the deep throaty sound of the Flowmasters humble the little 4 cyl. drivers, and they pretend they are playing with the radio.

But on occasion some guy in a little 4 banger will think he's Dom (Fast and the Furious), but he quickly learns.

Yeah my brother had a little '88 Dodge minivan with the turbo, and it also humbled many a Honda and cars like them, it was surprisingly fast.
