Weird. All 10 of the GTO's GM sold must be where you live, then.

My car must be a full blown sun then because it seems like entire solar systems full of planets start sling-shotting by me all the time! I hate people who can't just drive but want to constantly try to prove something.

Happens with hicks in trucks more than littlekids in ricers, but same thing.

I live in a area filled with retirement communities, and my car appears to cause a different (though similarly inexplicable) phenomenon:
Whenever I punch it to pass the inevitable geriatric driver puttering along below (often well below) the posted speed limit, their cars invariably seem to veer wildly off onto the shoulder- as if my Stang emits some strange & Diabolical anti-gravity force which swiftly propells them out of my way!
The only other viable explanation for this odd phenomenon might be that the deep gurgling roar produced by my GTA's shocks and frightens them into feeing from the source of this onslaught of decibels- with the only escape route being the shoulder.
But seeing as how many (most) of them are probably as deaf as they are blind ("the cataract glasses capitol of the world"), I doubt if that could be the answer.
If only I had paid more attention in physics class, I might be able to account for both our observed phenomena- but alas..........

I personally observe that phenomenon quite often.. I'll be cruising down the freeway and a car - usually an import - jumps up along side of me, hangs there for a sec, thenpulls awaylike a smoking chainsaw. Tends to happen more when the vehicle in question has primered fascias and a whaletail spoiler.. curious indeed.
Huge plus one. I posted the following rant earlier today, that was promptly moved to off topic. I suppose it really is. But, while very lengthy, it describes what many of us get daily. I just HAD to vent this.....

I can't wait to move to one of those geriatric communities someday. Terrorizing my neighbors with burnouts. Unlike how I drive now at 39, which is like a grandma. No offense to grandmas out there :-)

this could also explain the huge number
of mustang collisions, of late....
