I drive my Ford F150 Supercrew as a daily driver. Everyone gets out of my way and rarely do I need to dodge an accident. I feel completely invisible in my black 968. I was afraid to drive it over Christmas break to go shopping !! I am constantly dodging stop sign blowers, people who overshoot turns, and lane changers. Do my fellow 968'rs have the same experience ? Maybe because the car is black ? I think i'm going to try an orange replacement top !!!! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img]

I recently had an incident in my silver 68 where I was stationary in the inside lane and a "driver" in the outside lane came past too close and at about 5 kph and scraped all the way down the side of my car. Their excuse - "I didn't see you". Refusing to admit blame and pay up as well. Wonderful human being. Before that a rabbit ran into me causing ridiculous amounts of damage and previous to that another driver rear ended me. All in 2 years. So perhaps 968s are stealth cars.

Congratulations, New Jersey drivers! You are officially the worst drivers in the United States!

My 968 is Midnight Blue and I know that people can't always see me. SUV drivers are among the worst and the absolute worst are those idiots that use a window tint so dark you can't even see their faces, which I believe is illegal and clearly not enforced here in California. I'm pretty sure they can't see me day or night. I make liberal use of the horn when I think someone is going to move over on me.

i've been backed over twice while parked, rear ended while stopped, and clipped at the front left

yeah - i'd say stealth, but i think the cops have anti-stealth technology because they have sure seen me

Defensive driving and thumbs resting on those horn buttons is the answer!
I lived in Brazil from 1989 to 1999 and that's the only way to drive there. This method has also really helped me out when riding my motorbike in the past few years.

Yes you are.
I've been rear ended twice, and cut off more times than I can recollect.
Thankful for speed and agility to avoid the rest.
Keep a keen awareness of others on the road, they don't seem to see this car.
Mine's black!

My car is also black and seems to have come from the factory with a very rare special accessory option: hidden super high power electro magnets built into the car.

I've lost track of the close calls over the years. Thankfully no one has been successful at having actually hit me, so far. It's frustrating to always be on guard and at the height of uber-awareness when driving the car no matter where or how far. I don't drive in the cold crappy winter weather and only in the rain if no other option is available.

My other vehicle is a Ford Explorer and much like the rest of you have stated, no such problems exist when driving it on the same exact roads, same time of day (commuting), same traffic density, etc.

All too often it seems that the act of "driving" is a third or fourth order of business to the propensity of American drivers. And it seems to be getting worse every day.

Shameful.

Try driving with your lights on during daytime (as they do in Scandinavia, and I believe in Canada) makes a hell of a difference in my experience. (I use the fogs only daytime to avoid having the main beams up all the time)
