Do other drivers really hate the TL/TLS that much? UPDATE- Bagel!

i don't have assholes throwing stuff at me, but me and my buddy do not understand why we get stared down riding in my car.
this is my TL
just regular car with springs and a little bit of exhaust note. yet SOMEHOW we get stared at by what must be 60% of people we pass.
which is also more looks than in my previous car
and more than in his car
and neither of us drive like assholes anymore. hell...my avg highway speed is 65-70 mph and i'm a daily commuter into Chicago. no i do not sit in the left lane. most passing is done in the right 2 lanes around here.

I understand their mentality for slowing/stopping (beings cautious), but to actually roll down a window, stop and yell at someone who did *nothing* wrong was ridiculous.

Technically, you did nothing wrong but there is a driving etiquette that you violated. It's called respecting other drivers around you. Making others stop, yield, swerve, panic.... because of your actions is what I am referring to. Again, I agree with you that calling you a name on Christmas Day was not appropriate. Just my two cents.

like others said the driving habits of people have to do with the pace they live their life. People on the east coast run at a million miles an hour while people in the midwest like to live life a little slower... people on the west coast operate at a snails pace. MY dad and I were talking about this at christmas if you make a call to someone on the east coast asking for something they will get back to you that day. Midwest might take a day or two west coast they prly will get back to you in a week after you have called them two times. But the biggest thing i hated about living on the east coast coming from the midwest its normal to say hello to someone you dont know in a grocery store and strike up a conversation. Most people on the east coast just give you a strange face if you attempt this. Its just two very different styles of living.

it's a car-drive it
^^This. I live in the South an it's VERY normal to say hello, how are you? etc, and randomly have strangers compliment you or talk about something in general. My friends who're not from here find that very weird. They love the rudeness up north.Creeps my friend Jess out. She's was telling me about a little old lady who just started talking to her out the blue.It's NORMAL here.

Ya'll should try rolling down your window to say hi to a stranger in New Orleans.... hahahaha hope you have bullet proof glass!
Most of the drivers down here drive pretty slow, partially because the most popular car of choice is an 80's model cutlass that will likely hang a rod out of the block if you drive it too fast. lol

My dad has lived in Jersey for a good part of his life,
East Orange, Newark and some other cities and he is the opposite of you, he said Cali is way better and has more to offer.
My cousin actually just moved out here to Cali (lived in Jersey for 29 years) longer then you were born and said Jersey is a fuckin nut shell.

After reading that I guess I was not in Jersey-must have been a different state- I have no problems talking to strangers. I also have many others saying Hi and we talk while waiting at the checkout or just in general. Yes there are the rude ones but I find that here in NC-does not make everyone in NC rude and unfriendly and neither does it in NJ. If we ever meet up do not be shocked if I say Hi.

I think because since you have the money to buy such a nice car, they believe you should ultimately push its limits and not be such of a pansy. In my own personal matter, they are just dumb and immature.

I think OP is full of it or he's driving like a dick to get this kind of attention. As for people hating on the TL, comeon guys, it's pretty much a entry level luxury car and it's still a Honda at the end of the day. I doubt very many people are hating on my FWD car. Don't get me wrong though, I love my TL-S but it's not a luxury car some people on this forum make it out to be.

biggest difference is the way of thinking and perspective (east coast vs. west coast). having now lived on the east coast and grown up on the west coast....i miss cali, the people are nicer and not as uptight...there are a few other things, but those are the major ones. maybe the arsonist is getting too much sun in cali
cali also offers one of the only places where you can go to the beach to watch gorgeous sunsets over the pacific and go to the snow (real skiing on a real mtn) 4 hours apart.

Then again I have taken german drivers off the start block as well who tried to be serious..
The only german cars I have issues beating are either VWs or Audis.. VW because I cant take them serious until 2 seconds into it... and Audis.. well S4 or S6 or higher... I am not ready yet to beat a V8... but I will be...

In our cross country travels we found many nice friendly people in each state-then there was the a-holes. I am what you call a people person. Try to be friendly to others. Yes those sunsets on the ocean in CA are beautiful. The sunrises on the east coast coast are, too. Not a snow person-so I could live without. One of the reasons we moved from the Poconos in Pa to NC.

Why did you move to the east coast?
