what a difference a car makes...
i am having to drive a brand new Merc C180 whilst my scoob is broken and i can honestly say that i wouldn't want to do it by choice 
after having a scoob for nearly 5 years and then driving the Merc for a few weeks i have realised how much Merc drivers are disliked.
i have never had to sit at junctions for so long in my life. people would rather rip your bumper off than let you out
has anyone else found that other road users are different towards you depending on what car you drive?

Squarey i have an E class & an ML (both mercedes) 
& have no issues up, my old BMW 645i that i chopped in for the ML was a different kettle of fish, people do not like BMW drivers at all.

No one lets me out.....
I just barge in, and let them eat my exhaust fumes !
Wah ha ha ha !
LOL
DunxC
P.S. I sometimes drive a fairly large mini-bus (?) and people tend not to argue the toss in that ! My pal went from a Scooby to a Seat, and is saddened that no-one notices it even tho' it's bright yellow....

Just an anecdote, but a friend had a yellow Roller, personal plate an' all. Got spat on a the T-lights. He swapped it for one of his rep's old diesel Passats and he's been very happy since 
Cars are emotive things. A BMW X5 was a bit pushy with me today, driving like a **** in pi55ing rain (as they do). I let him go. Quite proud of myself now
