What I'm finding is that the mere sight of an MG turns drivers into instant
jerks. When I go to pass someone on the freeway, they get one glimpse of my
car and start to speed up to not let me pass. They also refuse to let me
merge into traffic. When I drive my Pathfinder or Altima, I never get the
sort of rudeness from other drivers that I experience in the MGB. Maybe
it's "Ragtop Envy".
