Probably the thing that is the most aggravating is when the family sedan pulls up on the freeway and hangs left rear just wanting to see the car... They eventually pull ahead and give you a thumbs-up but it's distracting.

Absolutely. Or you'll be minding your business in the right lane, the SUV will pull in the left lane, speed up and then run along side you for about 3 miles, you slow, he slows, you speed he speeds, and in 5 minutes there is a new traffic pattern building behind you. All the while his giant tires are drowning out your pipes and whatever pleasant thoughts you might have had. That's why I avoid highways whenever possible and take the back roads.
Saturday some guy in a 5 series Bimmer pulls behind my on the parkway, follows me for about a mile (on my bumper) then does a dramatic lane change and accererating all the while. I'm doing about 70, and he flies by at about 90. Red light comes, (he's been sitting there for 10 - 15 seconds by the time I get there), and the light turns green -- he's flooring it and "chirping" his tires. Wow, was I impressed (tongue deeply embedded in cheek). He really showed me (like I cared) how manly he was in his 4000 lb. eurocoupe.
Unfortunately this is what you have to deal with on every trip.
