Anyone get frustrated with people thinking you are a cop?

On the way home from the dealer I was chasing my wife, her in her RS and me in my ST. Must've looked like a police chase the way we were cutting through the light late-afternoon traffic

Thanks for the replies and good points you made. I think I will go with the silver and anytime I get frustrated on residential roads with people driving slow in front of me, I will just remember the times on the highway where people moved out of the left lane for me.
A newer Dodge Challenger scat pack drove past me on the highway. I gunned it and caught up quickly behind his vehicle. He immediately pulled off to the right to let me pass.
Ran into him at the gas station down the road. He said he nearly $hit his pants when he saw me driving up quickly behind his vehicle. I drive a blacked out ST. It made my day.

Yes. It’s frustrating when you need to get somewhere in a hurry, and sometimes just when you’re having fun. Normally people in the Phoenix area drive,10-15 over the speed limit. But a couple years ago, Arizona Highway Patrol switched to silver Tahoes and Explorers. I have a silver ST. I didn’t think about it before hand, but now it is obvious. Most folks are oblivious when someone creeps up on them in the fast lane, but you can see panic setting in when they think I might be a trooper. They immediately slow down, and rarely bail to the right. In hindsight, I wish I found a Silver Spruce or an Atlas Blue ST spec’d like mine.

That sounds fairly passive aggressive. I probably would've gotten shitty with them, but I am also really immature when it comes to people being passive aggressive. It drives me crazy. It's like they don't have the fortitude to say what they want and then try to walk back when you call them out.

This has happened twice to me too (people approach me after I stop). I don't take it as passive aggressive but a relief to them that I wasn't a cop when I road up on their rear bumper so quickly.
I can see them tense up in their rearview or drivers side mirrors. Oh, the simple joys in life.
