Do you react differently depending on what car you're in?

Ford Transit - People just seem to think your a dirty scamming builder so dont let you out or honk the horn at the first opportunity.
Cadillac Escalade - People let you out, Go out there way to avoid you, stop as soon as you pull out of a space etc. Partially because of the size and partially because they think because im 23 that im a dodgy drug dealer.
Girlfriends Mini - Guys let you out thinking your a hot girl. Girls dont let you out thinking your a hot girl.

Renault Trafic van - Relaxed, not as bothered about dust or dirt inside or signs of use outside
Passat - It's a very dull silver Tdi, but it's kept clean as well as possible
being used like a kind of taxi, doesn't really get noticed
Both being driven very calmly, haven't noticed any kind of negative reactions
against these.
Alfa GTV 86' 2.0 - although not very fast compared to modern cars,
it is somehow rare now. No hate or envy from others, but still some people want to race it. To be fair it is used mainly for hooning, when it's not standing on it's very own car lift.
Ural sidecar 56' - new toy for next season, haven't ridden it so far
Don't know how I will cope with it's very strange character and small power
and how other people will adapt to the resulting driving style.
Buell XB9 - Battle for pole positon at every single traffic light, I can't
get myself to ride it calmly, it's too much fun
Hated by every single (Austrian) chav with barrified shopping trolley,
get's the usual attempts of blocking when filtering, but haven't
noticed any difference to other bikes in that matter.

I have to admit I found myself less patient and less tolerant of muppetry / mistakes from other road users when I got a car with a reasonable increase (to me) in power under my right foot. Not necessarily that I drove faster or more aggressively, just somehow more intolerant of idiots.
I can understand how this might be amplified in an already impatient / aggressive person with a big, torquey repmobile hence the BMW/Audi driver stigma.
Most chilled has to be in vehicles that can't be driven quickly, such as lorry slipstreaming in an old petrol Transit or pootling about in a noisy, uncomfortable small 4x4.

MGF, smile on my face and relaxed.
Focus 1.6 Zetec, hateful thing,no smiles except on frosty mornings when the magic windscreen makes me happy. (Especially watching most the non Ford owning neighbours chiselling the ice off).
02 Mondeo gives me the same feeling. Treat it like I hate it, which I do... Or rather I hate my life meaning that a £900 Mondeo is my daily... Until frost/snow appears. Then that screen Focus 1.6 Zetec, hateful thing,no smiles except on frosty mornings when the magic windscreen makes me happy.
