Are you sure you live in Boston? Usually, the goal seems to be to dare the other driver, sometimes coupled with taunting.

Yes, people do drive differently in different regions. Boston is the only place where I have had two cars totaled. It was parked both times. The second time the driver of the other car seemingly backed up and smashed into it again.

I love that dirty water.

I live in the South Shore but I'm not sure if that's better or worse.

I have done some traffic modeling in your area, and lived in the area. Boston has some aggressive drivers but that's probably due to the infrastructure being based on things like cow paths.
