On average, the craziest, most aggressive drivers I see in my local are in the expensive, lifted 4x4 pickups. Not working trucks, but toy trucks and toy hauling trucks. They drive them like sports cars, typically 20+ over the limit and cut in and out of traffic like it's a fucking sport bike. And they have no clue how to drive them either. They're worse than soccer moms in a BMW or Lexus SUV, on the phone and doing their hair. I typically drive 5-10 over, and when I see one of those things coming up behind me I give them a LOT of room.

Around here, it's the beige cars that drive crappy (older people). I also notice Honda CR-V drivers can't drive. Again, older people and then soccer moms. Nothing wrong with older people driving, but if you have to drive 10mph, then you shouldn't be. Sometimes I wish I were a cop, I'd give tickets for driving under the speed limit.

My daily driver is a 25 year old Honduh that gets 35mpg. It has a dent in the hood where someone in a parking lot backed into it then drove off. I don't carry full coverage and would rather buy guns, groceries, and a nice car for my wife than pay out of pocket to repair it. I would also rather buy those things than buy another newer car that is more expensive to own.
I'm sorry for acting like a douche when I drive it. I also didn't realize leaving plenty of room between my self and the car in front of me, not passing like a maniac, parking way out in a lot because that's where the hills are and I may have to roll start it, driving in the right hand lanes on the interstate at no more that 10 over the speed limit because at 250K+ miles the engine is a little tired. Lets not forget coming to a complete stop at a stop sign because I have to put it in 1st gear to move again and must be completely stopped to do so. Oh I just remembered I cant pull out in front of you as my car hasn't the testicular fortitude to accelerate like a bat out of hell and your luxo barge SUV will squash my little car like a bug. If the above constitute being a douche and bad driver I sincerely apologize for being the a fore mentioned and will now rush down to my nearest new car stealership and go tens of thousands of dollars in debt for a depreciating "asset" so I will no longer offend anyone. Or maybe I will just keep my old car, buy more guns, groceries, and let my wife be a stay at home mother and not give a rats ass what others think about my old car or me. And no I don't make minimum wage.

Hmm... I've noticed just the oppossite, especially with the younger crowd... 16-25. The ones with nicer cars are generally spoiled and dont give a shit and end up driving like idiots and more seem to crash their new cars. While the ones with the crappier cars seem to care more about them and just generally drive better.

And no I don't make minimum wage. Yeah, I cruise along in the right lane, usually no more than 5-10 over (but not because my engine is tired), keep right except to pass, don't tailgate, enter the freeway at the same speed as the flow of traffic, use my signal, know how to use round-a-bout, don't run red-lights, have never caused a wreck, have insurance, let people over when they signal their intention, dim my headlights, don't text while driving, have never had a DUI etc, drive the right way down parking lot lanes, park further out so I can have plenty of room around me, probably some others I'm forgetting, and my truck doesn't have 2million lumen foglights all over, no tapout stickers, no truck-nutz, and has a stock suspension. I also currently make $27 an hour, bought a house in a nice area, have money saved up, investments, etc, plan on going to school with my GI bill I got from being in the ARMY and current Nat. Guard, and hate liberals, socialism, etc. But, since I drive $1300 89 firebird with a dented fender, I'm apparently a crappy driver, poor decision maker, and all-around general douchebag. (dented fender was from last summer when some tard hit me and didn't have insurance. Mine totaled my car. I'm currently keeping an eye out for a fender and a few other parts) |

When I was driving for a living, the absolute worst class of car in terms of driving were minivans. Between parents paying attention to their kids not the road and teens who just got a license with a bunch of their friends in the car they were far and away the worst.
Second was Mercedes SUV's, my theory is that %100 of the people who own those are narcissists or sociopaths. Third was a tie between all of the high end luxury/sports cars. Anything > say $60,000 base price significantly ups your chances of being an asshole. After that was shitty beaters driven by illegals and trailer trash, but that's a small segment of traffic in the Seattle metro area. Maybe they have more in CO though. |

I work in Baltimore City, and it's the last place I'd ever take a car I was making payments on.
If the drug-addled gang banger doesn't hit me while he runs a red light, or the uninsured illegal alien, then the octagenarian Jewish person will get me. I used to think my father was grumpy when he would say: "You can't have anything nice anymore", but he was just being a realist. If I worked somewhere better, I'd consider driving something nicer. |
