Default Car Brand and personality

I know it's popular to bash BMW owners and thier cars, but in my experience, BMW folk seem like pretty good drivers, overall.

#1 on my a$$hole list would be Infinity Q4x and higher owners. They seem as a group to honestly believe they own the road, and traffic should part for them. They will NEVER allow a merge, and will do anything to get/stay in front of you.

#2 would be large Lincoln and Cadillac car owners, very late or new models. They also try to prevent merging, but thier 60-80 times are a joke, so they never succeed! This makes them very mad, and I had one chase me for miles, after I refused to be cut off. BTW, it was a clean manouver, not even vaguely close to him or anyone else, he just resented my ability to accelerate MUCH faster than him.

And lastly would be volvo owners. As a group, they are not hostile, or anything, just totally oblivious to any other traffic.

Mustangs, Cameros, and the like are OK, sometimes challenging me, sometimes not, but never obnoxious. Same for BMW cars, and the growing herd of Rice cars!

Default Yea!! I'd add "Non-working Pickups and Large SUV's" between #1 and #2

The P/ups are those owned by people who have no real reason to own a p/up, it is compensation for P.I.G.S. syndrome (Perception of Inadequate Genital Size). They drive like eveything is a personal ego challenge in a vehicle that is not capable of handling that driving.

Large SUV's 'cause they are clueless to the rest of the planet.

Default Hey, I own a Volvo, and I'm always looking in my mirrors.

But very few people can pass if I'm not willing to let them, since Garrett made me a 1.4 bar chip for it, so I'm usually in front :-).

Default SUV = M.I.D. - Minivans In Denial...

I was about to write, "you forgot SUV's". Most SUV owners are younger kids like the icy cold stuntaz who want bling bling beep beep in the back of my jeep, or people who need the extra room for kids and stuff but won't buy a minivan out of pride. these are the most dangerous people on the road. they feel fast and invinsible. i make it a point to distance myself from MID's whenever possible.
