I was just thinking...

When I see somebody pulling up next to me in traffic here in Tucson, depending on how what their car is I can usually guess correctly how they're going to behave in traffic. Basically, I stereotype the car but it has actually saved me from being caught in some near-misses and collisions.

Example:

When I see the murdered-out 300C's on 26's, the newish Nissan Altimas, or lifted Nissan Titans with a flat-billed bro behind the wheel (at least here in Tucson) I can almost count on them pulling a crazy maneuver or stunt in thick traffic to get ahead of everyone. I think overall the 2.5S Altima drivers are the scariest here in Tucson, I probably see about 10 of them a week do an extremely dangerous, overly-aggressive move on the road.

When you guys see a particular car, is it the same way for you? Do you just count on certain types of cars being total morons so you give them that extra cushion to not kill anybody?

WRX drivers ;)


seriously though, minivaners will always be the worst.


I've also recently read an article about a gene that makes people drive bad and irrationally. I guess the same gene coincides with bad taste in cars.

lol

Dude I read an article about that on Reuters!

Drivers of older, crappier cars ... they always think they can go 10 under in the fast lane and get mad when they're tailgated for not moving over.

A couple of weeks ago I saw this bro in a lifted Excursion in front of me, both of us were waiting at a red light. Apparently he had a GE turbine engine under his hood because as soon as it turned green all I heard was what sounded like the F/A-18's we had at my old command taking off. From there his freakin enormous tires roasted themselves to probably 50 mph, huge diesel soot cloud and all.

Normally I would have been pissed that I got covered w/ soot but I had to admit it was pretty amazing lol

When I saw the Excursion I had a feeling he was going to drive crazy... Sure enough he did.

The worst drivers, I've found, are the "holier-than-thou" 'enviro-friendly, green-car' drivers with a thousand bumper stickers all over the back of their car. And for every beenie in the back, on the dash, around the sides, etc. you square the shitiness of their driving.

The others I don't like are women doing their makeup, drinking coffee, and texting while driving. Especially bad if they're having a business meeting while doing 70 and trying to take notes while on the road, dear god.

*saw both on my way from WV to NJ - about a 5-hr drive*

Another: Drivers of 90s to early 2000s BMWs.

They think they're on the Ring or something lol. It's actually entertaining because they're always in 330s or 530s and think they can cut me off and that I'm slower than them or something ;)

LOL

You aren't kidding. I work at the University of Arizona for my civilian job. I see people in those cars everyday, way more than I'd like. Half the time there is some self-righteous hippy behind the seat, wearing their Vegan sweater and hemp pants. People in Prius, old Legacy wagons, old Volvo wagons, etc tend to have no consideration for the flow of traffic.

Although, I remember watching a Prius and a 1993ish Nissan Sentra battle for left lane supremacy on the interstate once. It was by far the most pitiful display of power I've ever seen. Every time I think about watching that highway battle fail it literally makes me "lol"

flat-billed bro

love it.

i'm so gonna start saying this all the time and point them out to myself for fun.

maybe keep a memo pad in the car with a pencil and keep count
















nor cal brah!

i see this when i'm anywhere a river or the coast

This definition from urban dictionary is so freakishly accurate I swear someone I worked with at the harbor must have wrote it:

"a usually white young male, found commonly in places like san bernardino county in california, as well as orange county. always, without exception, drive big lifted trucks, often white. has the name of their crew or whatever in big white letters on their back window (ie, "skin", "metal mulisha". wear: trucker hats off center, plug earrings, sunglasses, wife beater shirt or no shirt, sagging dickies shorts, high black socks, skater shoes or those black corduroy slipper things, have a lot of tatoos of things like stars."

DOUCHEBAGGERY OF THE HIGHEST ORDER

Also known as DOTHO. Most often exclaimed whilst thrusting arm vertically pointing skyward with the index finger. Fairly self explanatory: extremely advanced douchebaggery. Carl Saganesque level douchebaggery. If douchebaggery was grade school Earth Science, DOTHO would be Advanced Quantum AstroPhysics III.

"Steven Hawking was PRETENDING to be crippled? That's Douchebaggery of the Highest Order."


Clicky

330s are pretty quick, my friend has a 330i ZHP with the M3 6 speed manual, Im pretty sure it would leave you behind







Back when I had my Bimmer we used to do drives all the time down Route 66, probably around 30-40 BMWs, all types of things, M3s, M5s, regular ass E39s and E36s and E46s

Heres the both of ours outside my house,



We did this thing where everyone would be in a single file line doing 60, then the guy at the end of the line would get in the left lane, kick down and do a fly by all the way to the front, then the next guy. You got to hear some nice exhaust noise and it made for some cool pics
