What cars always overtake you or act like a moron?

This morning this MDX was driving at least 85mph on the freeway where the speed limit is only 45mph. What a dummy. So, just wanted to know what cars always overtake you when you're driving. Here are the top 5 I always see:

1. Honda Civics they always think they're so fast even if they only have at least 140hp unless it's an Si which is still only 197hp, come on still not even 200hp

2. Dodge Ram, yeah they might have a hemi, but why do they drive like they're the king of the road?

3. Nissan Altima 2.5, whenever I see one they always swerve in traffic and think they're driving a 350z, stupid you only have 175 hp.

4. Both the Honda Odessey and Dodge Caravan, why are they such in a hurry?

5. Chevy Suburban and GMC Yukon, they're big and hazardous, but yet drive like they're invinsible, terrible.

I agree Whiskers. In Edmonton where there is often snow six months of the year it's not uncommon to see a moron passing you in an SUV or 4x pickup. It's also not uncommon to see them in the ditch or around a pole a few minutes later.

Minivans overtake many where I live and/or do anything they can to get into the left lane and then drive like old farts

Dodge Ram SRT-10, but if I had a viper engine I'd drive the shit out of the car also. And that thing can smoke most other cars on the road.

Other than that, I don't really notice

This morning, I had some moron in a Nissan Versa blast past me doing at least 20 mph more than I was doing (which was already about 15 mph above the speed limit). As he passed by, I caught a glimpse of his dumbass stuffing his face with fries. Who the fuck eats fries at 9AM?

geez, don't worry about him, if he's the type eating fries at 9AM, he'll likely die of a heart attack or stroke in 8-10 years.

For me, it's G35s mostly. A lot of G35 owners drive very aggressively and abruptly. Also, a lot of them are extremely arrogant that they think G35s are the best car ever. (including some of my close friends ). I believe about 1 or 2 out of 10 owners hardly know what they are doing...

Usually, they are SUV's or pick-ups. I don't know what's up with the Cleveland drivers. They just don't use the blinkers. They would just overtake you without indicating at all. Even the crawlers around here don't use the blinkers. It's so annoying...

Anyway, after these morons overtake you, don't you just wish that they would be stopped by the cops ahead of you, and then you can just give them an evil grin as you drive past them? LOL

when I had my 02' TL-S... I'd always get the redneck with the lifted "bigfoot" truck behind me... ya know... the one's that are never taken in the dirt or offroading? (guys that are "compensating" for their "short comings") Anyway, I'm not saying my TLS was the fastest sedan out there at all... but to a lot of these guys they have no clue... and just assume it's "just another Honda" or something... anyway, at a light.... they'll be behind me revving their engines... and when the light turns green... I'd gun it... and they can't keep up, because they're... well... THEY IN A TRUCK... I don't care if it's got a V10 or whatever... trucks are meant for torque and hualin' and towing... I can't believe those guys still think they can just race or keep up with cars...fuck, a Honda Odyessy is fast off the line... They funny thing is... they guzzle like a gallon of gas trying to out do a car It's not like I'd ever race them on a dirt road going up hills


(note: this post does NOT include Dodge Ram SRT-10's and Ford F150 Lightings)

Yeah, but the idea that potatoes in grease is the same. Don't know why it makes a difference if you are considering one thing bad at 9am and the other ok.

But you guys need to understand that a lot of MALE minivan drivers are trying to compensate.... many of them probably are forced by their wives to drive a minivan, and they are so embarrassed and ashamed of it.... so they suffer from a severe case of identity crisis with their manhood.... in order to compensate, they have to prove to the world that they are still fast and nasty in a minivan!!!!!!!!!

FEMALE drivers in a minivan are a totally different story though....

usually mustangs and civics

also around here, a lot of tourists in rental cars ie. cobalts, calibers, etc. will drive either way too fast, or way too slow. But I guess i'd drive the hell out of a rental car too.

Hmmm... that would be me in the Odyssey minivan challenging those punks in their Porsches on PCH... :surrender
On the other hand, my wife lets me the more I drive the minivan, so I'm not sure if I want my manhood or virility back if I can't exercise it...
And women in SUVs who are on the phone sometimes act like morons by straying out of their lane and/or driving about 10 mph below the speed limit, while some male virgins in subcompact riceboxes with coffee-can exhausts and mid-30's guys in big GM SUV mommy-mobiles tend to weave through medium or heavy traffic for no apparent reason.

Here in Charlotte it's typically Lexuses (Lexi??) and MBs.

And ALMOST always it's someone with a Georgia license plate. Do you have to drive like an asshat to live in Atlanta?

The crappier the car is the more aggressive the driving is in my area. All the nice cars such as SL, 6 series...etc drives rather safe.

Usually its some ricer Civic/Integra, redneck Mustang/Camaro revving the piss out of their car on the public roads.

Once in a while though, I encounter something new. I got passed by this Corolla the other day:



Or should I say, BMW?

Usually people in new cars wanting attention.
Riced up cars/trucks. BMW drivers.
Mini-vans/SUV trying to show off how fast they can go in a straight line.

I'm going to add some BMW drivers drive like nutcases.

This guy was showing off how fast his 1998-2004 330i was in rush hour traffic going home. What an assclown. Swerving in traffic.

It is the only way tpo survive here. And as for my addition to this thread, all I have to say are the following:

1. Watch out for the minivans
2. If ONE more Scion TC cuts me off........
3. If girls don't stay off of the cell phone while driving if they can't multitask... (I had an 18 wheeler barreling down behind me and this girl in front of me is doing 25 in a 50 MPH zone while intermittently pressing her brakes (In the fast lane) I finally get a chance to get around her and she is looking down trying to dial her phone.


Dislaimer:

This post is not meant to offend the millions of responsible women drivers who drive responsible every day.

Same here. In any type of inclement weather you can count on SUVs zipping down the highway as if they were invincible.

When I go to work I am usually being chased down by a giganto truck that has NUTS for torque and horsepower. You know, the trucks that have huge lifts and beefy tires.

Also, but not forgotten, Civics, Older accords, RSXs...small sport compacts that have shopping cart wings. I hate those fuckers because most drive by me like they're tracking their car. :ghey:

BMW e90 3-series are always in a hurry. Always tailgating people. I hope they slam their car into someone's rear end and then they will learn their lesson.
