I Cannot Keep This A Secret Anymore

I hate any of the many douche bags that can't resist coming up beside me as I have my cruise control set to 60-65 in the right lane and rev their engines at me and let me hear their mighty BOVs just before they downshift to prove some kind of point.

Interesting how idiots are never hard to identify, they always seem to be compelled to do something totally stupid that makes them stand out from from the herd while excellence is usually a quiet thing that doesn't demand attention.

Dodge drivers. More specifically Challenger/Charger drivers who have tailgated and tried to race me countless times or just drive plain aggressively when it's not necessary at all. A lot of them are just the V6 owners too and not even the V8's which is even more annoying. In my area at least, most of these guys who drive challengers or chargers automatically think they're the king of the road and the rules don't apply to them. I'm all for having fun while driving and stuff but when you're surrounded by a bunch of other cars, trying to weave in and out of traffic and cut people off is just plain infuriating. I remember I even got so mad at one point when a guy cut me off and left about 2 centimeters between my bumper and his, so I slammed the accelerator in my car, returned the favor by cutting him off and then when he tried to catch up to me I left him in the dust which was pretty satisfying. And don't get me wrong, i'm a fan of the actual car but I've just encountered really shitty drivers behind the wheel of these cars for the most part. I don't have a problem with any brand of car at all, but this is just been my experience.

I agree where I live is mostly retirees and they buy mustangs, Camaros and challengers I guess to bring back their youth. The mustang and challenger drivers drive like idiots yes even being 70 plus years old but oddly enough the Camaro drivers drive normally btw these are the newer cars I’m talking about

This is gonna sound weird, but Challenger owners here are mostly pretty sedate. I guess when you know you're loaded with power you don't need to show off to a Civic... haha.

Now, Charger owners? Most act like it's NASCAR and behave pretty dumb. I see 'em and I back way off cuz they're stupid and I don't need headaches. The econo Chargers don't worry me much either. Those I pass or step away without much drama.

Now, RAM trucks? Whole 'nother story. Most time I'm SMH at their dumbass behavior.

Guess it varies depending on area. Ram Trucks are mostly alright here actually except for the lifted diesel ones.

Most Chargers around here are Cop Cars, I'd say at least half the chargers around here are cop cars, very few regular people have them these days.

That's interesting. There's definitely a decent amount of people around here who drive chargers. Granted, it's not wildly popular because sedans are getting less popular in general, but there's still enough of them out there at least where I live.

well in my county we have the County Sheriffs, the Ellijay PD and the East Ellijay PD (2 cities who borders are nothing but lines on a map) and every squad car that isn't an SUV is a Charger, hell I saw 5 County Sheriff Chargers haulin ass with the siren's going just the other day on my way into town. where for comparison I have a neighbor across the street that has a Charger and I might notice 1 or 2 other ones around town that aren't cop cars in the times of day I go through town. They have definitely become less popular with the second gen of the sedans, you used to see the first gen sedan Chargers and the Wagon thing that was built on the same frame (that I can't remember the name of right now) but the Challengers are even rarer, I think i've seen a total of 2 in the county, 1 orange one that belonged to this guy that used to go to the church our family used to attend and I saw a Blue one one time also. That car just didn't sell very well with it's like 11-12 MPG rating (If i'm remembering correctly).

It is the kids on bicycles who worry me the most. They are awfully quick, they might do absolutely anything, and since they are under sixteen none of them actually knows how to drive. If you see a kid on a bike glance over his shoulder, consider it a turn signal. One moment after that quick look, he will sure as Hell swerve right across the road to get to the community swimming pool. And if a big brother does that reckless maneuver, his little brother will usually follow, showing blind trust in his brother and in my careful driving.

I also have to mention the fast drivers in Hartford, Connecticut. Get on any of the Interstates that cut through the city, and you will see people driving like there's a woman giving birth in the back seat. Here's my advice to Hartford drivers: Before you leave your parking space, take note of the other people in your car. If there is a pregnant woman in the back seat yelling that the labor pains are four minutes apart, then give it all you've got. Otherwise, (considering that the birth rate in Hartford is about the same as everywhere else) just slow down and drive normally.

It seems the largest, highest and most aggressive pickups with the largest, noisiest tires seem to be the most desirable. The diesel powered ones that belch huge volumes of black smoke also seem to have a special place in the hearts of those who are enamored with this lifestyle. One would be cautioned NOT to follow one of these displaying a "Skoal" bumper sticker too closely. Just saying.

There’s a area in the next town from me where this so called “monster trucks “ can go because no snow in Florida it’s called The Red Neck Park. It’s a big mud puddle so they could break drive shafts get stuck blow engines and so on and so on and call in to work the next day because they broke the only vehicle they have ( I know because we have a coworker that does this at least once a month) I’ll stick with my civic
