Just wanted to get some other people's thoughts and opinion on this one...
Do you think the type of car a person drives has some/any influence on how they are as a driver? Or do drivers seek out cars that reflect their personalities?


Do certain car coincidentally have aggressive/reckless/idiotic drivers? For examples, Corvette, H2, Porsche drivers all have the same attitude when they're driving?

On the flip side, are there any cars that tend to have "better" drivers? The new Beetle, ever seen a jerk behind the wheel?

My experience has made me think many truck drivers (F150 etc) are bullies who tail you every chance they get. Ladies in Mercedes are flat out dangerous as they think they own the road and hardly ever signal when changing lanes and always try to pass you on the right. Heck, if they hit you, you'd be dead and they'd have a chipped fingernail, so what do they care, right? College chicks in Mustangs like to drive fast and dart in and out of traffic, but if you try to race them, they chicken out. Guys in Priuses think they can go 90 just b/c they are in hybrids (Newsflash! You're getting the same MPG as my ST, idiot!). And the worse of the worse, Civic guys revving at stop lights just because they see you (or me) in a modded car. Geeze learn more about cars and stop asking me if I got a turbo, it's an ST not A GT4! Also, we both live in CA, so what do you think?

OMG!!! HELL YEAH ALL THE TIME!! especially in the Cali Honda/Acura Ricer state!! it pisses me off when they go next to you in a street and then starts revving with their sihtty muffler cans. and then if you see them go in the freeway they like go hella slow, slower than the normal freeway speed limit and they chicken out when it comes to racing in the freeways... theres this guy that lives next to me and him and his friend keeps on asking me to 'race them' with their POS acura integra that looks herrendusly FUGLY, every single day they see me.....I told them, " Us REAL tuners dont have time for you STREET RICERS. we have our own standards. If you want to get your car crushed then go look for some other kiddy honda thats stupid enough to race you." Im pretty sure that pissed him off because he stopped talking and walked away.....but im sure one of these days theyll ask again to race.....idiots....
