This may sound rediculous, but it's people who drive Toyota Camery's or any Lexus. I don't know what it is, but these people are the worst friggin drivers you ever have seen down here in South Florida. I make a joke to who ever is riding with me when I see one of these morons do something stupid. I say it must be the plastic fumes from the heat.

OK....for me...it's the people who can't handle driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time.  It's gonna take an accident for them to realize they just aren't that skilled. I love the folks driving manual transmission cars and talking on the phone (without a headset).  :crazy: :screwy:

Rusty, falling aprart minivans, packed full of crap, right to the top of the back window, dented, low tires, and a handicap plate.........driving 35 in a 55, after pulling out in front of you.........................
Shoe also fits..............

Suburbans.....
For tempo/taurus wagons.....
Explorers.....

You can spot these kind from a mile away, because they haven't been washed in two years, and you can smell the ciggarett smoke nine cars back. Usually drove by tweakers, old ladies, losers playing disability and welfare moms who haven't taken a shower, or brushed they're hair in a month.....

Be carefull of this kind of vehicle, they usually have bad brakes, a broken windshield, 1/8" of smoke film on the inside of the windshield, no brake lights, loose steering, crab sideways down the road, and are not insured.

If this post offends anyone, feel free to delete it.

I love the ones first thing in the morning see you coming down the road at the posted speed of 40 mph and pull out from thier driveway in front of you anyway and do 20-30 mph for the next mile or two b/c their car isn`t warmed up and they are still half asleep.Every time I take the highway I see numerous people who forgot what YIELD means when coming up an onramp and trying to merge onto the highway,they expect you to nail the brakes and let them in!  :pullinghair:

Car related, it's misc. maintenance items that weren't thought out at the factory. For instance, oil filters mounted vertically over the front suspension or that are nearly impossible to get to. Makes for a messy oil change.  You get the picture.

As for drivers, besides what's already been mentioned (except for Blackcuda, who might need therapy :naughty:), I have two gripes. Parking lot door dingers and people who refuse to let you mearge.  In Atlanta, both are major problems.  I just don't get it why someone will be a complete a-hole and almost cause a wreck in order to keep another car from merging into their lane.  I see it all the time.  I mean it's one freakin' car length! People have actually been killed here because of Road Rage!

Door dingers for sure and people who sit in the Passing lane on the Interstate doing 50 MPH. Move the H#** over and stop making me pass you on the right.

I have a few (guess that comes from being a cop for 22 years) but the worst is when I'm on the freeway in the left lane to pass a semi and just as I'm about get even with the semi trailer the @sshole driving the semi hits his left turn signal and at the same time pulls into the left lane to pass a vehicle in front of him, cutting me off! I have actually had to go off the left shoulder a couple of times to avoid being hit by one of these morons! Before I retired I used to talk with truckdrivers at the local truckstop quite a bit. The general attitude with them is that the 4 wheelers need to watch out for THEM because they are so big! Back when I was a kid the attitude with truck drivers was to be courteous to 4 wheelers because the trucks were so much bigger. What the heck happened in the last 40 years? :dunno:

Door dings at parking lots and people who haven`t learn to use the turning light.  :pullinghair:

Man, you got that right! You'd think that turn signals are a thing of the past the way they don't get used. Whatever happened to courteous driving?!

My alltime favorite is the gut ahead of you turning left on a divided road. They usually got 6 to 8 feet in front of them, but no they leave there ass hangin' out in the lane waitin' for traffic, holdin up cars for a block!! Once I actually got ,out, put on my flashers on, went to the edge of the median in front of the idiot and coached him the last five feet to get hin the hell out of the way!! So many times I've been so tempted to ram one of these morons!  :swear:

At an intersection, on the corner, turning right, turn signal on, sitting there waiting for the light to turn green. Even though it's legal to turn into that lane. Very common here.  :banghead:

On the road I hate trying to do a U-turn and then the guy on my left blows the red light and turns right. You can turn right on red but you must stop first!!!
(and not hit any other cars)

And I'm with BlackCuda on his too.  Any Lexus sucks out there, especially with blue headlights.
What's wrong with those guys?
