    What does a car say about it's driver?

    Ever notice that people with particular cars have some sort of "arrogance" about how they drive their cars?

    Driving for work I have seen alot of activity on the roads (65k miles in 18 monthes) so I feel I have a good vantage point to call out some of these car models and those that drive them. Let me state that this is NOT A SCIENTIFIC study as I'm sure Bruce and George will want some facts or article from MSN about it......

    People with BMW's, Audis, Mercedes, Infinities, and Acuras drive like tools.

    I won't bother with studies and facts. All it takes is a ski rack to make for a bad driver! People with ski racks think they're invincible in the winter.

    Can't vote in your poll because my choice isn't there. Every VW GTI I see seems to be driven by a maniac with a death wish.

    Yea, I sometimes think these cars are sold with optional turn signals & most don't buy them, 'cause they never use 'em!

    If I had to pick one group -- it would be "tuner" drivers. Doesn't matter what brand, ass soon as you put a tuner wing on and and chop a couple of coils out of your springs, you apparently forget how to drive. (The exception seems to be people with "real" tuners, who seem to be just like us Mustang people -- don't really need to prove anything.)

    And (sorry Bruce) Prius owners who "hyper-mile" and treat their average mpg meter like some sort of "I'm Special" award.
    (At one point I was gonna get a license plate frame that said "My Cobra burns the gas your Prius saves")

    No offense taken. I'm not a hyper-miler and they bug me as much as they bug you, whether I'm in the Stang or the Prius. I did it a couple of times just to prove I could get over 50mpg out of it, but that was enough for me.

    Don't forget Subaru Wagon's.. never once seen one that wasn't doing 5 below the speed limit in the fast lane on the highway or riding their brakes 5 below during commuter hours with a train of cars behind it.

    LOL! You need to be behind my wife! 2008 Forester, always drives 5-10 over the limit and hates to be in the left lane. If she hogs anything it's the middle lane!
