And also people who cut you off without the signal. No courtesy on the roads these days.

Piece of S$#@ ricers with painted windshield wipers who back in the parking spot right next to me. I don't know you! Your car sucks, and makes mine look ricey just being near me!
Jacka$$es with tachs mounted on their car just to look cool, who pull up next to me and say, "What kind of turbo do you have?" Give me a break, you wouldn't know what I'm talking about if I spelled it on your FOREHEAD!! Try asking something intelligent for a change!!
METAL WINGS!!! AHHH!! You're not fooling anyone. Why are you wasting money on crap that doesn't make your car better?
Dangling coffee can mufflers that sound like a thousand bees in a tin can. You make us all look bad!!
Oh wait, one more, MUSTANGS ON DAYTONS!! Nuff said

1. 17 year olds in their first cars: Sl 500s, Vipers, Audi A 8s, any car over $30,000
It should be mandatory for first time young drivers to start with a highly embarassing car and work their way up the food chain before then get to drive something a 40 yr old stock broker should have. I started with a Dodge Caravan, then a Subie L Wagon, now my GC8. Everyone should have to do their time.
2. Construction/Dirt Haulers then don't cover their load. As much as I love to have my car sandblasted at 60 I would love it even more if they would have the decency to respect a fellah's paint.
3. Escalade drivers that take their half out of the middle in a vain attempt to rationalize their choice of a modified Chevy Avalanche. If you want to own the road buy a hummer...
4. Kids in Berretas that almost hit my neighbor's kid playing on the side of the road in a 25 mph zone. Riiighhhtt...
Blah!

I almost blew past this thread as being juvenile.
But then I thought about it, read a few posts and my blood started to boil.
Here are just a few of my least favorite things;
* People that drive at dusk with no lights on.
* People who drive in the rain with no lights on.
* People who drive at night with no lights or just their parking lights on. (WTF!)
* People who drive at any time with their main lights, foglights (amber) and/or driving lights (white) on all at the same time and I'm in the middle of city traffic on a main throughfare with stadium style streetlights overhead at every block.
* People that cannot drive for $hit, making left turns from the far right lane across three lanes of traffic or vice versa.
* People that cannot parallel park.
* People that drive cars that obviously are not new to them (full of cell phones, books on tape, BigMac wrappers, newspapers, etc.) that take 5 minutes to back out of a parking spot as though they have no clue how long thier Toyota Echo is.
* People that drive SUV's, Minivan's, pickup's and any other remotely truckish and/or offroadish vehicle that slow to 1mph to go over speed bumps in parking lots. Then they always have to go over the bump one wheel at a time. Meanwhile my 93 Legacy with 180K miles will take a speedbump at 30mph like nothing and has never needed a front end alignment.
* People that slow down to look at accidents creating backups and turning a 35 minute drive to Rockville, MD from Vienna, VA in to 1.5 hrs of hell on the highways.
* People that are too lazy, inconsiderate or just stupid to move their busted car out of the freaking road and off to the side/curb during a slight fender bender. If the car can move, move it out of the street people!
* People that drive 55mph in the left most lane, which is in every state of the union intended for passing, totally oblivious to the line of cars behind them hoping to do nothing more than...PASS!
* People that get all insulted and ticked off becuase you flashed them to pass. These are by the way the exact same people doing 55mph in the left most lane on a five lane superhighway.
* People that refuse to get the heck out of the way when emergency equipment are enroute to help someone. I know this has been stated by someone previously but it bears repeating. Last March I was in a horrible accident (due to some dumb a$$ driver) and while enroute to the hospital for assistance (full lights & sirens show) the ambulance got stuck at an intersection for three minutes becuase peopel just sat there and refused to move their cars to the right most lane of the road (state law!). The ambualnce driver was so pissed that he called for a State Police officer at the crash scene to come forward and clear him a path the remainder of the way.
* People that hate on kids fortunate enough in life to be born to a parent who's net worth allows them to buy their kids nice stuff & cool cars we all wished our parents would give us.
* People that were fortunate enough in life to be born to a parent who's net worth allows them to buy their kids nice stuff & cool cars we all wished our parents would give us, and they act like a-holes on the road and then go wreck said nice toy doing stupid stuff.
* People that cut off motorcyclists.
* People that tow big a$$ boats behind equally big SUV's and they obviously have no skill or experience at towing as they cannot maintain their lane, do not signal to change lanes and ther loads aren't evenly balanced resulting in extreme tongue loads and their SUV's nose pointing at the sky and front wheels dancng on the road.
* People that drive 65 MPH + with a temp-a-spare tire.
* People that drive Dodge 'Ram' anything that typically have those super loud exhaust and then drive through residential neighborhoods between 10PM and 9AM zooming through and/or lugging their engine (i.e. idling) so that everyone in a 1/2 mile radius can hear them as they wake up sleeping people, their kids the dog and car alarms.
* People clear their front windshield in the winter time and then drive off leaving all their other glass including the rear window completely covered in snow/ice.
* People that ask you for directions at stoplights to places no where near where you are now (i.e. I'm on Mass. Ave in DC and some dork asks me how to get to Gaither Rd. in Gaithersburg, MD).
* People (relatives especially) that take road trips through multiple states and don't take the tme to hit MapQuest and get DIRECTIONS nor do they own a roadmap ($20 from Costco!) or a NAV system. My inlaws do this all the dang time then they call me on their cell all upset that their phone only has 3 minutes of talk time left and they "just need to know where to turn", and their still two states away (!).
* People that basically have no effective basic driving skill or knowledge of traffic rules & regs what so ever.
Ok, I'm done.
Somehow that made me feel better about my day.

You're cool. I agree.

erf me
hahaha this post is great....I wonder what most of the people in the world would think if they read this post.
first of all...I drive a 98 RS....WHY does EVERYONE tell me I have an awsome WRX???
I think the greatest event that pisses me off is when im flying down the highway in the fast lane. and some lonely fool decides hes going to live life on the wild side and start driving in the fast lane. So he doesnt bother to put on his blinker or anything....just kinda wanders out into the fast lane.....RIGHT in front of my car ! seeing this, I SLAM on my brakes and barely avoid pummeling into the back of his dodge stratus. why the f*ck are you going to drive in the fast lane when you are driving SLOW in the first place? I guess driving in the fast lane makes you get there faster or something.....
