The Top Five Cars Driven by Arrogant, Rude and Aggressive Drivers

We have all experienced it. As we drive along at the normal pace of traffic on the freeway you are cutoff by that black sports coupe weaving in and out through spaces unfit even for an itsy-bitsy Geo Metro. As you watch this person cut off driver after driver you are amazed that they haven't caused or haven't been involved in some sort of collision. Your hands wring the steering wheel imagining your fingers clenching around this self-absorbed moron's neck muscles. Road rage, in all its ugliness, is rearing its head in your daily commute all thanks to the thoughtlessness of one reckless driver.

The worst part of dealing with these kinds of hyper-aggressive motorists is that they actually think they are good drivers. We all have friends and acquaintances that drive this way and instead of saying anything we sit in the passenger seat clutching the "oh-(expletive deleted)" handle for dear life.

Frustration behind the wheel is understandable when you pull up behind that Cadillac in the fast lane of the freeway going 45 miles per hour with the left turn signal on. But even when I accelerate past these geriatric motoring road blocks I don't feel it necessary to cut them off in the process. Lord knows that might give them a coronary.

Many fantasize mid road-rage of pulling their weapon of choice from under the passenger seat and unloading a clip or two into the obnoxious tailgater's passenger compartment. But you have to remember that it is merely this person's Freudian inadequacies rearing their ugly head that forces them to drive in such a reckless manner (and let's be honest-most obnoxious drivers are men). So don't resort to violence when dealing with these individuals. They deserve your pity and not your rage. Besides, the prisons are full enough as it is.

Another characteristic that often times feeds into this kind of thoughtless driving behavior is shortness of stature. Do us all a favor buddy and see a therapist so you can work out your Napoleon Complex with a trained professional. Just because you can't see over the steering wheel of your Ford F-350 with a 7 inch lift doesn't mean you have to prove you have highly attuned hand-eye coordination at 90 miles per hour.

So what sort of vehicles do these hyper-aggressive, arrogant, rude and totally self-unaware individuals favor? Here is a list of five vehicles that these people seem to favor. If you drive one of these cars and behave like a rational human being on the freeways and side streets you have my apologies. Even so, you might want to have a good long look in the mirror. That is, if you're tall enough to see yourself.

Full Size Pickup with Lift Kit-(example Ford F-350, Chevy Silverado HD)-We get it. You have a BIG truck. A REALLY big truck. How a person who is 5 foot 6 gets into the passenger compartment of these automotive hazards without a ladder, however, is beyond me. Also, when your truck is longer than most RVs and has the handling characteristics of a tractor you might want to slow it down a notch on the freeway there big guy.

Porsche Boxster-So you were either too cheap, not smart enough or too lame to save up for a 911. We realize you are very bitter that you didn't buy a real Porsche but that is no reason for you to obnoxiously tailgate each car in front of you. We get that you drive a Porsche but there are plenty of cars that cost $30,000 less that can still outrun you. Next time, buy a 911 and you will understand what it is like to drive a Porsche with real power, handling and engineering prowess. Double lameness points for a Boxster equipped with the tiptronic automatic transmission. There should be a law.

Used BMW M3-Usually covered in dents and driven by a person far too young to be able to afford the insurance-used M3s are often times favored by young men wearing backwards baseball caps. Is it also a law that any driver of a beat-up used M3 must wear Ed Hardy clothing at all times? Drivers of these vehicles have too much power at their disposal and not enough experience and skill to handle it.

Mitsubishi EVO-My, what a big spoiler you have. I suppose we should all be amazed that your shoddily built EVO is actually on the road and not at the dealership having a new clutch installed but must we watch you cut every other car off in traffic? This is another car favored by the backward baseball cap set. This makes me wonder how someone in the "backwards baseball cap set" can afford so many baseball caps AND a $30,000 car?

Chrysler Crossfire-Don't take it out on the rest of us because you spent so much money on a half baked Chrysler sports coupe with an interior made out of old Tootsie Pop wrappers. Ugly, cramped and powered by an engine Mercedes didn't want any more-the Crossfire is an automotive mongrel of the worst kind. For a little more money you could have actually bought a real Mercedes. Is that why you are such an angry driver?
