Cars you hate to get stuck behind


oh, how timely ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

if you've ever spent some time in the bay area, your favorite list should include:

1. subaru outback. the ultimate marin/northbay "i don't know how to drive but i *need* a 4x4" car ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

2. any old volvo. yeah, they're safe. because people don't drive them faster than 30 mph! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

oh the joy ...

Old people and Prius's are the worst, in my area any way. Try going up hill and the person in front of you decides to baby the accelerator just to squeeze every ounce of mileage from those damn prius's, and then seeing them hit their brakes when the road gently curves. Mind you this is all up hill so you don't really need to hit the brakes when their already going 25mph. WTF is up with that.

There are scads of these (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) s in Southern California. They're all the same; with the boombox and the baseball cap turn sideways. I hate it when they go flying by me on the strait part of my favorite curvy road with that flatulent sounding exhaust. I'll give them a 30 second lead, and they're holding me up halfway through the 2 mile long twisty section! WTF. Yeah, you're REAL badass, whigger. (sent angry letters to my PM box) And that's in my Eclipse. I'll need to give them a minute in the teener! The guys in pickups that try to drive them like they're sportscars are the same way.
Other than that I hate following anything that's ugly as (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) . For example, anything that General Motors has come out with in the past 15 years.

The absolute worst is a catering truck, aka roach coach. Not only do they drive really slow so mamasita doesn't spill, they also dump soapy greasy water on the ground in front of you and it gets all over your car.
Second worst IMO is a VW van.

OK.
My list would be sooooo long that I had to reduce it to a common-denominator (you remember those from HS-right?):

Anything I can't see through, over or under and/or isn't doing the posted limit.

Here in So Cal., you know you are in trouble if you are stuck behind a car that is:

1. A Toyota Camry.
2. With something hanging from the rear view mirror (beads, a little red pagoda thingy, etc.).
3. Driven by someone whose head does not reach above the headrest.

I was just going to say Toyota Camry. I don't know what it is, but Camrys, especially new ones. Minivans can also be bad too.

Here in Connecticut you are in big trouble if you get behind a Buick or Cadillac with a padded roof and Florida plates..... on a winding road.


Here in Florida you are in big trouble if you get behind a Buick or Cadillac with a padded roof and Connecticut plates....on a flat stright road. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)



Sorry should have qualified my statement these are Connecticut people that go to Florida in the winter and have Florida plates on their cars so they won't have to pay the outrageous Connecticut motor vehicle tax. I'm sure they drive just a bad down there.

The riced out honda civics
Here in NM, there are at least 500,000 honda civics (most of them either white or black) with the poorly tinted purple windows, a huge fart can, and *pimp* wheels
That coupled with the thudding subwoofer and the driver that thinks his car is a race car, but can't drive through a corner any faster than 15
Oh, also, lowrider trucks (with less ground clearance than the teener and tiny, stupid wheels that stick out past the sides of the car by 6 inches)
Rant over now

Here in Alabama, land of perpetual deer season and no inspections, everywhere you look it is huge raised 4X4 trucks with airplane tires, CB (!) antennas, and gun racks. At least some of 'em have 200 lbs of mud on 'em too. Not the Caddies, of course.

Prius drivers are some of the worst fast lane hogs I have witnessed on my commute. Hybrid drivers in general seem to have an attitude. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

Volvo's. They are all slow. Perhaps it has to do with the demographics. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

I'll second anything deisel for the choking factor, and Volvos for the slowness factor.

They say Volvos are some of the safest cars- I think it's only because their drivers drive them so damn slow. I've seen Volvo drivers cause more near accidents than any other car. Too slow when merging on the freeway, not using blinkers, slowing down to 3mph to make a turn, and then making an overly wide turn at that.
