The road
I've been doing a lot of driving lately, what with the cheap price of gasoline, how could I not? Back and forth to my parents, househunting, & most recently the hour and a half drive back from the children's museum in Glenview today. Stop and go traffic will give one time to ponder, ponder, ponder, what is wrong with people?
So I give you my list, painstakenly researched, completely biased, & utterly true. Perhaps you drive one of these cars? Well, of course, there are exceptions to every rule. You may consider yourself the exception. But most likely, you should just be a better driver.
Car & Driver Magazine's (okay Laura's) List of the worst-offending drivers:
1. BMW- far and away, always and forever cutting me off. Never the hand wave. Really rude driving here.
2. Teal cars- I've blogged about this in my old blog, (sorry, I can't link to it directly) but people in teal colored autos are just crazy! Doesn't matter which make, but double thumbs down points if it's a Cavalier.
3. Porsche SUV- don't know what they are called, but there are a plethora of them in our neighborhood and they ALL suck. Bastards.
4. "Souped up" Honda Civics- with spoilers. And megabass. It's a Honda doofus. I don't know if you've checked lately, but the Civic's a sensible car, not a drag racer. I don't care how many stripes you put on the side.
5. Former cop cars- usually Crown Victorias. Just because your car used to be used in high speed chases does not mean you should drive like you are still in hot pursuit.
6. Cabs- All of them, but particularly minivan cabs or ones that are blasting lite jazz for some reason.
7. Any car with a Baby Phat cat logo, Calvin pissing on anything, or Mary of Guadalupe emblazoned on it.
8. Ford Focus (Foci?)- Sorry, but it's true. I haven't noticed it in the wagon model, however.
9. Pickup trucks piled more than 3 feet high with scrap metal. You know, the ones that make you start humming the Sanford & Son theme song and are always parked in your alley in front of your garage spot.
10. Cars with a trash bag in place of one of the windows. You know the bag has been there a while because it's all tattered from the wind and dirty. But I can hardly blame them, I mean, they can't see out of their window!
Ah, whew. Had to get that off my chest. Please people, let's get serious here. Copies of Rules of the Road are available at any DMV if you need to brush up. Like my Dad always said, driving a vehicle is a privilege, not a right. And yes, he did always say "vehicle".

Can I add one? People driving with a spare on the highway (especially when they pass the first available exit - that's how you know they're an idiot.)
Oh, I did also forget the guy driving with a mattress on the highway. Flap, flap, flap, flap, flap...
You're not alone on the BMW folks. The biggest word (font size) on this page indicates the property most associated with BMW.
