link between D-bag drivers and Nissan products? - JB3 - 10-04-2013
specifically the Altima and Maxima models, always less than 5-10 years old.
It seems like 2 3rds of the time some A-hole is swerving in and out of traffic, cutting people off, and tailgating, its someone in a maxima/altima.
wondering if this is a local situation, or a national condition.

I think the only people driving these cars tend to be younger and immature teens-early twenty's and usually pregnant. Usually because there parents bought if for them. And they have absolutely no scene of the value of a dollar or an honest days work.

the drivers that piss me off the most are Toyota Sequoia drivers. I haven't seen many d-bag Nissan drivers in my area, but Sequoia drivers hog the road and will merge into your lane, regardless of where you are. Many times I almost got shoved into the median wall because of d-bag Sequoia drivers.

Oh, Fresno is known for a number of terrible things related to drivers, the main two being people who run stop lights and drunks on the road. No joke, probably see a person run a light about half the time I'm stopped at them, including bus drivers, police, garbage trucks, etc.
The thing that pisses me off most though is this scenario:
- need to turn left
- two left turn lanes
- I'm in the farthest left of the two
- green light
- half way through the turn rich grandma driving an SUV in the the other lane that is also turning left decides she needs to be in the lane I am currently occupying, forcing me to almost crash into the median, other cars, her car, etc, then gives me a very angry pissed off look for honking at her and yelling obscenities.
Usually happens about once every two weeks, and always at the same corner. I'm planning on adding some air horns from an old fiat so I can hopefully make people soil themselves

A few years back when the 3.5 Altima was still considered hot shit, I passed a kid driving with his girlfriend on my daily interstate commute home. Traffic is usually light for my commute so I tend to set the cruise at about 81 or 82. For whatever reason the kid got all racy on me, and, for whatever reason, I drove a sleepy 400hp euro sedan. I was curious about how the car could move, so I played along. The kid kept coming back for more every time I walked him, which was about 4 5 second pulls that put buslengths on him. The poor thing wouldn't make eye contact or anything to break the tension, he just held the wheel in a deathgrip as if horsepower could be squeezed from his wal-mart steering wheel cover. Or maybe he believed that once his car hit a certain speed, his car would turn into Knightrider's car and grow a turbo and then I'd see.

Agreed, nissans move through space in the most annoying of ways. I often see the versa as my arch nemesis.

I see all other vehicles as my nemesis, although my greatest nemesis would have to be the overloaded (14 passengers) Astro van, that speedily pulls out in front of me while I'm cruising a good 60-65 out in the country, then drives 43. Some day I will have a giant pipe bumper that surrounds the entire car, with railroad spikes welded to it, and I will ram all of them into oblivion

Air horns, 100w high beams and strategically aimed windshield wipers are your friend. Oh yeah, don't forget smoke screen mode, you are driving a diesel after all. That said I find LA drivers far less annoying than Bay Area or Seattle drivers.
