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.

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.
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
-1982 300D Turbo, 280k miles, ALDA apparently maxxed, fram 8038, 12 lbs boost, non-egr manifolds, W/M injection, 4 brake light mod, Gen II w126 front rotors/calipers, 4-speed swap
In the works: A/W IC, adjust pump, turbo rebuild (w/60 trim comp wheel)
-1980 300SD, 110k, project car. Goal is to get it lookin' like it did on the showroom floor (body and interior wise, not necessarily under the hood )

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.

10-07-2013, 07:11 PM #6A 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.

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
