trucks, SUV’s, and jeeps = reckless driving even when it’s SNOWING outside
BIG SUV’s, like the Escalade = I think Freud would have a lot to say about this
tricked out anything, including Mustangs, Civics, Eclipses, and Corollas = spent all their money on the car, leaving nothing left for higher education. What a waste.
Cars with jesus fish and rapture propaganda on them I have noticed that are a) always the crappiest car around b) slowest driver c) dented.
Late-model Jetta or Passat - Change lanes 4 times every 10 meters.
Large SUVs (Navigator, Suburban, Expedition) - Has not yet figured out how to use turn signals.
Audi or Mercedes coupes - Missed the look-first lesson in the Right Turn on Red class.
Big, old sport models (Monte Carlo, Maverick) - Honks at you at red light
I have to agree on this one, most wholeheartedly.
You know the old joke about the difference between a BMW and a porcupine? (with the porcupine, the pricks are on the OUTSIDE) - well, I’ve never once seen a BMW driver on the road that doesn’t live up to that joke.
I also have to say that I’ve had bad experiences with the Camaro/Firebird family of fine automobiles as well. I always figure on one of two kinds of drivers - either a mullet wearing, marlboro smoking blod redneck dude with a six pack in the passenger’s seat; or a 6’6" 260 pound testosterone poisoned musles boy with a crew cut and a trophy babe in the passenger’s seat. In either case, bad news to screw around with.
Lincoln Continentals or Caddies with Washington plates:
Drivers, usually old, think they own the fast lane at 65 mph.
Living in southern Oregon, I used to think it was because we were seven hours south of Seattle, and the drivers were somewhat comatose by Grants Pass. But I’ve seen this even when driving in Portland, so that doesn’t excuse it.
I’ve come to think that the drivers think they’re “speed monitors” and that they’re saving lives, while we all pass them in the slow lane.
Hehe, just likw my friend’s mom’s Saturn. 
For some reason, I get challenged to street race all the time. I mean, I know that El Caminos (I’m the proud owner of a 1979 Elky) are one of the premiere muscle cars (a Chevelle with a bed), but can’t you morons pulling up to me and revving hear that my cars motor is extremely tired? I mean, aside from all the clacking and clicking of the heat risers and exhaust, the poor idle, and the exhaust leaks, you’d think they would know my car is not exactly racing material!
Rice rockets: suicidal street racers who basically strap themselves into a plastic bucket capable over going over 100 MPH.
Mercedes, BMW, Lexus: Typical middle aged rich guy, or child of rich people.
Any super sports car: Extremely rich person who isn’t going to use all the power at a proper race track, or kids going for a joy ride.
Pickup trucks = fast, close and weaving from lane to lane in order to get to the next traffic lights one car further ahead.
Volvos = driver is aggressive and rude because they couldn’t afford a jag or lexus
The first thing I check on an econo-box that I’m about to pass is the exhaust tip. If its oversized I except asshole 16 year old with issues. There are about 20 other signs that a car has been “riced” but that is usually one of the first things done. The more “ricer” options a car has, the more disposable income the driver has and the more likely he will try to not let me pass him. They succeed most of the time, because I almost always refuse to top 100mph on the freeway. Other stereotyped cars:
The bumper sticker laden cars - whether they are “have you shot your deer today” or “I heart poodles” or “PRO-CHOICE”, they all tend to drive like idiots and the more bumper stickers the bigger idiot.
Rusty late 70’s American iron - they really don’t care what happens to their cars and they drive like it
110lb woman in a 4 ton SUV - other than not being able to see around them, they are not that annoying on the road. At least not at a higher percentage than everybody else. Its when these petite women try to park their behemoths is when I get pissed. Sure some assholes take up 2 spots on purpose so you wont door ding their beautiful new *V6 Camaro, but the SUV driver often does it on accident. The bigger the truck/SUV the worse the parking. If you can’t park the thing properly, park in the back and walk.
*I’ve wanted to start a rant about V6 Camaro’s, Firebird’s and Rustang’s. Why do people buy these? Especially so-called “men”. If you are going to buy a cheaply made, rear wheel drive turd, that rides like a tank at least pay for the WHOLE F-BOMBING REASON THE CAR IS SOLD IN THE FIRST PLACE!! And that isn’t its “style”. Its “style” is American made V8 push-rod power. You sir, are a poser.
I know, weak rant.
I’m a vehicularist although I try not to be.
I know that the guy driving the suped up Honda with the huge noisy exhaust could be a responsible and courteous driver with a disdain for street racing…
I know that the person driving the Volvo may not be the safety concious and courteous person I believe them to be…
The people in the Cadillac may not be old but since I can’t see them below the steering wheel I may never find this out…
I know that the people in the minivan may not be completely stressed out from delivering kids, running rrands, and going to work… that could just be me.
I have really noticed the honking thing since we started driving a mini-van… if you don’t jump on the gas the second the light turns green people start honking… especially if they’re driving a Camaro… 
A few years ago my sister and I both noticed that a lot of people who drove Isuzu Troopers and Mitsubushi Monteros (boxy-looking SUV-style vehicles) had a tendency to be rude and impatient. I don’t see very many of them being driven around anymore, so I can’t really say if this still holds true.
Camaro - mullets and doublewides.
Lots of religious stickers - I don’t have to watch the road, God’s protecting me.
Porsche - Spoiled kid driving her birthday gift from daddy.
In Japan:
Low-rider with high-power stereo playing rap - American gangsta-wannabe who’s 5’3", weighs 110lbs. sopping wet and still lives with his mother
Toyota President - politician/yakuza boss
Taxi - middle manager who got laid off when the economy tanked
I only sterotype when I see a crappy. 80’s car, usually Japenese, with a ton of decals, chrome wheels, fifty bazillion watts of bass, and small, neon lights on it. I am usually right in thinknig that they are jerks who spend all of their money on their car for no reason, and are probably not that smart.
Riced-out Japanese subcompact - why, oh why do they have to tailgate me in the far right hand lane of an expressway, when I’m already driving 75 in a 55? White kid, sitting low, white bacseball cap, looks like he’s got some 'tude.
Honda Accord (white) - “Yes please, it is most very much nicer than the Contessa that I drove back home very muchly. I am most very much liking living in your Amherst New York.”
Handicapped plates - Can do just about anything on the road, usually slowly, but it would be wrong for you to get upset at them. You know …
Nissan Xterra - Late twentysomething female with a fleece jacket, little makeup, and a ponytail pulled through the back of her cloth baseball cap.
Subaru Outback - Almost always you’ll find two very serious, plain-looking women with short hair in the front seat.
Chevrolet Monte Carlo - “Hey, Vito? Yo … Vito! YO! Can you believe they closed Chess King? Yo!”
Volvo (any model) - New England native, on their way to the local Unitarian Universalist church.
Volkswagen Jetta - Look, Jetta driver, I’m flattered that you find me interesting to look at, but you’ll notice that I don’t have a rainbow sticker on my car. Sorry …
Any car with Frontiera Chihuahua plates - Uhhh, it’s miles per hour, not kilometers. Usually rare to see such a car without a good-sized dent in every body panel.
Any pickup truck with a metal saddle box - what the Camaro driver gets after he gets a job. Down south, such a truck will also have a name, mounted on the top of the front window.
Not really a stereotype, but I’ve come to expect Volvo drivers to be of one or two extremes - 1) The cautious person who researched for the safest automobile and therefore drives very, shall we say carefully, or 2) The asshole who knows they’ll probalby survive the crash because they’re in a Volvo and therefore drives very un-carefully.
Hey elmwood, I gotta totally agree with you on the handicap thing. Whenever I come up behind a car with one of those little things dangling off the rear view mirror, I know I’m in for a long, slow, painful ride.
I’m in LA, so…
Gardening trucks - If I see an old, beat up pick-up tuck with lawnmower and a few workers in the bed, I know these guys are going to be taking their sweet time. Of course I’d simply go around them, but I have to wait until the plume of exhaust has dissipated in order to actually see the road!
Taxi cabs - If I’m anywhere near a taxi, I just say “fuck it” and pull over because you’re never going to win that contest! These guys are gonna go wherever they want to go and do whatever they want to do, regardless of where you are or what you’re doing… Hey, I guess you want to get into my lane now. No, don’t worry about it - I’ll just make way for you by driving up on the shoulder."
(Similar to the Taxi Cab) ** Any commercial/company vehicle** - Usually, it’s a big, giant van and the driver could care less because hey, it’s not his car! Their usually looking for an address or something and aren’t real sure where they’re at… so of course, they’re going nice and slow. To top it off, their driving at a very inconsistent speed, so it really adds to the challenge of navigating around them. Hey Mr. Delivery guy, don’t worry about anyone else who might be sharing the road with you since the world only exists in the direction you’re looking.
Of course, this wouldn’t be a “drivers suck” rant without mentioning everyone’s favorite… the SUV - OK, my favorite scenario: I’m at a red light, trying to make a right turn. I’m in the correct spot for making a “right on a red” (I’m not sticking out too far and I’m behind the lines for the crosswalk) and looking to my left at the on-coming traffic, when out of nowhere, a GIGANTIC SUV pulls up next to me and blocks my view! Thanks lady. I know that not only do you have to be in front of everyone else on the road, but now you can’t stand to be a few inches behind a stationary car for a few seconds. I mean, you’re the first car at a red light - you’ve won the race! Congratulations! Game over! But no, that’s not good enough for you. Because I’m just waiting to turn right (and am now slightly in front of you) you feel less superior or something - so you creep out and block my view. So now, I have to either pull out further into traffic so I can look around you (because if you were a regular-sized car, I could just look through your windows at the traffic) or I’ll just have to wait for the light to change to green - even though there’s probably no cars coming and I could’ve been on my way a long time ago.
Slight hijack here, but does anyone else drive really early in the morning?? I’m talkin’ like 5:00am. Well, if you do and you drive on the street (which at 5 in the morning, is much different than driving on the freeway), have you noticed all the scary cars that are out at that time of the morning? Mostly, I see a lot of really old, beat up trailers, or Winnebegos (sp?) or campers. What’s their deal? They’re usually really dirty and rusted and the windows are all smeared up with… some sort of gook. Anyway, these things just kinda creep along at like 5-10 miles an hour seemingly with no place to go… and I can only imagine what sort of HORRORS are going on inside. Anyway, they pretty much creep me out. Anyone else see theses things???
Poor college students don’t have cars, let alone the dough to spend on stupid 4 inch chromed mufflers and pansy-ass spoilers. It would be the punks with rich parents driving those.
I forgot this one:
White Van - child molestor, drug dealer or serial killer.
I have nothing against white vans, but it seems that whenever there’s a public scare over something, the news faces will inevitably say “there have been reports of a white van where the incident occurred.” 99% of the time, it’s a false lead.
SUV – why do people buy cars they can’t park much less drive?
School Bus, long wheelbase driven by amatures – Idots! Lean this: the rear wheels lazily follow the front wheels.
I hate driving behind minivans or oldsmobiles or buicks. In my experience, the drivers of these vehicles tend to be old, very cautious with the gas pedal, and most of the time not able to see over the steering wheel.
I hate driving in front of SUVs. Most drivers of SUVs will tailgate me, or try to illegially pass me. Meaning that for them to not sideswipe my tiny sundace into oblivion, I have to slam on the brakes and they cut on by. Grrr.
