Big pickup trucks and SUVs are the worst. BMWs are close behind. There also seems to be something about Honda drivers, too.

Audi's are the jerk vehicle choice of Denver.


Subaru's are slow. Prius drivers are scary incompetent.


And, in Colorado, it's ANYTHING with a "Respect Life" or "Breast Cancer" license plate. Seriously. They're taken on voluntarily, but they're like a scarlet letter that says "BAD DRIVER!" If you see a Prius with a Respect Life or Breast Cancer license plate, give them a wide berth.

Is it me (not trying to stereotype but...) or that miniorities, Hispanic, African Americans drive Nissan Maximas, Nissan Altimas, Infinitis, older Toyotas with tinted windows and nice find?
The absolute worst in my neck of the woods are the women driving the huge Nissan Armadas and the mechanically identical (and massively overpriced) huge Infiniti SUVs. Apparently, it is required that those vehicles be driven by tiny women who have a cell phone perpetually glued to one of their ears. Of course, since those vehicles come equipped with Bluetooth technology, it is clear that those women lack the mental acuity to be able to figure out how to link their I-phones to the vehicle's Bluetooth capability.

In my neck of the woods, Audis (NOTE: NO APOSTROPHE!) and Volvos (NOTE: NO Apostrophe!) don't seem to be the major offenders, but because Volvos spend more time in the repair shop than on the road, that reality shouldn't be too surprising.

Hmmm...

I don't really proofread my comments. My phone has me apostrophe almost everything and I'm too lazy to fix it. As long as I get my point across then it doesn't matter to me .

I don't see Nissan Armadas in my area often. I've only seen a few but a majority of the SUVs in my area are Dodge Caravans, Honda Odysseys, Honda Pilots, and all of the BMW SUVs. I've noticed that nearly 80% of all SUV drivers are driven by women in my area and as bad as it sounds, they're their cell phones ALOT.

Dodge Caravans and Honda Odysseys are family vans, and are not SUVs.

As to, "they're their cell phones ALOT", what does that actually mean?
Are you attempting to tell us that "they're ON their cell phones a lot (TWO words!)"?

I'm not sure what it is, but Dodge trucks and anything Pontiac in my area are some of the most aggressive drivers.
No because that's a blanket statement and they are not true.

Are morons more attracted to some vehicles than others? Maybe, but it doesn't mean that ONLY idiots are driving those vehicles.

I think you know what I was trying to say. Why not change your name to "Grammar Nazi"?

If you are not aware that there is no such word, as "alot", then your education is...lacking.

Absolutely, my girlfriend and I have discussed this often. Lexus and Hyundai top the list for us. I have no idea as to why, but I've experienced a ton of aggressive behavior from drivers of these particular brands, especially when I lived in Florida. SUV's too. I know they aren't a "brand", but I see a disproportionate amount of folks acting like jerks while piloting them.
