Bay area driving:

1. Any car driven by an Indian. They pick their noses with great frequency and great intensity. This seems to be far more popular than talking on a cell phone while driving or following the rules of the road. They may even try to cross two lanes to get to a turn lane, 150-200 ft from the intersection. This is just referring to the women.

2. BMW drivers. They're always in a hurry to get to the next repair shop and always seem to have an attitude (because of the maintenance costs).

3. Prius drivers. They're always driving slowly, puttering along while life passes them by. So smug and content in feeling that they are helping the environment, saving money and gas, and driving around in one of the ugliest cars ever made.

4. Toyota and Honda drivers. These cars seem to clutter up the roadways here with nerds, clones, and robots. Expressionless and void of emotion, the drivers of these vehicles look alike, talk alike, and just plain bore the living hell out of anyone who values pizzazz.

5. Any moron with his bass music turned on loud. The road is full of these Neanderthals.

1. Any Toyota. Whenever I see a Toyota it is always driven by an Indian doing 20 below the speed limit.

2. Honda CRV. For some reason, this seems to be the vehicle of choice for Asian families who don't know how to drive.

Not all, but a noticeable number of Corvette drivers end up just poking along at or below the speed limit. This has been the case for quite a while now.

What's up with that?!? Might as well have just bought a Prius if that's how you're going to drive...

My top three at the moment:

BMW drivers, esp if they have NJ plates

Toyota Camry and Toyota Corolla - needs to be banned from all freeways for just sitting in the middle or far lane completely oblivious to the fact they are only going about 55 and causing an obstruction

That's probably because Corvette badges (and Mustang badges when you get down to it) are basically big flashing "Pull me over please!" signs.

1. BMW drivers - They are obnoxious and think they are greater than anyone else. They think their s@#t don't stink and act as if their bimmers were a Rolls Royce. They feel privileged and entitled to the entire US highway system for themselves. They own very little else, most of their paycheck goes towards the lease payments. They live the present and tomorrow is not even on their minds. Most make 10-12 bucks an hour and still live with mom and dad.

2. lifted pick-up drivers - They think they are superior and own the road. They have macho attitudes with little brains or intellectuality. They also feel that they are entitled to the entire US highway system simply because they are larger than all of the plastic socialist look-a-like cars built today. They are proud of their front confederate flag license plate and don't tread on me bumper sticker. They see every one that doesn't drive a lifted pick-up as a Prius driver.

3. Honda Civic drivers - They seriously think they are professional race car drivers driving race cars. It takes more than cutting springs and adding a K&N air filter and garbage after market auto parts store exhaust system to win a Formula 1 race. They watch to many Fast and the Furious movies and buy into the hype. They are aspiring to jump into BMW, Acura or Infiniti bandwagon.

4. Toyota Prius, Honda Odyssey & some Honda CR-V's drivers - They are always in another world completely oblivious to what is actually going on on the road. They are in a daze, they just float in and out of lanes. They are drones and are proud of their coexist bumper stickers and family stick figure decals.

5. Infiniti & Acura drivers - They have the same mindset as the BMW drivers but are even more out of touch with reality. They are more or less a mix between the BMW owners and Civic owners.
