I also see a lot of women driving lifted trucks and SUV's here in northern California.

I posted this because a jagoff in a lifted truck cut me off yesterday which could have been a horrible accident. He was in the right lane and i was in the left. He was tailgating and decided to switch lanes and squeeze between me and the car in his lane. There was about an inch of space between bumpers and I was going about 45 mph +

Ofcorse after he pulled this move he mashed the gas doing like 100 to get out of site.

So the pic represents dudes driving big trucks that have obvious short comings. They are insecure about things so they think driving a big truck and pulling moves like that makes them feel bigger and a man.

There not all short either, some are fat asses, some are "Military Muscle" testo freaks, some are tweakers, and of course the majority of them are "Bro's"....the oldest hows it going in Brocabulary.."Dudee...Sup Brah!" "When was tha las time you went to Glamis to get your tires wet bro"?

Other Bro: "Sheet, like last weekend bruh!"...Main Bro: "Right on homie, did you bring the coors light, G"?

Other Bro: "Dude, Hell yeah I did bruh! Went to Dan's market before I shot over, it's in the front seat!".
Read the post and thought "sounds like the guys in San Diego" then I saw where the guy is from...
Yup, he's spot on. 100% dead-on accurate on this.

If you drive a lifted truck, you're compensating for something...unless you're specifically using it for a job...and they tend to be the biggest jerks on the roads here other than the M-class BMWs.

There's alway those dreaded whoop-de-do's ( speed bumps) at the local mall and grocery stores to conquer at 1 MPH.

Yep i just passed someone in the right and i was driving in the left lane at 45+ in a 45mph zone through town. Driving in the left lane because it's legal and the car was on my right. Maybe i should have bought a lifted truck so i can just drive over cars in the right lane

So lets just say i agree with your trolling argument and say yes i was hogging the left lane...Does that give him the right to endanger lives on the road?
