I like to have a bumper or fender hanging off the car. It seems to bring out the caution in the good drivers...

I just think it's a fugly car but to each their own. I also agree that I've seen the majority of dangerously aggressive driving coming from pickup drivers.

Agressive and/or careless. When my car was wrecked by pickup trucks it was carelessness for the most part.

Pickups are a close second in the nuisance category for him.

My husband says the same thing about Honda CR-Vs. Its a self-fulfilling prophecy. As soon as he said it, I started noticing all kinds of Honda CR-Vs and stupid/bad driving.

Yup. I was driving on Glenwood this afternoon and a ~2000 Honda Accord with its left tail light smashed in and its left rear bumper hanging off almost side swiped a Honda Pilot in front of me, if it weren't for the Pilot's quick move into the left turn lane. I gave that Accord all the room in the world in front of me.
