I wonder if the car was reg'd and insured under his parents. Somebody is gonna lose their house!

Around here, I'd say that the most common car I see people driving like jerks in would be a Tesla Model Y but it's probably because they are fast and there are just so darn many of them on the road. Of course, there are plenty of people driving them courteously as well.

Really not any make of car in general, impatient and/or aggressive drivers can be in anything. I was thinking about this thread and the make of car I see people driving aggressively the least might be Porsche, oddly enough.

the problem ones here are any of Dodge's current "hot rods" and every M BMW.

when I was stationed in Germany it was always the Audis that would blow by you driving on the autobahn. Even when driving 130mph I could count on some Audis passing.

That's funny I thought it was just me. Altima drivers around here for some odd reason, drive like complete Aholes.

Noticed that also.
Very very rare to see one driving fast or aggressively. Most I see are driving on the conservative side. Almost like "Hey look at what I'm driving.."

OMG Nissan people.....this thing will hit PARF so fast if we go down that road. Agree with the Altima focus on this as well. When i see Titans i just think 'oh that poor guy' but when i see an Altima i think 'crap better be careful not to be stuck behind this jackass. Don't want to be late and have to smell skunk for the next 20 miles.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.

Talking with a friend the other day...his son just bought a used Audi, I forget the model number, but it's an older one.

They've been really watching for cell phone use here and he was checking his texts and was pulled over and ticketed. He said the fine was $100

I think that amount is too low, but I didn't tell him that.

Spontaneous and unintended acceleration. It almost put Audi out of business...until they proved it was 'just old people driving'
