People that drive Volvos are assholes

Well, most of them anyway. Assholes also drive Honda Odyssey minivans. BMW is another one in that category.

Every time I am in traffic and someone cuts me off, pulls out in front of me, takes a parking space I was getting ready to pull into or rides 2 mm off my rear bumper it is usually one of these three makes of cars.

Mik sweetie, I won't hold it against you...unless you cut me off, pull out in front of me, take my parking space or ride my bumper.

(I also said "most", not "all." That's my escape clause.)

Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments
and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism.

We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences.

Surely nothing compared to Hummer owners. No offense to Crash, who I don't believe is an a-hole, but does anybody not have an immediate gut reaction that Hummer owners are a-holes?
As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

Out here in AZ, Hummers are usually drive by real estate agents. You fill in the blanks.

I used to drive a Volvo.

And I used to cut people off. A lot of people.

I still do. But now I do it with my Forester.

Plays - you need to go buy yourself an old Chevy 1/2 ton pickup truck. Then you just stop whenever you feel the need to - Volvo or BMW on your back bumper or not.

Have you seen what it costs to repair a BMW bumper lately...................:rolleyes2: (not to mention an airbag or two).

Actually, the ones on the road that really piss me off are the ones who drive exactly the speed limit, make full, complete stops at all lights and stopsigns, and slow down to 5mph near every single pedestrian crosswalk. I'll take reckless assholes who don't get in my way much over the overcautious assholes who deserve to be rear-ended any day.

There was an old adage I heard years ago that goes something like:

"Volvos...

Designed by Engineers...

Built by Craftsman...

Driven by Pricks."

I'll share that with my neighbor's son who got hit by a car in a crosswalk before Thanksgiving. Of course, only if he comes out of the coma.

Had to go the the bank today. As I'm leaving the bank, a Volvo pulled out directly in front of me. The young woman driving it never bothered to look, but instead just pulled right out, drove about 50 yards and turned left, without ever giving a signal.

Maybe it's the implied sense of entitlement these drivers send out that irritates me so much.

On second thought, nope it's that, PLUS the reckless driving habits.

Maybe we need a poll on this topic. I have my own list and Volvos and BMWs don't figure very prominently on it. This was not always true. In Sydney, Australia, Volvos had a general reputation as being driven by fast, arrogant drivers. In fact, I remember one day when the newspaper reported a crash on the Harbour Bridge involving two Volvos both changing lanes at once after overtaking another car on opposite sides and smashing into each other. The paper also reported an increased delay due to other drivers slowing down to look, jeer, and applaud the accident.

The top of my list includes the cars with the DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) special order plates. IMNHO, the idiots who buy these plates do so for the same reason that people put the FOP or Local Sheriffs stickers on their cars - in hopes of getting a pass from law enforcement while driving like a bat out of hell.

Last Saturday, I passed one of these (attached to a Dodge Viper) which had managed to spin out and smash both the front and back of the vehicle on a concrete retaining wall on a freeway. It made my day; I smiled the whole way home.

Where do you do most of your driving?

Around here, if you're going exactly the speed limit, you're being a huge hazard on the road. The norm is 70 mph in a 55, and by not going with the flow of traffic you're much more apt to get hit.

My last comment was hyperbole, but in general I believe it's much safer (and less aggrivating to others) to go with the flow of traffic than to adhere to any and all traffic laws.
