What is it with some drivers?!

People who think just because they are going straight and I am going left means they have the right of way at a stop sign piss me off.

He didn't have his signal light on. He did after he flipped me off, though. Too many people are using signal lights as a recommendation, not a requirement.

I definatly see where you are coming from and its always good to be nice to other drivers, but when it comes down to it....

Somewhere in a drivers manual i read a while back (NY or NJ?) it states that when on a divided highway in the right lane you should NEVER alter your speed when traffic is merging. It simply confuses the merging driver, they dont really know what you are doing so they stop look....wait...then realise you are trying to let them in then they go. You should keep your speed steady which lets them plan on where you are going to be, which makes it easier for them to merge.

Totally makes sence when you think about it. If you brake you slow down the whole lane, disrupting the whole highway whereas if you stay stead and they just wait for an opening the highway is not disrupted.

Just my 5 cents =)

And I can hear them trying to snap back but you end up saying something that makes their head explode.

It's quite a treat to hear.

ya'll need to drive around in texas on a few loops in dallas... ediots are armed and dangerous. so we moved in the country... yea, their still here too! we have an auto sales & auto parts store co., and a s-load of cars. im a different one everyday. they dont mess with me in the s500, or the new H2 hummer. its funny how your treated by what you drive. if im in the great 1993 chevy W/T work truck (beater, but you cant blow a 4.3, has 328,000 miles on it) they always say do you need some help...the S500 benz always get a thumbs up from parrellel drivers. but the hummer, they either stare and pass or blow by you and cut hard (usually a treehugger). i was at wally-world cutting through the bush and compost lane and a JACKED UP 1/2 dodge pick up, (we callem, Dodgers) was in my space, sucked up close to my rear bumper. we are in line at the stop sign. i stop, and he punches it and does an a.j. foyt to the right and passes me and zooooomes left to turn just to get in front of me. i flagged him at the next stop and motioned come on lets get to the fire! the 2 dodger babies flipped me off. so i just HUMMERED behind them to next redlight .(only five in our town). ALL that effort for them not to gain any ground! goobers

Being a Dallas boy myself, I can tell you that I am treated WAY different in my H2 than I was in my jacked up Tahoe. I got nothing but thumbs up and smiles from the latino women. I was let into traffic and treated as well as you can be in a big city. Of course every little 2 seat sports car cut me off, but you get used to that.

Now, in the H2, I get constantly abused. I get flipped off every day, cut off by jeeps, and every tree hugging yellow-backed communist-type seems to want to talk to me "about the environment". Some bimbo even told me she wished I was dead.

I even let myself get really angry in front of my 12 year old daughter this last weekend when some fat, stupid, ugly, inbred biatch had the gall to make the 2 inch pecker sign at me. Needless to say, Her passenger seat sitting husband was a little miffed at me before we parted ways. I suspect she made his life unbearable after that.

I don't know what the answer is, but if someone figures it out, let me know.

Maybe I'll just keep a picture of my big 9 inch around in case some chick wants to see it.

9 inch suspension lift I want that is....

It is funny what people will say or "sign" but it is all jealousy, either of your financial situatuion or your courage and freedom to make your own choices.

Go to the Porsche forums. There are so many posts from people driving an older $25,000 or less Boxster getting grief from people driving a +$35,000 SUV etc. "Oh I am glad the economy is going so well for you " or "It must be nice to have all your money". It is the same thing. Jealous or envious of your decision(s).

I just smile and wave back when people do stupid **** then I just tail gate more and continue waving and just continue to watch the show. The madder they get the more I smile and wave.

I am flattered that since purchasing the Hummer that so many people are concerned with the size of my penis, but I still find it disturbing at times.

I am really surprised that Texas owners are getting so much flak. I do not know why, and I do not mean it in a bad way, but I thought that they would be more open-minded about a vehicle like the Hummer. I guess because of the oil, and because "everything is bigger in Texas." I would expect that sort of behaviour in California, Colorado, or Washington, but not Texas. If I ever manage to get down there, I'm going to need someone to watch my back.

Sometimes I'll gesture like I'm blowing them a kiss. That really brings the raaaahr!

hehe! That reminds me of the time I was driving with some friends and someone decided to be a dink and honk at us because I waited too long or was going too slow, I cannot remember exactly, but as the person sped by, staring at us, my friend rolled down the window and made blowjob motions at the guy. That really freaked him out. I thought it was hilarious.

I know the Foxes have had some run ins here in Texas, but like Phil, I haven't had a single negative comment on my truck. I've been cut off in traffic now and then, but I don't think it was targeted at me - the idiot usually went on to cut off other people as well.

So not ALL of Texas is bad. I wouldn't go near Austin, tho.

I'll keep that in mind when I make my way there. It's good to know it's not a widespread issue.
