As much as I secretly wanna say Prius drivers, the real ones are the ones under the category Badge Whore Douche. This ego that the badge on your car makes you "kings" of the road is just hilarious. Like it describes, a good number of them are in mountains of debt because they want to showboat high-end stuff and every single dollar made from work goes to owed payment leaving nothing left.

That dashcam looked like it had either.. 5-10mm for focal range. BMW guy definitely had a lot of space behind him. If the mazda was actually tailgating him it would fill about 3/4ths of the camera.

Probably whatever car this guy drives.

Elusive and, some say, mythical, the $30,000 millionaire (Homo Sapiens Douchebagus) is a creature of legend among the denizens of Dallas nightlife. Used frequently as a term of derision, the $30,000 millionaire is often referenced but rarely captured because it is a master of camouflage: $30,000 millionaires live above their means, usually with the aid of multiple credit cards and sympathetic family units, spending more money than they make on items such as leased luxury cars, designer clothing and $14 drinks.

Its a pretty good read...Im sure Dallas isn't the only place for these, but they are funny to watch...

Ughhhh $14 drinks. Goddamn. $8 Gin and tonics make me cringe, I don't know what I'd do if it was $14.

Ive been to some of these places...with jeans and an army hoodie, pull up in my 73 Charger, setting off all their car alarms, and just watch people look in disgust....the wait staff at some of these places give pretty good discount for just not being a douche like most in there

It looked to me like a wide angle lens which would do the opposite but I have no knowledge of dashcam's and what lenses are normally supplied.

My dear friend. I agree with you on wide angle. 5-10 would be most likely considered... ultra wide angle.

Saturn Ion Redline

Ive met 3 guys that owned them.... they are all complete douchebags. The one I know pretty well as he works where I do. Him and his BOIZ(not shitting you they have a lil club called ION BOIZ) they just go driving around town like asshats all the time. If you pull up next to them in anything sporty looking... they will 100% "race" you off the line and then mark it up in there KLUB KILL BOOK.

Mercedes, Toyota, BMW and Lexus so far. I've personally witnessed a huge amount of drivers of all four brands drive like total jerkoffs, poking along at 10 mph then the road goes to four lanes and whoosh they are off trying to race people who are attempting to pass them. Most of the Mustang drivers are racing imaginary opponents, everytime I see a Mustang GT the person driving is hauling ass showing off to whoever can see them. I love the sound of a V8 but some people ruin it,

Crown Vic police interceptor with the spotlight still mounted on the side-view mirror to scare other motorists.

Does anyone else find it funny that the people driving these things graduated from sitting in the back of a Crown Vic to driving one? It's always some lowlife in the driver's seat, bullying people out of his way on the road.
