Cars that "GRIND YOUR GEARS" Let's Rant! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

vividracing · 03-06-2014, 12:52 PM

So, on your daily commute, is there a certain car that just annoys the hell out of you driving all insane? Or is there that one car that has the same type of a-hole driver no matter where you go? The gloves are off. Post that type of car here and let's rant.

For me it's this... The Dodge Charger

Don't get me wrong, I think the RT version and the new Chrysler 300 are great

but usually it's the V6 base models that annoy me. 4 doors and convenient for family, but to me, I think the power overwhelms the driver so much that they think they can dominate the local traffic weaving in and out. The mostly don't give a *uck about right of ways and the rules of the road.

Not saying that all Charger drivers are like this, but usually the ones I see.

You can defend or agree. How about the rest of you? What is the car that really grinds your gears?

That wasn't suppose to be quoted but I don't know how to delete the first post.

Ironically I want that decal

If a vehicle was made with chopsticks, I'd imagine people would pay more. Because that's not a normal skill.

I should make the opposite.

Seems that pretty much anyone driving a Camry or Corolla, at least around here, is unaware that the gas pedal exists.

These morons merging onto the highway at less than half the posted speed are going to get me killed one day.

Good etiquette: I just move over to the next lane if its available

For me, oddly, it's the following who tend to be douchey drivers:

Full-size SUVs (Ford Explorers seem to be the worst)
Pickup trucks (seem to be a similar demographic to the above)
Taxis (you'd think someone who drives for a living wouldn't suck so bad - you'd be wrong)
Benz drivers (More often than not, these are Camry drivers, but with money)

I don't mind slow drivers - just do what you're doing in any lane but the fast lane (and drive with the flow of traffic)

no. i'm the person merging in a Corolla..... it takes forever to reach the speed limit, that's why i floor it at the beginning of the merge
if i'm on the highway, i move over, which is what you're supposed to do
