Worst cars to drive behind...

I was going to make this a poll, but I figure there are too many options, but what do you think is the worst kind of car to be stuck behind? Granted, UHauls and other big trucks probably are the worst, but I'm talking about every-day normal cars.

I gotta go with the Subaru station wagons and Volvo station wagons being a close second. It doesn't matter where I am, where I'm driving, but I'm going nowhere fast if I'm stuck behind one of these.

So, how about you?

Nothing worse than being on a motorcycle stuck behind a livestock hauler.

Around here, pretty much any car because it's driven by some *ss who's on a cel phone and therefore has lost any common sense or knowledge of how to actually drive.

or the ones that are doing 62 in the passing lane, and just as you go to change lanes to juke past him; the guy two lanes over decides that your turn signal means he has to try to take the same space you are going for because those blinky lights are so confusing..

Here's my mental checklist when pulling up to a stoplight and deciding which car to get behind.

NO:
- if you can't see the driver's head over the seat.
- any mercedes, Lexus
- a classic car
- anything with duct tape
- delivery truck


Yes:
- if a kid is driving it
- if there's a NASCAR sticker
- BMW sedan, Audi TT, other sports cars

Anything bigger than my car, especially if it has tinted windows. I like to be able to see what's going on in front of me.

The kids and I play a game. Whenever we see someone driving crazy, we take bets on whether they're on a cell phone or not. Most times they are! :roll:

The only thing that bugs me more than the actual fact they are on the cel phone, is the fact that they are SO oblivious, they never even register the colorful words and hand motions I direct toward them.

Exactly!!!! It's not nearly as satisfying.

Though laying on the horn usually snaps them out of their little world. 'Course that usually scares them and makes them swerve into another lane, too.

I still say every woman between the age of 16 and 35 should be given a choice:
A CELL PHONE or a DRIVER'S LICENSE!

tourists in Orlando. I've seen THREEminivans stop in the left lane and swerve to the right lane - 3 lanes away just so they're not late for Mickey Mouse. Tourists s***.
