Anyone ever notice that these "dudes" seam to be intimidated by lifted jeeps? Dunno if it's just where I live but it seams like once a month someone in a pickup/fullsize sees my jeep and then floors the engine/takes off to either try to impress me or say "I rock". I never understood it. One that stands out in my mind is I was at a convenience store with my bud grabbing a coffee. We get in the jeep (3" 31's so small lift) and start it and start changing the radio to a song and this dude comes out, glares at my jeep, gets into his dually diseal and does a burnout backing up his truck, then dumps it pulling out of the parking lot through a redlight. Me and my bud just started cracking up.

When I am impressed by some body's rig, I ussualy go say something to him, and if hes nice maybe he will tell me about his rig. Truck or Jeep or car for that matter.

Doing a burnout from a parking lot through a redlight sounds more like a territorial defense ritual.:looney:

Ehhh, I dont think he really fits that sterotype. Hes more of the kind of person that would live in his mom's basement until hes 45.
 
lol I know. I just give them a blank stare and am like wtf? ok guy. you are so cool. Worst part is most of them are not teens. I place them more in mid 30's.
 
as far as us asshats driving like crazy, its just the way we celebrate actually having a liscense.

when we dont have a liscense, we drive like asshat's to 'blend in'

im not sure about jersey, but here in LA, you gotta defend the carpool lane. if you let em, people will drive 55 in it, which is bullshit. they start it, i end it.
it becomes like rubbernecking at an accident, 2seconds of slowing down for each car that goes by, next thing you know its gridlock!


yeah i do 90 on 33's, on a daily basis.
 
For some reason, I get different response from other driver on what car I actually drive. I sometime drive my dad's COMPLETELY stock 01' Blazer 4dr, I get cut off, tailgating and some other unwanted behavior from the other. With my Lifted 02' Blazer ZR-2 with some big tires, etc, I get no cut off, no tail gating, etc. I dont drive as a anal unless someone start it first though.

HIDs really help the being cut-off part.
:gee:
 
I created this list...Signs you might be driving in California....these I've actually seen and experience on a day to day basis

  1. When a Full size pickup with a 20" lift, 8" aluminum blocks, 35" tires and bling bling 20" rims doing 85mph
  2. When you have been patiently waiting for 10 minutes in the turn lane for the freeway ramp only for some asshat to pass everyone, then block the thru traffic to butt in line, and cut you off right at the turn.
  3. When drivers speeding in the right turn only lane to by-pass traffic and swerve into the middle lane when the right turn lane ends.
  4. when all the slow drivers are in the fast lane while no one is in the slow lanes.
  5. when people leave 2 car lengths in front of them at a red light so it never trips the light sensors.
  6. when it rains, everyone slows down to 25 mph in a 65mph because they've never seen rain before.
  7. When drivers think that the blinkers are accessories instead of a necessity
  8. When drivers think that they turn on their blinkers, they expect you to move out of the way while they force themselves over and cause you to slam on your brakes to avoid collision.
  9. When those old vietnamese women who can barely drive talk on the cell phone and pull a U-turn over double yellow solid lines and turn right in front of you.
  10. When you bought a new car and had been rear-ended twice in 3 months.
  11. When drivers in the fast lane drive at the same slow speed as the person in the next lane, not allowing you to pass.
  12. When the drivers commit any of the above and when you honk at them, they flip you off and cuss thinking its your fault.
  13. When the drivers speed and drive over the 200 foot limit in the center turn lane.
  14. When the drivers pull out in front of fast traffic causing you to slam on your brakes.
  15. Improper lane changes for no reason. They change lanes without using their blinkers even if they dont need to get around or pass any other cars.
  16. When the drivers drive on the right shoulder for many blocks, that is clearly NOT a marked lane
  17. When the person merges onto the freeway does a quadruple lane change to the fast lane when noone else is in front of them.
 
It seems like the prius thing is opposite near me, they all drive 90+.

In that case I love to get in front of them and drive 70, which causes the earth to split, 2012 style. They freak out. haha
 
i joke, but im not a bad driver, i can honestly say im only guilty of one of djblades action item list:

3: When drivers speeding in the right turn only lane to by-pass traffic and swerve into the middle lane when the right turn lane ends.

but to be fair, i can pretty much read the first guy at the light, and can tell which ones move at a reasonable pace (no cutoff), from the douchebags who snooze half the light before getting going (these are the ones i love cutting off).

all in all, i think im more of a speeder, than an asshole driver, i dont flip people off, i let people in when they use blinkers. etc etc... just keep your slow shit to the right.

Like I said, "Dude bro"
yes he has tow mirrors
yes he has HIDs that are no way aimed properly
yes those badges do say "SRT6" on the side.

Most of that sounds like Mass to me. I've been stuck behind a 65mph rolling roadblock for 8 miles before because some retard driving a minivan in the left lane didn't realize that SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT is just as much of a law as the speed limit.

Drivers just suck. Everywhere. All of them.
 
I think I saw all 17 items on that list on the drive home today. Some jackass in a lifted F150 flew past me going about 70 in a 45 zone. I caught up to him at the next light and just like you said, the little Ford oval was covered up with the mandatory FMF sticker. Cracked me up.

I thought that was called the Jersey slide. But New Yorker's have a good excuse they are to busy doing to fist pump to signal lane changes:shhh::D
