Prius with Obama or 'Hope and Change' sticker on it. I hate those smug bastards. They preach about saving the planet, but they drive those little POS as fast as they will go just so they can pass me and then cut me off to make their exit. How emission/mileage friendly are they at full throttle all the time?

Yes it's funny to see a car that costs less than its ridiculous oversized wheels and thumping stereo. LOL whomever decided this is cool, they are an idiot. Why not spend the money on a nicer car? How is a nice car in stock trim not preferred over a shiny piece of poop?

I sneer mostly at big tractor trucks. Not only are they the most likely to send a stone flying my direction but they are in the way, often driving too slow or too fast (unloaded) for the conditions. I am a magnet for these hazards... there can be no other trucks in sight, in either direction on the highway, but there will be one right next to me as I come down the on-ramp. Every. Single. Time. Yes I can accelerate/decelerate to avoid them but it's just annoying!

I have a jeep wrangler as my daily driver and it's lifted with bigger tires. I had a blowhard with his wife start with me at a red light. Asking me or yelling at me I should day "why would you need a vehicle that big!!" I replied why do you need a wife that big?? she was huge.

And those NOT-SO- "Smart Cars". They always remind me of a Port-A-Potty on wheels!
