It's the same way in my area. Truck after truck after truck. I don't know what started that trend but it makes NO sense. Nobody uses the storage or the towing ability. They get maybe 5 or 6 days a year of bad weather to use 4WD and call in sick like everybody else.

When the soccer mom driving the new Tesla sedan in ludicrious mode smokes everyone from a standstill, guess we'll declare her a racing legend. LOL

While true, acceleration is one of the biggest benefits of these cars.

Trucks are just loud and slow. They're the Harley's of the automobile world.

The most ridiculous thing I've heard about my camaro was a question...." Is that a Corvette?" I got asked by a guy when I went to get my windows tinted and a girl at school.

MY sportster XL1200N would give my Camaro a run for its money from 0-100 km/h... (0-60 mph)

100 LB/f torque vs 480 lbs of bike.....

I had a Guy tell me my car is faster from 0-150 km/h then a his Hellcat Charger which has an additional 15k under the hood and dyno'd @ 703 wheel HP

They cut you off, they're rude, they're always in a hurry to get where really, I doubt anywhere! They just feel self-entitled! I'm sure once they're out of their vehicle (for the most part) they're a different animal! See most people act different behind the wheel in my book.

I just can't stand how the BMW has some sort of energy-field around the vehicle that turns you into a complete clammy buttmunch! :( . ... . ... I get older men in their 50s+ who tailgate all the time and surprise surprise they're in a larger BMW sedan with a "NO F*** GIVEN" on their pruny face!

I drove the same way when I drove a 73 Dodge Dart. I have had many cars over the years and I have always driven the same. I might very well be a jerk, But I have a BMW 4 series and a Camaro SS, What does that say about me? I suspect when I drove the Dodge Dart my driving style was ahead of my time, lol
