You know that saying 'all the pricks left BMW for Audi'?

Well, I think they finally settled into Mercs lol. Man, seems like every time there's an idiot making dangerous moves on the highway, invariably it's some late model smallish MB sedan. What gives, are they cheap speed or something else that attracts a certain rowdy demographic? No idea about the different MB models but talk about crazy, repeated occurrences.

This is location specific.

Most of the driving idiots in my area drive trucks.

The weird thing is that to meet them they aren't bad dudes (usually).

Dirt cheap now, big power (for the $) and easy to make very loud, appearance of luxury and wealth, the perfect recipe for the connoisseur of finer things in life

Sorry, I mean the takeover obnoxious no-care crowd.

Honestly, majority of the modern Zs are owned by the same crowds, G gets more love usually most of the time because the hotties can come along.

Hotties, as in the broskis
The short time I had a 370, there was not a moment where I want to go to their meet, when typical material posted is takeovers

Same here. Pickup truck drivers are by far the worst in my part of the world. After that it's pretty random from brand to brand really as bad drivers come in all shapes and sizes and drive all sorts of vehicles. For whatever reason a lot of people in pickup trucks seem to think that they own the road and if you didn't know any different you would think that turn signal indicators are a non-standard option on trucks.

Dunno if its local or not, being a suburban Ontarian, I see more RAM owners as dbags than any other brands.

I think the VQs actually sound good, very unique engine note.

They are destroyed by the flat bill, vape crowd that makes them catless and no resonaters and then they sound absolutely horrific.

Infiniti and Altima drivers are the primary virus in NYC.

There's nothing wrong with owning an Infiniti or an Altima - just stop driving it like you have a sports car, it's a slow terrible sounding moving hazard.

I never liked the sound of the VQ. Stock they all sound like vacuum cleaners.

The run on I-5 between Tacoma and Seattle is a freaking free-for-all....I have never seen so many maniacal drivers; often found in a Dodge Challenger or Dodge Charger or a throw away sub-compact Hyundai or Kia.

A sub-section of the madness are found with FL, GA license plates and they appear very young, as in active military temporary transplants.

There have been multiple, multiple road rage shootouts on this section of interstate.

It's funny cause in the rest of the Seattle area, drivers are exceedingly timid and slow. I'm talking the 405, 90, 520 etc. in the Eastside. Rarely ever see or experience road rage. It's all tech workers cruising under 70 in their Teslas and Subarus.

South sound people gon do south sound things
