Why is it that the people with the most incapable consumer automobiles (pickup trucks) drive the most recklessly? 8 out of 10 cars that I observe on the road or highway that I would consider "driving aggressively" or even "recklessly" are the pricks in their Dodge Ram Kingcab, Ford Bronco Anniversery Harley Davidson Edition, or Chevy Silverado Small Dick Edition. Now, I am no model of defensive driving (although I've been accident free my entire driving career), but I would imagine that anyone ducking and diving in and out of traffic at 85mph in a jacked up Toyota Tundra with big ass tires and a race bike in the back (seen last night) should be pulled over, written a ticket, and cavity searched with a cattle prod set to high. Besides the obvious danger to the general public, have these rednecks conceded loss to the rising cost of gasoline? Now, if I had a truck that already got 10mpg, I'd be looking for ways to make that number a bit higher to save me some cash and a little environment. Not these d-bags. Nope, instead they'll drive 90 and get 6mpg!! Now, either they are incredible stupid or rich, inconsiderate people or both. I am guessing the latter.

Here is an equation I have come up with to rationalize this behavior:

(Engine Displacement)*(|Ride height change from stock|)+(Average highway speed)/(Fuel Economy)

=

1/(Size of Penis)

No offense to the pickup owners in here, but I hope these a-holes on the road burn in hell , or at least on the side of the road...

Yeah, it seems pretty common in heavy traffic. I think it's just because they are up high and can see openings better.

When I was commuting, I would always see utility trucks pull the worst shit. I think they just really get to know their trucks since they probably drive 100k a year.

 

I think it was already established in another OT thread that Camry drivers are the worst though...

 

I think it is because they are always late

 

I drive my pickup like that out of frustration during the 6 months my car is in winter storage!

 

When I first saw this thread title I thought it had something to do with Super Mario Brothers.

Don't forget soccer moms on the phone driving Hummers and Escalades.

 

When I get tailgated it usually is a huge pickup truck doing the tailgating. I usually travel at 80mph down the highway and yet they still tailgate.

 

Funny, you don't see them tailgating semis.
