You obviously haven't been out here and driven in Los Angeles. Women Prius drivers think their cars' stingy use of gasoline gives them the right to drive like Nascar drivers. Coming up the freeway on ramp they're eyeballing traffic so they can make a bee line for the left lane where they hammer it at 80 MPH.

Or they get in the left lane and do 60 because they want everyone to not go faster than them while getting good MPGs.

If you want to know why people drive so badly just go to Costco or Sam's Club and watch how people drive their shopping carts. They ignore everything and everyone and are only focused on themselves and their interests. No consideration or concerns for anyone else.

I've lived, driven and shopped in SoCal and all the behaviors you listed are true. However its something that doesn't happen/ rarely happens in most other places... like the Michigan where Miss MI is. Especially the shopping cart thing. I haven't encountered one rude/ in their own world person in Omaha or here in NC... Only a hand full in my life in Pittsburgh. I'm sure they are everywhere but there is an especially high concentration of them in SoCal.

It's funny because when I am "crusin" at 90 down the highway or drifting all over in the snow or moving slow drivers over I actually feel like I am doing a good thing for all raptor drivers! I feel like it adds to the " Badass" reputation of the raptor. In all reality probably 25 of the 30 drivers at the intersection hate my driving but I know there is that one or 2 guys that will be telling all of their buddies about that nasty loud blacked out raptor drifting like Tanner!! And really those are the guys I do it for, lol.

Well I've got say I was doing my part last night in the fast lane around 85ish give or take 5 or so, when out of the dark I noticed crown Vic lights coming up from behing I didn't brake just down shifted to 5th let it so to 72 stayed in the fast lane a bit then signaled to the right. At that ponit I was sure what was coming up next he paced me for maybe a half mile when all of a sudden sped up and went for the chevy truck ahead made me think was it because I was in a Raptor or maybe he does like gm's. My lucky night

I know each state is different, but I really do wish people would use some common courtesy. It's not that hard to step on the gas a little and move over. A funny side note, a few years ago, a former co-worker who was a left lane retard (and I always gave hime shit for) finally got what he deserved. $168 failure to keep right ticket. TN doesn't normally enforce it, but you'll get one if you brake check an unmarked cop car. LOL!
Anyone else experience a more aggressive tone while driving a Raptor? My wife seems to think that but she's never right.

I think some people are just clueless and others are like "**** everybody else!" I travel a bit with my job and usually drive less than 10mph over and have my cruise set. I hate having to cancel it, so when if I am passing and see a car coming up on me, I step on it, make my pass, then move on over. It's truly just how the driver was trained and/or people "getting back at the man" or whether they want to be a *****. Many ****** out there as well as many people who understand the "rules" as well. Just smile! After all, you're the one in the Raptor!!!

The Prius drivers down here are malicious. They cut you off, have small car complexes, and they even wrap their prius and black out the windows. They are pretty fast little buggers though.

If there is a space between a truck and the car ahead of them the small cars think it warrants them to get into that space....the space is there so that if the truck has to brake it has some room to do so without parking over your 50mpg tin can.
