    Ever notice the EXTREME aggresiveness of drivers of virtually all the new Dodge products?

    Whether it is a Caliber, a Magnum, the pimpy sedan or (the worse) the obscenely aggressively styled pick-up with the HUGE grill, they all seem to want to drive 25 to 30 MPH over and tailgate CLOSELY.

    Now don't get me wrong; I don't putt along and block traffic. I practice good lane discipline and don't poke along in the fast lane. But these folks are aggressive and make no attempt at any courtesy.

    So, is it the styling of the vehicle that induces this behavior, or are the naturally aggressive drivers drawn to this style vehicle? Which came first?

    LOL.

    Haven't really had that experience, but they do know how to make one ugly-ass line of cars.

    They might feel safer in bigger vehicles... as if there's no danger.

    I have a theory, and that’s all it is, is a theory. With many home foreclosures off the charts pushing homeowners into the rental market; similarly, these are BMW owners that had their “ultimate driving machine” repo’d.



    :eek: :D

    I have noticed alot of these guys in the Big 3 pickups are real agressive drivers, not so much with the Tundra or Titan. But then on the other side of the spectrum, there are the Camry and Prius drivers who are afraid to accelerate away from a set of traffic lights. It all balances out...

    We have failed to mention the deadly "geezermobile!" Beware of any Buick you see with a string of baseball caps displayed on the rear deck and a handicap placard hanging from the mirror.
