    I was teaching my sister house to drive the other day, one thing came up and I told her watch out for eurotrash cars, 9 times out of 10 they are driven by idiots that have their heads shoved up their own asses. I figured it was good advise. So that brought up a topic of discussion at work today. What vehicle makes attract the worst drivers. I stand by BMW. It's always some idiot that bought a 2001 328i that is weaving in and out of traffic because he thinks he is awesome that he bought a 2000 dollar BMW that has a trail of oil leaking out of it.

    I feel like one could make the same argument for the entry level Mercedes cars, with the added caveat that BMW cars tend to occasionally appeal to a true enthusiast because in the hands of a proper driver BMWs are fine cars, nothing can handle being piloted by an idiot! On the other hand, entry level Mercedes cars are only appealing to posers who want to say they have a sweet cat but don't know the first thing about building one and don't have the money to get a real nice car like what they think they have. People who dream of being driven around in a maybach but actually drive a c class with blown rear shocks, those kinds of people. Don't get me wrong, that happens with BMWs too and for that I give you credit, OP, but with a Mercedes it seems like that IS their entire entry level market, posers who wanna say they drive a Merc but can't afford the real ones. Sorry if anyone drives a C Class but at the University I go to that describes most Class drivers to a T. At least with BMW, there are some true enthusiasts who buy 3 series BMWs and tastefully mod them and take good care of them. You see them at car shows and things like that, and though they are few and far between they do exist.

    You can pick out toolbags in any make of vehicle, I seem to usually see morons in Civics constantly weaving in and out of traffic, flooring it and slamming on the brakes.

    My bmw was too fast i had no choice.

    I have a running theory.. bmws just feel different, when i had mine for 5 years, i felt like EVERYONE on the road was driving sooooo slow. Maybe they really are ultimate driving machines.

    Around here, BMW's are bad, but there is one that I find is worse. I did some truck driving for a bit, until I decided it was not for me, and whenever I saw someone doing something totally idiotic on the road, 9 times out out of 10, it was a VW driver. And to this day, even my wife points them out whenever we encounter an idiot, sure enough, VW nearly everytime.

    Yeah but it's always some hot dumb b**** driving a VW though so that's a plus.

    I definitely agree, civics and mustangs are both up there for the same reasons, those being cars notorious for ending up with kids not equipped or mature enough to handle them and then not surprisingly it often ends badly or as everyone pointed out in unnecessarily erratic driving at best. I guess civics could be a step worse because you have all the same problems as you'd have with a cheapo Merc except you're moving even further down on the price point so even more idiots out there can afford it :crazy:

    AUDI, hands down. In and around vancouver, there are tons of rich foreigners with purchased drivers licenses driving top-of-the line audis. They're downright terrifying.

    Despite the Pontiac being brand being dead for awhile, they're some of the worst drivers in my state. They drive way too aggressive

    I have found most of my discontent with other people's driving has come from a Mercedes. Particularly instances in which a V8 Bi-Turbo is being driven ten under the limit.

    90s Blazers and S-10s are not far behind.

    Depends if you're in Ktown or MPK..?
    They're too scared to get out of their comfy shitty crash courses confined by city limits.
