what he said is totally true, sometimes I feel like I'm going speed limit, but when I look down at the speedo, I'm at 95mph. Got myself in some law troubles because of that!

No kidding. I've had two speeding tickets owning/driving seven vehicles over several years and BAM, two speeding tickets in the 3GS in a year and a half

By far the worst are Honda drivers. I actually don't have issues with BMW, Lexus, Mustang drivers. I find Audi drivers to always be trying to prove something along with Infiniti drivers. I would say teh TT and the G35 sedan are the worst. Then its Acura drivers trying to prove FWD can be sporty or some dumb crap. Then the NEW Tundra drivers are horrible, I think they think they drive tanks and they drive as such. Then I find mindless people in Tahoe/Yukon/Suburban/Escalade etc to be horrible, no signal, cutting off, always in the fast lane where you can't see around them.

To be HONEST my biggest BEEF with Lexus drivers is not driving, its PARKING. I get a good kick watching a RX or LX trying to park. I've noticed a lot of them do not know how to park and I'm not talking parallel parking lol.

Funny but Lexus are so quiet, you really have to watch how fast you are going.

Most of the Lexus drivers around here are senior citizens, needless to say, they are not agrressive drivers. I find that the BMW drivers are by far the worst, they think that for some reason, they have to use that BMW performance in order to get their money worth. I really dont mind them driving fast, but its when they are cutting off people crossing over 3 lanes that bothers me. I am sure you guys heard the old joke about what is the difference between a dog and a BMW, the A hole is on outside of the dog.

I second that BMW drivers are the worst they think that I have a BMW move out my way, oh and don't let it be a M3 M5 M6 545 550 now they want too push you down the road almost all of my boys have BMW's and we agrue all the time they talk about Hp and I say show me your back camera , show me your rear sun shade , wood grain in the car ,your dash lights , led's everything ,the touch screen navi, I told them that you paid 50k for a car that make a hell of a lot of noise when the AC fan come on , show me your AC and heated seats and what about buying a 35k car like the 545 now to turn around and have to change the front and back bumpers and add led tail light to look like a M5 so thats 35k plus another 4k and then have to spend $140 for a oil change that you don' t even get to use much cause the car is always at the dealer fixing and trust me have more I can say . Now I paid 30k for my car and I have everything that they wish they had, or have to buy only my HP is not there. BMW's drivers have a point to prove while lexus we let it speak for its self .

The worst is when those young BMW driver run into a Infinity G on the road. There is probably a better than 50% chance that they will try to race one another. Both have something to prove and both have more horsepower than brains.
