Not sure why it bothers me, but people who have the 'baby on board' sign hanging on their rear windows end up driving like they own the entire road. Well, at least to me it seems like that.
Cars and their drivers you dislike.

QFT! Especially in the Boston area. Pisses me off since most actually have some giddyup! No one is going to hit you, lady!

What I do when I'm stuck in heavy traffic but still have a tailgater behind me is open up the space ahead of me so I have time for both my reaction time and his.

I usually do this when stuck driving during rush hour (rare for the most part, but I get caught in it ever so often). Still, it's damn annoying when people refuse to stop tailgating during bumper-to-bumper traffic.

Hah. The thing is that Saab's are, at the very least, different. Not always good different but always different.

Because of this thread... I rap car'd the Lexus SUV on my way home. An elderly lady even rolled her window up at a stop light.

you know, cars have something called speedometer and there's something really cool you can do with them. you can take a look at them and they tell you how fast you are atm.
seriously. people telling me "haha wow, I drove so fast because I was sitting in my BMW or Audi and, you know, those cars are king. sorry" are probably the worst thing on the street(sucks for me because my family is packed with this attitude).
LOOK at your freaking speedometer once in a while. that helps a lot preventing speeding like some maniac.
"Speeding because you can't hear/feel how fast you are" is nothing more than a lazy excuse

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Cyclists who do half the speed limit or less right in the middle of the lane are the worst. Pretty much all cyclists are worse than all motorized folks, now that I think of it.
People who drive pickups with lift kits are second.
People who ride Harleys with modified exhausts are next.

Older Ford Transit vans - because they're gutless and I know if I'm stuck behind one it's going to be a painful experience, particularly up hills. They're fucking big inside, which sadly makes them popular. I believe the newer ones have 2.2 TDCi engines, so they would go ok.
I dislike Audi drivers, because they always seem to push into gaps because, you know, they're special. Also the ex-husband of an ex-girlfriend of mine drove one, so that might have something to do with it.

Anything with an Ohio license plate. Lots of reasons, but the main one is that there's roughly an 80% chance that they'll drive 10mph under the speed limit in the passing lane.
Gaffers from bordering states can probably vouch for me on this one.

It's a poor excuse for maintaining a high speed, but there have been plenty of times where I've merged onto the highway and gotten up to a higher speed than expected. With a heapful of extra power and a smooth, stable chassis it's easy to surprise yourself with the speed.
Then you look down at the speedo, realize your mistake and slow down.
When I had the 911 there were a few times where I slowed to 100mph from...something higher... (very light traffic on I-20 between Birmingham and Atlanta) and I felt like I was cruising along at normal speeds, only to shock myself when I looked at the speedo.

I don't like it when some people following me in the parking lot with their cars to get my space. I feel rushed. I especially hate it when they get super close and don't give me any room to back out.
I don't mind trucks (I drive one for work) but I really hate when people put huge rims on them (trucks or suvs) with low profile tires, it looks absolutely ridiculous. Especially if they keep the stock rear drum breaks, then that just makes me laugh. I don't mind a lifted truck with offroad tires if people actually use then to off road with or haul trailers.
Also people who hang out in your blind spot and people who drive slow in the passing lane.

There has never been a good driver. Ever. Absolutely everyone in this thread is guilty of pulling boneheaded dangerous maneuvers multiple times in their driving life. And sometimes when we do it, we'll realize we just pulled a jerk move, grin sheepishly to ourselves for a minute, and keep going. After all, we were in a hurry, or weren't paying attention for a second, or just really really needed to. It's no big deal, it's not like we're bad drivers the rest of the time. Meanwhile everyone around us is condemning our eternal souls to the most caustic pit of acid and flames that Hell can provide, and we'll be sure to be mentioned the next time they post to a "drivers you hate" thread. And then the next day they'll cut us off while trying to change lanes and we'll get all righteously angry in turn.
Bring on the self driving cars. Monkeys aren't suited to drive them.

Baby on board signs are great, but they should say "Warning: Distracted Driver"

Ugh...I will hate this day to no end. I really enjoy driving, so as long as it isn't mandatory I have no problem with it.

The thing is, they're somewhat less useful if not EVERY car is automated. I'm sure it will be quite a while before that's the situation though.
I'll be the first to admit this simulation is not particularly realistic (enormous highway intersection, no pedestrians, why isn't it just an interchange?) but it is pretty awesome. Yellow is humans, white is automated.

That would definitely be more fitting as I've noticed they really seem to no be paying attention to the road. So many sudden stops a intersections when the lights have already changed.

People who park like this;
Fine, you got an enormous vehicle, and you need multiple spots.
PARK AT THE REAR OF THE LOT! Not within the first 4 spots at the Mall.

Big hulking trucks but it's for a real petty reason and that's because trying to back out of a parking lot with a bunch of those around isn't very fun, plus it's tough to find your car (I drive a puny coupe) and it's always an adventure backing out. I work at the airport and it seems a lot of the pilots drive big.

What about a F350 on a lift kit with 60-inch tires, no hitch, a Romney bumper sticker and "FEAR THIS" monogrammed on the back window?

People who tailgate me when I am already doing 2-3 mph over the speed limit in the right-most lane. Where does he/she want me to go?

They want you to go 5 mph over the speed limit.
Cars
-Huge ass trucks
-Flame decals, colored rims (saw a guy once with at least three different colored rims on different wheels...why?)
-Pro-Republican/conservative/libertarian bumper stickers
-Bumper stickers that aren't clever/are played (my kid shits on your honor student, etc.). I also don't like Proud Parent bumper stickers or Alumni decals or whatever.
Drivers
-Aggressive drivers. I used to think it was funny when people would flip each other off, purposely drive to the side of a car and cuss someone out, and flash their blinkers at people ahead of them. But having been on the receiving end and just changed as I've gotten older...it's not funny. Road rage is stupid.
-People who do crazy shit while driving: a few days ago as I was driving back from the gym I was waiting behind a few cars for my light to go green. To my left, heading in the opposite direction was a mom/aunt and her daughter, both of them eating salads while the presumed mother was driving, even had her hands off the wheel once.

I hate all types of cars because their drivers do the same damn thing, and that's cutting me off when they have a yield sign AND then driving slow as hell
Yeaaaaah boi.
I am driving a 2010 jeep grand cherokee right now and i love it. I don't mind any vehicles to be honest, it's the driver. The driver/model doesn't always go hand in hand.
Old people in typical old person cards. It's unsafe and can be scary.
It's not the 'fast' lane. You use it for passing, not for cruising at high speeds. #1 highway pet peeve right there.

Minivans always seem to go slow on the highway.
In Ohio 18 wheelers on my work commutes always ride the two left lanes doing the speed limit or under, sometimes in both passing lanes, holding up traffic.
People in general who don't yield on the highway when they have the sign and people who refuse to let people merge. That slows everyone down.
People who ride my ass when I'm going 20 over and can't get over.
