Is it just me...

It used to be that seeing a Mercedes or BMW marque on a car was a sign that you've probably got a huge asshole of a driver in front of you. Lately, that role seems to have been taken over by Lexus drivers.

What is it with these people in their overpriced Toyotas that makes them thoughtless, reckless, and uncaring?

Acura and Infinity drivers don't seem to be any worse than the general population, and maybe the other drivers of German cars have just stopped being assholes to me, since I'm in the club, but Lexus? Nope, it's almost guaranteed that the power suit wearing man or woman behind the wheel drives like they're doing you a favor by magnanimously allowing you on their road.

I've been saying this same thing for years. In fact, when my mom bought a Lexus in October I told her she would forget how to drive, claim ownership of the road and that I would never ride in the car.

6 months in to the Lexus ownership, there has already been an accident (relatively minor thank god), of my mom's doing, which is her first accident since she was 16.

Not a scientific study, but still a compelling first-person example.

So, while it may only be two of us, at least I'm not alone on this.

Thanks Matt.

Just here to mention, volvo drivers still suck.

I think luxury buyers that used to buy Mercedes or BMW have just replaced their old cars with Lexus. I recently saw a Lexus with the plate BYBYBMR.
