Are Dorkis a bunch of jerks???
"I had noticed that the ones most likely to run a red light, not give way to pedestrians and generally drive recklessly and too fast were often the ones driving fast German cars."
https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/26/world...ntl/index.html Maybe since I drive a 996 I'm not as bad as someone driving a 991

IMHO, that is a flawed study/report. From my own limited experience, yes, some expensive car owners can be jerks, but I don't think I'd say that about the majority. Hardly a conclusive list, but I've noticed the following vehicle sub-groups tend to be likely jerks:

The ones who never give point-bys on track are usually driving German cars, in my experience.

The Real Threat
Prius and Tesla drivers seem to be the worst. I have had more negative encounters with those two vehicles.
A guy driving a brand new Tesla X told me I was snob for driving my 10 year old Cayman. A Prius driver berated me for my Cherokee. I pointed out that no one walks outside in the snow and is pleased they have a Prius. Elric42 |

My mother told me that on snow days you were supposed to walk to work or school uphill . . . . both ways.
