Do white trash rednecks hate us because of our cars?
OK, so I was driving down the highway, in the left lane, minding my own business. I wasn't speeding or doing anything that could have been seen as offensive by anyone. There were no cars in front of me. I was coming up on a very slow driving Ford Bronco, driving in the middle lane, about 50 mph (speed limit 65). All windows open, paint chipped off, rust everywhere, hair flying around in the drivers seat. As I was pulling next to the car, the guy, who looked like Willie Nelson with a bad hair day, stuck his tatoo-covered arm out the window and gave me the middle finger, yelling some inaudible choice words at me, complementing the finger gesture. I was like "huh?", shrugging my shoulders and shaking my head in disbelief. As I was past, he was still running his mouth with his hand out the window.
I just kept going, knowing I should not sink to his level and endanger the three young children in my back seat in any way, but of course my blood was boiling at that point and I was thinking what I might have done under different circumstances. Anyway, just wondering if you guys have had similar experiences because this was surely a first for me, but then again I have only been driving my bimmer for two weeks, so do I have more road rage ahead of me or what??? Makes me wanna stash a sawed-off baseball bat under the seat, just in case! |

Good writing. Must me a recently layed-off Ford worker who is blaming you for not being able to sell trucks. Remind him of the horrific Ford styling and craftsmanship and throw a note in there about unions... that'll chirp his bird.
Can you name one decent Ford sedan that is small(er) but high quality? I hate big cars but appreciate quality and performance. Where else do we go but towards European cars? |

Man, I live in GA and get the same thing. No one flips me off, but they'll drive some broken down piece of crap and as soon as they see me, they'll peel out or no let me get into a lane. I'm not as civil as you are though. I'll cuss them out and tell them to pull over at the next stop if they want to mess around. I know it's probably not the most mature thing to do, but I get that all the time, and I'm done being the nice guy with these idiots. Like its my fault you live in the ghetto, drive a piece of shit vehicle, have no money, etc. Rednecks

Had that happen to me once when I was going to work on the lower deck of Tobin Bridge. This psycho in a Ford Taurus started flipping me off, try to run me off the road, yelling profanity and cutting me off constantly. Best policy is to ignore these fuck-ups, or you can give them a smile and wave at them to piss them off even more

Hmmm... I've been busy chastising people here for calling out Asians and Mexicans (see http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=162084), so I guess this isn't cool either. Meh.

Come on, I mean "white trash rednecks" are not a race, they are not even a social group. Kind of reminds me of the bad guys in the movie Deliverance - genetic mutants (= trash) whose genes will not make it to the next generation. Survival of the fittest, baby! (and the fittest are driving BMWs!!!)
Disclaimer: I am no racist and I do have many "redneck" friends. |

Raised pickups driving slow in the fastlane... High ratio of giving you the finger, flashing lights, or at least an evil glare when being passed. Race and social type very consistant.
