Default Worst drivers..Oregon !

Ok, so I was born and raised in Southern California, and have lived here in the Pacific NW, both in Seattle and Portland for about 12 years. Nearly everyday, I have to navigate through a sea of dumb ***, overly cautious, un-attentive drivers.....sooooo f*ckin' annoying.

Worst yet many times, you get the 'playa' hata types, they see you in the HID equiped Lexus, and deliberatley cut in front of you to prevent your passage to next empty lane(s)....argh ! When I travel to Cali for business or vaca, it's like therapy...ah, drivers that actually have a clue....

That's what you get when folks up there drink too much coffee, smoke too much Kronic and are the product of generations of in breeding. Lovely area the northwest, however too many unibomber-types and tanya hardings.

my main problem with people's driving is those people that dont go at least the speed limit. I'm on my second ticket, so to prevent any rate hikes, im on good behavior at least until the judge gets kind and lets me have traffic school, or until the ticket disappears. i now obey the speed limit, and i normally reside in the slow lane now (it SUCKS...), but c'est la vie. but when people go like 35 in a 45 thats what ticks me off. it seems that i have a large number of these people in my community...if i were a cop id end up handing out more tickets for going to slow than for speeding!

ummmmm.....NO!!! Oregon doesn't have the worst drivers!! I was born in Cali but have lived in Oregon my whole life, the WORST drivers are WASHINGTONIANS!!! They NEVER go the speed limit, adn on top of that they decide to stay in the fast lane and not move!! In Oregon, theres signs everywhere on the freeway that says "Slower Traffic Keep Right". Washingtonians NEVER obey by that sign, probably because Washington doesn't have any on their freeways!!

Anywayz, lexusnexus, where do you get your things done for your car? By the way, nice color (GGP)...we don't have very many of those in the NW...way too many whites and silvers!!!

Hey man, well I have done anything yet, I am so focused on the TRD S/C...I so want one of these, I would really like to add tint, and perhaps the TRD Carbon Fiber hood, and 18' Advan's or Old School BBS, beyond that I dunno ?

Any recommendations on tint ? I am soooo picky my last car had done by some outfit called Pro-Tint looked pretty good.

You are all wrong. I live in South Florida where the drivers don't even obey the laws of physics. Most of our drivers learned to drive in third world countries. They all abide by the driving rules of their nation of origin. Sixty percent of the drivers have no insurance although it is required by law. We give out tickets for DWD on Miami Beach: Driving while Deceased. People routinely fly thru red lights like 2-3 seconds after they change in a big SUV, just daring anyone to hit them. You literally have to look both ways before proceeding thru a green light. Stop signs? Why bother! We lead the nation in pedestrian fatalities. Practically every car on the road has a dent in it. And, yes, I have driven in some other supposedly poor areas (Boston, Indiana, New York, New Jersey, Seattle, Italy). Any one who has ever visited here agrees: we have the worst drivers in the universe.:eek:

No, no, no. I went to school in New Jersey and drove the turnpike many a time. Trust me, unless you've experienced S. Florida, you ain't seen nothin'.
