New Camaros are definitely drawing a large part of the douche crowd. Around here the most common douche-mobiles outside of already mentioned luxury cars are the modern day rhinestone cowboys- 2500 or larger 4wd truck, 6" minimum lift w/ semi tires, stupid loud exhaust with a programmer, brand new chrome drop hitch with trailer nuts but not a single molecule of mud underneath or scratch on the bed.

Most people driving around in the new Camaro's are normally driving V6 models. That doesn't qualify as a douche, that qualifies as a "I wish I had a real Camaro" guy/girl.

Any hummer, any ricer, any blacked out SUV, any SUV without a tow hitch, any car that sits in the left lane rather than passing and getting back in the right lane.

In the UK (just as point of interest) worst drivers are always in a Volkswagon Passat or Audi A4. Usually the 2.0 TDi model which they think has the power of a Gallardo and perform overtaking moves as if it did. Tailgate you with a sense of entitlement and always try and race you from the lights, even if you aren't bothered.

Then the next worse cars/drivers/douche are Golf TDI drivers or Seat Leon TDi (Golf derviative).

Then maybe the odd 3 series driver or worst in the BMW camp, MR. 520D I have something to prove driver.

All dangerous really, which is the worst thing about it.

Most people would probably consider me somewhat of an asshole driver.

I will honk at you if you are in the fast lane driving slow. I may go around you and cut back over. If you are blocking a two lane freeway like this with say a semi truck to the right at same speed you will get high beamed. If you are coasting way below the speed of other people. And if you are an idiot who drifts in your lane because you can't turn your head without also turning your arms because your hand eye coordination is terrible.

I have owned a g35 coupe ... have an a4 right now and will likely buy a BMW next year when my BMW CCA membership hits 1 year.

That said I live in LA and the typical LA driver of any car would probably be considered a total asshole in most smaller cities.

Buy the g37. Who cares what people think buy the car you want to drive. People are mostly idiots anyway so their opinion should not matter. Hell I want a Miata too. People say its a chicks car. People are stupid. Douche on.

Is dolce and gabbana inherently douchy?


Is an oyster perpetual intrinsically tied to a fate of utter doucheness?


I want to buy mother Theresa a e46 m3 so she can spread the word of goodness in a mega boss car to cleanse it douche....

Then in that impossible future we can discuss cars on their merits vs some asinine litmus test applied by dunces and luddites...

That said I also love driving. I have owned a g35 coupe ... have an a4 right now and will likely buy a BMW next year when my BMW CCA membership hits 1 year.

I know the overtaking/undertaking laws are different in the US, but over in the UK you can't undertake people it is illegal. Probably because as soon as you undertake most people who have been sitting in the outside lane of a motorway (freeway) for 10 miles, they instantly pull over into the lane you are undertaking them in...for some reason.

But this staying in the wrong lane (in the UK..the right hand lane(s) ) because you plan on turning right 30 miles down the road is an epidemic...and as undertaking is illegal.....these people are literally rolling roadblocks ! I applaud your honking and high beaming....you'd get done for harassment over here though.

Any cheap affordable car that is slightly more upscale than the average commuter car. This includes G35/37

Any standard ecconobox made to be sleeker and sportier than others, eg Altimas.

Anybody who thinks they are better than you in some way, if it's they have HIDs and you don't, bigger lift, slammed lower, darker tint, bigger wheels, more tilt in their sunroof, anything.

The majority of douches are lower class income financing entry level cars with badge appeal and thinking they are somebody with something to prove. These are the 328i and C230s you see parked at apartments and trailers.

Motorcycles.

Does not qualify as a car last time I checked.

Overall though, I'd say most people who drive jacked up trucks are douches and people w honda civics with a shit ass body kit and huge loud exhaust.

Also anything SandEagle drives.

I drive a 'douche' car. The reason I say this is because it is amazing at what all these 'douche' bag drivers will do in order to talk to me about my car. We're takling
illegal lane changes, speeding, etc. And every one of them have the same story. "My 'fill in the blank' used to own one of those." I even got chased down by guys driving
Dodge Viper's, Ferrari's, Corvette's, etc. You'd think I was driving a UFO or something. I definately get way more attention than I ever wanted.

Around here.. it went from BMW drivers to Audi drivers. Still a ton of dbag BMW drivers around though. Oh, and all Mercedes SUV drivers have been dbags in this area.

Good Lord your houses are packed close together. be careful opening your car door...you might ding your neighbor's car.

Douche cars: any Subaru (especially the Station Wagons with the Obama/Biden bumper stickers), VW Golf/Jetta/Passat, any BMW, any Audi. Virtually all these vehicles are *required* to pass you, even if you're doing 85 in the right lane.

Much like guns, cars dont make people do anything. They simply allow the inner asshole to be released.

Having said that: In my town assholes tend to gravitate to BMW's (sedan and SUV both), Acuras, Inifity's but not Nissans, and sometimes Audi & Mercedes.

But my town is also full of nutjobs so in addition to the douche drivers using the above brands, theres also tons of psycho drivers in ALL brands.

so much of this

When I was in college from 2002-2006, G35s, BMW 3 series, and Chevy Tahoes were very popular with the rich frat boys. So yes, the G37 is a douche car.

my list in no particular order:

350z
G35/G37
Mustang
Camaro
Vette
GrandPrix - now that I type this, I think this is the biggest douche car of all
EVOs and STI's kind of have douche drivers, but I don't equate that to the car being douchey
obviously the prius


there are a few others but that's a good start. I love how I own cars on that list.... I'm not a douche am I?

and multitudes of others around here who drive the same jacked-up "Im a Dick" truck while parking anywhere they damn please, including the sidewalk (seems to be becoming a more and more popular thing to do around here and its a piss off). If you are able enough to climb up into that truck then you are NOT disabled (maybe mentally).

Also anybody who drives a MR2 or Miata or 300zx - automatic douche.
