I am not going to start anything here but thru the years I have notice a direct connection with high end cars and rude driving. Not all are foreign but because they are far less of these than your Fords, Chevies, and Dodges I guess it stands out.
It has been my experience that Dodge pickup drivers are the most rude where I am in Maryland. Everyone of them seems to drive like they own the road and they have to prove it. At least once a day I get cut off or flipped off by one.
On the other hand that BMW thing would explain a LOT about my brother-in-law... LOL
I have seen more terrible driving done by BMWs than any single make. The drivers are aggressive, very rude and for some reason think that their underpowered crock of leather and junk is something to be proud of.. I would not want one of those horrible little cars - my trucks are all better than everyone of them.

As an owner of a BMW in addition to Ford trucks I admit to being agressive but rude, never. Whenever I see a Beemer doing something rude I just assume it's one of those yuppie scum Who ruin BMW's image for the rest of us.
I disagree with the statement on the website that said that women were more courteous than men. Only once in 15 years of driving has a woman ever waved for me letting her in. With men it's about 9 times out of ten I get a wave.
Groundrat, we appear to be on like terms. In fact, check out the list at www.top4x4sites.com and browse it for a bit. You'll notice that pavementsucks.com is consistently ranked in the top five or so. It IS extensive, but dominated by those Dodge groupies. Every one of them seems to think they have the be-all and end-all of pickups. The site is harbor to the rudest, most arrogant and most immature crowd of Dodge/Jeep users I have yet seen online. The minority groups are comparably well behaved.
Coincidentally, most of the Chrysler boys around here are just the same. They all have their ugly, shiny-new Rams with chromed aftermarket exhausts and Lund accessories bolted all over the place. There is no variety. I don't see what it is they believe makes their vehicles so big and scary.
I'll tell you what worked for me she was a female driver up in Indianapolis and I could see her in the rear view doing the down hill slalom through traffic needless to say she cut me off and immediately hit her brakes. When she heard the duallies tires on the 96 F350 lock up and squall she had the nerve to flip me off so I picked up my cell phone and took my pad of paper wrote down her license plate number and acted like I was calling in her plate number. She immediately slowed down stopped vearing back and forth and drove like a good little girl. Worked once maybe it'll work twice.
