When I'm in the truck, it seems like every TD&H with a 3/4 ton Ram wants to race which I want no part of. I've got a 6.2 which wouldn't win a race with itself.

There was a guy in a SD with logos for an air compressor company all over it driving like a royal douche on my way to work recently, tailgating people and weaving in and out of lanes with a huge Miller welder in the bed pulling a two axle utility trailer. He almost rear-ended me one day so I called the company. The lady said all their trucks have GPS telemetry and that they would definitely take care of it. Don't know what happened but I haven't seen the truck since LOL.

Another thing I notice is that cars want to pass no matter how fast I'm going because they can't see around it...and I get it having owned a VW TDi before. I hated not being able to see around the vehicle in front of me and with a car, that's pretty much everything. Another reason I like the truck.

Hey Saratoga, you're right, lots of people want to get in front of me so they can see better. I make an effort to let those types around me if I have figured out that that's what they're after. As long as a person doesn't hurt the flow of traffic, I don't care if they need to be in front of me. It's the ones that drive in the left lane or drive inconsistent speeds that are a problem.

I need to get off my behind and make signs. I want bumper stickers that say-

DRIVE on right
PASS on left

Carl - I felt pretty stupid when that whole thing was over and have managed to keep my cool ever since...

I want this sign for the back of my camper!

I hear you, Randy. Many of us would have enjoyed doing the exact same thing.

I like that sign.

"Especially the cumm-ons boys with their huge fart pipe exhaust and ghost trailer mirrors. "

I laughed out loud when I saw that! My neighbor has a Ram Cummins and his exhaust pipe is big enough to shove a basket ball in. Never could understand the reasoning behind it, except he is 15 years younger than me.

You know, on this site, we really like pictures. I for one would like to see the basketball shoved in the tailpipe please. Be sure to shove it far enough in where it isn't visible to him when he gets to the truck, and leave it there!

C'mon now, not all of the Cummins guys are bad. Hell around here there are more douche bags driving SuperDuties than there are Rams. In fact there's a family of said douche bananas living right around the corner from me. They have 4-5 SuperDuties ranging from 99-15 and they're all deleted, lifted, and running skinny tires on fat wheels (14.5" tire on 10" wheel). Mom, dad, 2 sons and a daughter, and they all drive the same way.

I've got an old 1st gen cummins Ram (40hp injectors is the only mod) as well as my stock '15 F250 sitting in the driveway and apparently they feel threatened or something because every time one of them passes my house because all I hear is "Doooouuucheeee" coming out their 8" exhaust tip. It's so comical I've thought about starting a youtube channel for them.

I'd take a dozen cummins guys over this family of inbred brainless fools.

I agree. There are plenty of SD and Duramax Douchebags around as well. But the RAM to Douche Bag ratio is much higher than it is with other brands for sure.

There is this guy that lives down the street from me that has something like a 15" lift on his 2000ish 7.3 SD and he felt the need to replace all his front headlights with LED light bars (that arn't aimed or designed to be headlights). He than blares them at all the wrong times.

Wonder if we could collectively start a thread specifically dedicated to those "douche bag type" post up some pics/videos and a reason why they're douche bags, lol
