"MF 4"

What am I supposed to think?
You should think that particular person has obviously not been taught how to drive or is intentionally being A-hole. The point I was trying to make to you earlier, is that this person would drive just as poorly in a Honda Civic as in the Escalade. If you have a problem with this person, you get no arguements from me. It's when you start projecting HIS habits and stereotyping other Escalade owners that I strongly disagree with.

So over the last 3 years you have have had two incidents with Escalade owners that really stick out. I see crappy driving at least 3-4 times a day, as I am sure you are. I would say to have 2 over that time period is a pretty low percentage. How many mid-size cars have you seen drive like Muleheads over the same time frame?

For instance today, on the way home I saw a Ford Truck weaving from one lane to the next and cutting people off so he could hurry up and get to where ever it was he needed to be. Then right behind him came a Honda Accord and a BMW M3 doing the exact same thing. I think the Honda was even a little more reckless in his manuevers. What did I think. I thought all 3 were a bunch of retards, regardless of the vehicle they were driving in.
