Jalopnik's 10 Most Annoying Groups of Car Owners

The ten most annoying groups of car owners

and no, Mercedes owner's didn't make the list, but one of my favorites:

The whole point of Jeeps is going offroad, so why do you meet every week in a parking lot? Actually, why do you never get offroad? For every die hard fan who keeps taking Jeeps offroad even with a major mechanical failure every twenty minutes, there are a dozen Call of Duty playing poseur bros to give them a bad name.

Clearly the fine folks at Jalopnik haven't done their homework.

Clearly have forgotten about Prius and Miata owners.
I've owned both...

Pt cruisers made the list, that's all I care about. Though Miata clubs drive me nuts too.

Hahahahaha... I'm mostly guilty for the Jeep thing, I take it on the trails once a year, the rest is mall-crawling.. To be fair, it's also been very useful for huge snowfalls.

I'm surprised Mazda wasn't on there.. So many meets with a huge-line of mazda 3s that think they're special.

I simply can not believe that Prius owners did not make the top of that list. I think it pretty clearly indicates the author owns one, or his boss does!

Yes, pretty much on a daily basis. Usually in the left/HOV lane.

I question the validity of any list that doesn't have BMW drivers firmly ensconced in the number one spot (TC and Jim being the exceptions, of course! ).

the title of the article is flawed. Should be the 10 most annoying groups of car enthusiasts that meet regularly.

For me going with the way it is written, i was assuming groups as in drivers and road use.

For me #1 is Nissan Maxima and Altima owners less than 10 years old

I saw a BMW yesterday getting off the turnpike. It was behind a semi-truck in the right turn only lane that merged onto another highway BMW owner saw fit to go into the shoulder and pass the semi-truck as it was making the right hand turn.

I always seem them flying down the left hand lane on the turnpike. I hate those cars. And that Nissan Juke? I'm pretty sure they've succeeded in dethroning GM's Pontiac Aztek.
