When I was driving the 300SDs, aggressive drivers never bothered me. If they were tailgating, a little brake and gas pedal together would flash the lights and create a nice black smelly cloud. No more problem.

Now with $4.30 diesel, 90+ degree temps and no time to fix the A/C in the Benzes, I'm driving a car so small I can rest my elbow on the roof when I'm standing next to it. I've become very aware of aggressive drivers.

I'm not talking about the driver in the fast lane doing 90 wanting me to move over when I'm doing 80. No problemo. I'm talking about when all lanes are backed up doing the same slow speed, some idiot drives inches from your back bumper like if you speed up, the car 10 feet in front of you will disappear.

Is it just me, or have you noticed that most vehicles that drive inches from your back bumper are driven by fat ugly women. The bigger the vehicle, the bigger and uglier the woman driving it.

Is it any coincidence that most Hummers are bought by women?

I'm going to try and get a custom bumper sticker (to put in my rear window) that says "Fugly Fatties Tailgate". That might give some thought to those on my bumper.
