I admit, I'm judgemental

This post has rolled around in my mind for a LONG time, but for one reason or another I never actually create it.  Maybe it's because by posting this I am admitting something negative.  I can be a bit judgmental.  Now really, who isn't sometimes?!  But there, it's out.  I admit.  One of the biggest things I judge is what car you drive.  Now I'm not a snob.  9 out of 10 cars don't bother me.  Alright maybe 7 out of 10.  ;) 

The highest offender on my list? 

*drum roll please*

You were surprised weren't you?  ;) 

I HATE Hummers.  I immediately pass judgment on their drivers too.  Seriously, what statement are you making other than I'm better than you or look at me, ME, ME, ME. 

At the top of my hatred of all Hummers are the yellow ones.  They are just obnoxious and scream for attention more than any of the others, in my humble opinion. 

I have also passed one Hummer around here which is one of the H2 beasts with a roof rack.  A ROOF RACK!?!  Yesterday I passed that one again.  It looks so funny.  Roof racks on normal cars take up a large portion of the roof.  On this beast it took less than half the roof.  But seriously, if there is one thing that these monstrosities should have it's storage.  Who needs a roof rack on a Hummer H2?!  I tried getting a picture but again we were at a stop light on opposite sides and I couldn't manage it without crossing the line of being unsafe. 

I think in total I passed 5 of these yesterday and one on the way home from dropping K-Girl at preschool this morning.  Why so many people choose to drive these is beyond me.  How so many people can afford to fill them with gas to be driving them is also beyond me.  I'm not asking that you trade your H2 in for a Prius, but come on are you serious?  Oh and just because you drive an H3 doesn't mean I think much more of you. 

Next on my list is...

Muscle cars.  Now this one must come with a stipulation.  I don't think less of you just for driving a muscle car UNLESS you drive it like a teenage boy that just got their license and wants to impress his buddies.  If you do this I will roll my eyes and typically mutter an insult under my breath.  Sorry but my hearing is more important than your stupid flashy car and when you cut me off I fantasize about rear-ending your stupid car (if my children weren't in the backseat). 

I believe it was last year or the year before we were at Rita's and this idiot in a muscle car of some sort drives by and it was so loud it HURT.  It terrified my daughter.  Why is this necessary?  I am pretty sure that more people wonder what you are compensating for rather than, wow that guy is cool.

And what is worse than muscle cars is a wanna be muscle car.  If you do a car up nicely and tastefully I am all for it, but there are way too many cars out there that it seems like they take off the muffler, put a huge wing on the back and want to race.  I absolutely hate these cars.  9 out of 10 times I believe that the car straight out of the dealership would look MUCH better than what work you had done to it.  And if you make it loud, you better do it right.  And please people, stop doing these injustices to Volkswagens.  It's just not right.

This picture should speak for itself, but WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY?  Number one, if you have a big honkin' truck you should NEED a big honkin' truck.  You should have something to haul or tow or something that requires it.  Next, pollution is not cool no matter how much better it makes you feel about yourself. 

Other than that I swear whatever you drive is most likely fine by me.  Just whatever you drive, don't be stupid.  Use your turn signals when you plan on turning your car.  They aren't there just to add another little gadget to look perty.
