Saturn or Saab

[pbureau@attbi.com (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

dude you should never try to drive in texas,

Ford, GM, and Dodge pickup truck (not to mention the 1 ton twin wheel 3500
series truck) drivers
are far worst to be afraid of because they perform everything you said, but
with a 6 horse trailer and at 90MPH.
hehehe.. saturns, they are too busy didging the truck to be worried about
them, and last time I saw a saab, a 3500 had ripped a new arse on it with
its "indestrutible big ass full fledge rammming bumper+steel grill that
would take a 10ft thick wall at full speed on).


Patrick (in texas.. a rocco is really a small car on the highways around
here... why I have enhanced brake system and have over 400w of european high
beams, not to mention 310w of regular driving beams.)

=>It seems to me that each auto manufacturer attracts a certain type of
=>personality to its vehicles.
=>
=>I find the general pool of Saturn drivers to have somewhat of a chip on
=>the shoulder and willing to race anything apparently without any
=>knowledge of what they are competing against (for example:  Porsches and
=>Corvettes are _faster_ than a stock Saturn for any of you Saturn owners
=>out there who might happen upon this rant.  No, really, I'm not
=>kidding!).  My old Jetta with 86 hp, maybe 90 with the head to tailpipe
=>exhaust, was faster than all of the early ones but can get beaten by a
=>new/newer Saturn if the driver is any good.  (which almost segs in to
=>the question for you all, but I haven't slammed Saab drivers yet).  One
=>last thing about Saturn drivers:  They can look you straight in the eye
=>and switch lanes anyway with only 8.5" clearance.  Why?  because that's
=>their exit.  They wait until there is no more than 42' until the exit
=>and decide it's time to cut over 2 lanes, driving on the striped median,
=>narrowly missing the barrier and exiting.
=>
=>Saab drivers?  A Saab driver may do the same manuever, except for one
=>fundamental difference:  they are completely unaware of the fact (or
=>worse, don't give the slightest damn) there are other people on the
=>road.  The only reason they haven't died in a bad wreck is 100% reliance
=>on the defensive skills of other drivers and a good deal of lady luck.
=>Blinkers, signs, pavement markings and  traffic lights are of no use to
=>a Saab driver -- a little bit too "pedestrian" for their tastes.  Let
=>the common folk pay heed, not them.
=>
=>Oh but, interestingly enough, should someone like you or I manage to
=>offend one, watch out!  They will chase you down to Mexico if they have
=>to, to pass you/prove a point/give you the finger/whatever.  When this
=>happens I smile, because I was able to help a fellow driver in a Saab
=>recognize there was at least one other driver on the road besides
=>him/herself.
=>
=>OK, so which driver sucks worse?
