These Are The Cars That Make You Instantly Lose Respect For The Driver
From squat little Infinitis to SUVs that claim to be coupes, here's the cars you just can't get behind.
Both respect and disrespect is earn with enough experience. Earlier this week, we asked you what cars make you say "of course," when they cut you off. The kind of car owned by someone camping out in the left lane doing exactly the speed limit. The ones that make you roll your eyes at the sight of their badges.
For me, I always keep a close eye on any Camrys or Jettas in my vicinity. But for you, it ranges from the politically deranged to overpriced exotics. Check out what y'all came up with:
The Vanafesto
Any car that's all Trumped-out. You know the one. Trump bumper stickers, Trump Flags, hand-written Trump pronouncements. You just know that the driver is someone you never want to sit next to at a party.
From Kidney Grille, others.
Lifted, Not Gifted
Any lifted full size pickup.
Please, talk to your doctor about micropenis. There are effective treatments, you don't have to do this to yourself

I Think They Look A Little Constipated
Wrangler with the "angry face" grille.
Choices were obviously made, and they were the wrong ones.

Off The Beaten Path
A brand-new Infiniti QX80. There are so many better choices out there, and by "so many other choices" I mean "literally anything else". I had the (dis)pleasure of driving one of these as a rental car and it is just as big on the outside, small on the inside, ungainly, and overpriced as I expected.
I guess if you really hate owning money as much as you hate cars, this would be a great option to kill two birds with one stone. I, however, like both, so I could give you some advice if I didn't already think you had more money than brains.

Speedy Little Prius
Prius when it is going more than 80mph on the freeway. You buy a car designed around good gas mileage and then you push the limits of the ICE engine in it at speed on the freeway defeating the purpose of good gas mileage.

SUV? Coupe? Whatever It Is, It Is Not Worthy Of Respect
Most SUV coupes – someone chose to pay more for a less practical, uglier version of the landcow sitting across the showroom.

The Car That Says “I Have No Idea What I’m Doing”
If you drive this, you're either:
1. Someone who can't be bothered to research your car purchases, otherwise you'd have a Civic
2. Know exactly what this is, in which case you're just an insufferable contrarian.
From Jordmaniac
Gee, That’s Quite The Benz
The older I get, the more allergic I am to vehicles solely meant to flaunt wealth.
Of these, I think the luxury SUV which never leaves pavement pulls the most disdain from me. The worst being a Mercedes G-Wagon. You can smell the cologne as it drives by. This is someone paying the price of a modest house in the midwest for what is basically a tarted up, obsolete, military vehicle.

We Don’t Sexualize Cars Here, Sir
Truck sporting a scrotum dangling from the trailer hitch.
Honorable mention: Any vehicle camping in the left lane.

The Exception That Proves The Rule
Miata's with automatic transmissions. It's the only time Miata isn't the answer.

Confession In The Comments
I'd like to tell you that I drive a Hummer H2 and when not using it for back country rescues, drive blind orphans to chamber music recitals on weekends. I'd like to tell you that, but since it's not true, I won't.

Oy, These Guys
Anything that is, intentionally, rolling coal. There is zero reason for it other than being a jerk. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries. I fart in your general direction.

New And Fancy? No Thank You
Pretty much every brand-new exotic. And conversely, I gain respect for guys I see driving 10 year or older exotics. The former have money, the latter have passion.

Slide Title
Phantom vehicles at night: Often Nissan Rogues or Mazda CX-5's with just their DRL's, driven by clueless sheep, typically hogging the left lane, doing everything except driving. Clueless to the world around them and the danger they're in riding around in the dark.
Just leave the stalk on "AUTO."
