My "Pontiac Grand Am Drivers" Theory

Hey all,

I'm writing this to see if anyone else has noticed this, or if it is just me. Lately, over the course of the last year or so, I've noticed a lot more Pontiac Grand Am/Prix drivers out there. It looks like most of these are kids and or young adults with severe lead feet. It's almost like all the client base from Saturns have shifted over to Pontiacs, due to how cheap these Pontiacs are.

These drivers are by far the worst on the road. They are right up there with people that put Jesus fish on their cars as far as bad drivers go. Back when all these bad drivers drove Saturns it wasn't bad because they drove 4 bangers without any horsepower. Now they are armed with these "cutting-you-off" machines. Not only that, they don't pay attention at lights (cell phones, CD players, makeup), create a 5 car gap between them and the car in front of them when the light turns green, stomp on their souped up engines to close the gap, and I have to use about 2 gallons of gas to keep up and keep from having 3 other cars from the other lane duck in front of me. Apparently, turn signals are an expensive option with these turd cars as well.

Very irritating and I'm wondering if these cheapass POS Pontiac drivers are driving anyone else nuts...

I guess the bright side is that it's a Pontiac, so I only have to deal with these things for another couple years before they all break and the "bad driver" crowd moves on to a new make and model - hopefully back to something a little slower.

I haven't specifically noticed Grand Ams being any worse than anybody else around here.

My two observations have been:
1) Nissan Altima - you've never seen one with the trunk key cover down

2) If I see a vehicle doing something REALLY reckless and selfish - 99 times out of 100 the driver is a black woman. Call me a racist asshole if you want to... but I stay the HELL away from black women drivers when I see them.

Ok, so it isnt just me.

Someone care to move this to the clubhouse where it belongs?

Auditor_Kevin,

Pardon my french,but,"you're an asshole".

I was going to let the comments about Grand Am's slide but then you just had to throw the Grand Prix's in the mix. :rolleyes:

Just for the record,like Xterra's, BMW's, and pretty much all other cars or trucks there is a wide range of performance and pricing in various lines.

My wife has a Grand Prix GTP Daytona which was not cheap and is one of the best performing cars out there, she drives it as such and if shmoes (spelling?) like you can't handle it she figures you ought to just piss off. I agree.

And why the hell do you "use 2 gallons of gas to keep up an keep 3 others form cutting you off"? You got a case of the small penis so I'll drive my slow truck harder than I should syndrome?

Maybe you should stop crying crybaby: and buy a Viper or some other big penis car with some power so you won't feel so small when you get cut off or beaten at a light.

Jeez, what a putz.

Hmmmmm....that's a pretty ambitious statement.

Oh, and next time you stand up, check your ass - I'm pretty sure you'll find something stuck up there. :p

Your head searching for dingleberries?

No shit ! I call them angry saturn drivers because they drive like they have a chip on their shoulder about not being able to afford a proper car.

"I was going to let the comments about Grand Am's slide but then you just had to throw the Grand Prix's in the mix."

It's not so much the Grand Prix's as the Grand Am drivers (just because they are about the cheapest cars on the road now). Although I find that both contain drivers that are the bottom of the barrel, mostly due to the immaturity of the drivers - your post doesn't do much to dispute this. Obviously, not EVERY SINGLE person driving one of these things is a bad driver. C'mon, you're better than that.

"Just for the record,like Xterra's, BMW's, and pretty much all other cars or trucks there is a wide range of performance and pricing in various lines."

Not exactly sure what you mean by that, but if it's that there are bad drivers of all cars - agreed. But there are more bad drivers in cheap cars.

"And why the hell do you "use 2 gallons of gas to keep up an keep 3 others form cutting you off"? You got a case of the small penis so I'll drive my slow truck harder than I should syndrome?"

I have to keep up so other cars don't cut in front of me and behind your wife who can't keep up with traffic! What's so hard to understand here?

As for any Pontiac being "high performance", I guess that is in the eye of the beholder. I will say that the only thing that compares to the screaming of a Pontiac engine at high speeds is the sound your wife makes when she rides my "small penis".

My wife says "look out" whenever she sees someone coming / going by in an XTERRA! She says we drive like we are the only ones on the road. Really, around here, the dangerous ones are typically those in the dually pick-ups...They have the attitude that they are so fast. Go figure!!!

Oh, and my 55+yr old co-worker has a Grand Prix Supercharged Daytona 500 Pace Car model that he drives the heck out of...LOOK OUT! He was just talking about racing another guy here in his 350Z coming to work...Dusted that 350Z.

I never knew that having a Jesus fish on your car automatically made you a bad driver.

The 350Z guy must not have a clue how to drive.

"the GTP scoots from 0-60 mph in an estimated 6.7 seconds"

I've never heard an engine say "is it in yet?" or "is it supposed to be so soft?"
:p

And I'll stand by the Pontiac being high performance. Unless it goes up against a Vette, Viper, or other high performance rear wheel drive car it smokes everything on the road (got to admit though I hate the amount of torque steering it produces when doing so)

Unlike the supercharger in my X the Pontiac's produces pure seat of the pants speed and acceleration when you go WOT.

I missed your part about the drivers causing a gap first and then accelerating, I assure you my wife never leaves a gap...................... all you ever see is the ass end of her car getting smaller by the second.

PS Audit............ Thank you sooooooooooooo much for actually having a sense of humor and sending it right back, so much more fun than people who get seriously bent over the littlest things around here!

0-60 in 6.7 seconds...That is not very quick in my mind at all. It is all relative to one's personal experience really.

They raced on the highway for some distance at speeds of up to 120 MPH. The guy with the 350 rold him later that he could not even keep up with him. I really would not know about the driving ability of that guy but my friend is of a lot of experience with older "hot rod" type cars from what we have talked about over the years.

OK, maybe off to the ALR with this thread then...

i never going to buy an other brand than nissaN or infiniti and from ford the famous mustang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!chevy never is a cheap car

i have a 2003 maxima 3.5 255hp is realy fast

So you drive a 20003 Xterra and a 4X2 is the only what you need? Sounds good to me.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that his English is better than your Spanish.

That's not what he said, you ignorant wretch.

Hmmmmmm.

So you drive a 20003 Xterra and a 4X2 is the only what you need? Sounds good to me.

Does that not appear to be a sarcastic attempt at fucking with him for his typing/language deficiencies ?

Well it did to me and I commented as such. Ignorant wench? Please explain.

Sounds like you all the way, Patrick . . .

Pardon me, but didn't he call you an ignorant wretch? 'Splain that one, Graham.

Don't give a fuck what the original put-down was.

Patrick wanted someone to explain ignorant wench.

So I did.

Along the same lines of "bad driving"...why is it so important for you to "keep up?"

If the room is there, why shouldn't they be able to "duck in?"

Allow me to explain, Graham.

My commute to and from work is much like everyone elses here - stop and go traffic all the way. So when someone 'ducks in front of me', I'm essentially giving up my place in line to make it through the next light. I'm not a dick to anyone, where I won't let them in when they need to get in my lane; but on the other hand, I don't want some other guy having a faster commute at my expense when he takes my place in line and makes it through the yellow and I get the 2 minute red light that allows two minutes worth of more traffic in front of me. I'm just trying to make the next lingering green light, that's all.

For those of you that aren't familiar with Number41's comment "that's not what he said, you ignorant wretch". It's a quote from one of the best movies of all time - TOMBSTONE.

"How 'bout you.....you retired?"

"Not me.....I'm in my prime."

I could go on and on...

"But I can't be a rascist, I don't even drive a fast car.."
"Dudes got penis on the brain, and appearantly, he's bi-lingual"
"Not for nuthin', but where I live, it does... "

Do you ever go fishing at the Dundee Dam? I caught my first fish there as a child, a 16# carp.. I remember my father catching big(10-20#) cahnnel cats there too.

Freudian Slip on SocalpunX's part.

You would be correct, congratulations.

Sorry. That was a movie reference, no offense intended.

Back on track;
The Grand Prix/Am drivers are pissed because the Trans Am was killed off.

Let's have a moment of silence in memory of the screaming chicken............................

DBAX.................



Thanks for playing!

In my neck of the woods it seems like all the asshole drivers regardless of what they are driving have a flag sticker or one of those flags that hang off the rear view mirror of whatever country they came from or descended from, and it seems that none of them have learned the rules of the road here in America. I won't go into what countries, but in my opinion there are some customs and laws that people should learn when they come to a new country and how to drive like everyone else should be one them!

PS Tombestone was an AWESOME movie!

Well, not to drive my theory into the ground or anything, but my co-worker just got into an accident on the expressway when some idiot in his Pontaic Grand Prix lost control and he slammed into the side of her car. She flew into the divider. She's alright, the Mustang she was driving looks totaled.

The driver of the Grand Prix said he was "fixing a loose window" when he lost control.

I think this is becoming less of a theory, and more of a dangerous fact.....

Dude in Oklahoma it is mini vans and church vans. Seems like about one a week a church van is run over by a mini van. Soccer moms in a hurry, drinking a diet coke talking on the cell phone.

It is probably a close race between them and Bubba in his Z71 with 10 inch lift.
