Ross has an excellent list of ‘em, including:
7. Buick LeSabre
You’re stuck behind a car that is signaling right, but won’t move. You’re following a car going 20 in a 35. You’re shouting at the car in front of you, which refuses to turn right on red, despite the fact that there isn’t another car in sight. You are behind a 2004 Buick LeSabre driven by a person old enough to have known Ulysses S. Grant.
A good list all around, but I woulda found room on it for the Corvette. In fact, I was behind one the other day with the vanity license plate “URLookin,” driven by a nondescript, middle-aged, fat slob with a scruffy half-a-beard and a wispy mullet sprouting from various places on his mostly bald head. I was lookin’, all right, but not for the reasons he thought. And I already knew well enough just what I was going to see. You almost always do with those damned things. They’re like jerk magnets, although naturally there are exceptions here and there (a very close friend of mine being one of ‘em), and I do like some of the older ones myself.
