Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

Noticed this recently on my commute - consistantly 10mph under the speed limit, can't drive in light rain, no turn signals, etc.

Discuss.

I concur.....

Re: Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

Corolla, Hyundai (Genesis excluded), and Kia drivers all appear to be comatose. Completely disengaged from the act of driving, they perform pathetically stupid acts which make it clear that driving is something they consider only worthy of as much attention and engagement as to infuriate and inconvenience as many of the people with which they share the road as possible. They pull out onto mayor roads in front of people going the speed limit without ever accelerating. They drive at least 5 under on the highway in the fast lane without ever realizing there is a massive line of cars behind them. They fail to realize this despite being passed angrily by dozens of other cars. Indeed they fail to realize that there are any other people on the road at all. They come dangerously close to causing massive accidents, only to be saved by the diligence and attention of good drivers, without ever realizing anything happened at all. They believe that going slower than all the other cars makes them much much safer drivers, that people who change lanes are racing, that because that if they can hear the engine rev, it must be bad for the car. To assume that the person behind the wheel is stupid or retarded is a mistake; that implies that they are conscious.

My girlfriend drives a red 04 Hyundai Elantra.
She uses her blinker, other than that your spot on.

Wow, I thought I was salty. :LOL:

Re: Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

I'm not amused.

Re: Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

d00d I drove the piss outta my 2000 5 speed Elantra I used hand signals as opposed to blinkers...oh im suich a flucktard

Pssh, you guys know you're the exception rather than the rule.

Re: Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

Do I really need to post another pic of my Kia rental?! :rolleyes:

Re: Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

Hahahaha the mudder!

Re: Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

maybe not, have you seen them driving? :confused: :lol:

Re: Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

we have a Corolla...we drive the isht out of it. Sorry stereotyping doesn't always work. ;)

i thought the title of this thread included "Hyundai"...not toyota.

Re: Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

read post 3 maybe? :rolleyes:

Re: Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

I think you have it wrong...I bet you ment SUV/minivan drivers. I don't see any Corolla, Kia, and Hyundai drivers like that on my commute. Jagoffs in Tahoes and caravans are a different story.

Re: Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

Around here, you stay the f%$# away from Buicks and Cadillacs... period!

Re: Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

Yea, my little list was clearly far too short. I'm really glad I'm gonna be getting a shorter commute in the next few weeks. Clearly mine has gotten to me.

Re: Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

:o Sorry about that, skimmed right over it. I drive a Hyundai everyday (my brothers) since my SVX is out of commission at the moment. I definitely drive the living p*ss out of it. But then again, it's not like the thing will coast at 60, your constantly on the throttle. So old ladies who are used to riding the brake would certainly tend to drive way too slow.

Re: Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

the other day I was behind one of these (while in my Corolla) and to put it nicely...I was screwed. We were going 10 under and waiting to go through intersections until there wasn't a car in sight. :mad::mad::mad: :angst:

I see a lot of lower middle class MILF's in Elantras around here so I make sure to always stop and take a look :lol::lol:

Re: Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

there is nothing to get enthusiastic about while driving a Hyundai or econobox of the like. To people who own these, driving is just a part of their day, its not fun, its not even enjoyable, so they just bear with it.

It just different people like different things but mostly everyone has to drive somewhere sometime, so naturally not everyone is going to like it and therefor they just do what they have to.

For me, I would take every turn on the edge of my contact patch and every green light like a drag race if I could because I am one of those who really enjoys it... Hell I would love to touch on my top speed of 185mph but the thing is, there are too many people who would be traveling too slow and I would be putting a lot of people in danger. not to mention the po po... but they cannot catch me:p

Re: Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

Don't you mean your governed top speed of 154 or did you already do some work on that? Even at 185 I still think they'd notice your Oakley's there Jerseyboy.;)

You still thinking about going to the Merc event there this Sept? Let me know if you do. I'll need new tires for spring so might as well wear these down before the snows go on.

Re: Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

I never got up to a speed to test the gov. I am relatively certain this model is not regulated... Thinking of making the event

My grandma still drives the 95 lumina I bought her 14 years ago. TH

Re: Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

I just bought a stage 1 chip and intake kit for my M3...its supposed to make the limiter go bye bye. XD

Re: Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

these are a given. Elantras are the new Oldsmobile station wagon.

Of course Accent's are OK, as long as you disguise them as a Subaru.

Why the current Accent looks so much better than anything Subaru offers at this time.

Re: Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

Did you click the link? Apparently this guy thought the same thing, but he still wanted Subaru's blue paint and WRC decals. I particularly love the "roof mural of a dragon with celtic wings-looks fresh not gay":lol:

Here's a link to the original Craigslist ad (while it lasts).

philadelphia.craigslist.org

This car takes "poser" to a whole new level.

Re: Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

which generation? most 2001-2006 models did not come with abs/tcs and they were a little squirrely in the rain. one of the reasons i traded my gt in.

Re: Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

I could do without the other drivers on the road.

Re: Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

Exactly, why would someone do that to a Hyundai which has cleaner lines then the car it is trying to emulate. Subarus have never been the prettiest cars out there but were always unique purposeful designs. Now they have hired all the laid off Pontiac team responsible for the Lemans and the Aztek.

Re: Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

its just a broad generalization - of course not ALL Elantra drivers are mouth-breathers - just most of them.


i can say for a fact, however, that all people from Wisconsin are goofy in the head.

Re: Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

Ugh FML. Brought the M5 in for service to a dealer today and needed a loaner while she is in... Hoping to get a 335i and thinking...worst I can do is a 325... They gave me a rental... 2010 Toyota Corolla...

There is nothing about this car that is nice... Not even good... Its just all bad. It does have a big trunk, I could potentially kill 10 hookers and stash their bodies in there quite easily though... So I guess there is an up note to this pile of plastic and glass

Tom

Re: Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

I think you need to find a new dealer. Back in High School when I'd take my 85 GL hatch in to get serviced I'd go home with a 740i. Service on a M5 who would have thought it?;)

Re: Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

I dropped off late in the day and all their loaners were out and their service lot was PACKED! I am just going to run the tires down as far as I can and hit ever pot hole in Northern NJ flat out:D

Re: Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

I do not agree with this hypothesis. :)

How often/how many hours are you on the road per day, Alan?
This is probably just your personal experience?

Most of the times, I'm on the road like 8 to 10 hours a day, sometimes even more or 17 hours a day. A lot of city drivings, based on my experiences, however, I do not see most elantra drivers as what you described.

For no turning signals or 10mph under speed limit, I would personally think that there're more like those "new" drivers or "senior" drivers on the road. Everyday, I will usually meet at least one or two drivers ahead of me as you described, it could be a buick driver, a legacy driver, a corolla driver, a mercedes benz..., a SUV..., all kinds of possible, in my opinions. You never know!

On a side note, there's actually a lot of Hyundai Elantras around. The more I look, the more I think they are beautiful. I don't mind considering gettting one if I'm looking for a not-too-big four dr sedan. Another note, most of the new hyundai/kia vehicles are really nice-looking. I don't know where are all the design trends going for toyota, honda, nissan.... . . . maybe Ford has some good-looking cars such as the coming fiesta.

Here's a picture of the coming next generation Hyundai Elantra picture! I would consider buying this if I want a new car in this category. LOOK how hot it is. :cool: If Honda, Toyota and Nissan don't do something nicer...their Sales would go down-south. Hearsay, this car is gonna have more horsepower than current model and again better mpg.

PS: I am not a Hyundai Salesman. If I am, I will probably be able to sell a lot of this. :cool:

Re: Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

Everything in this post is incorrect:p

Re: Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

They loan out 328's, 335's and z4 35i's here :)

Re: Hypothesis: Hyundai Elantra drivers are complete f***tards
 

you are comparing your 75k car to a 20k car? :lol: What are the chances that the 75k car might have a better interior in it. Hmmmmmm :p
