Top 10 DB Cars...

Okay, so I found this on the internet and thought it'd be funny to share.
DISCLAIMER: The opinions reflected in this "article" are not neccessarily those of the Original Poster. If you own one of these cars and are "thin-skinned" or easily "e-raged" please do not read further....



..10 Maserati: This car is in the number 10 spot only because of their lack of prescence on the road. Typical of a mid-30s douchebag, these cars can be found with their either wealthy or stupidly indebted owners driving like complete morons in thick midday traffic. When they aren't trying to impress high school sophomores with their rad fake ferraris they can be found laying black marks into onramps and nearly taking out soccer moms when they fail to signal while playing NASCAR on the highway.

..9 Civic Si: While most civics are owned by sensible motorists just wanting cheap transport, a small group of teenage douchebags, empowered by the fantastic scenes of speed in The Fast and the Fictious have decided that one car stands above all else as a powerhouse road rocket. They have chosen the anemic Civic Si to show the rest of the commuting world just who's boss. With it's stunning 170 HP, these buzzfarting pests can be seen slowly bumbling through traffic, racecar style, sometimes passing on shoulders and turn lanes to prove their macho vehicles are faster than anything they happen to pass, most of the time when no "race" of any sort is taking place.

..8 BMW 3-Series: Everyone's encountered these douchebags on the road. Yuppie with a cell phone up to his ear, crappy eurotrash technomusic blaring, chinese knock-off designer sunglasses on and a pink polo shirt with the collar popped like a pro. This metro douchebag has only one thing on his mind when he's driving, and that's proving how big a douchebag he really is to any and all drivers on the road. When you are at an intersection with a lane that ends, he will try to race you to get in front of you, when you are doing 15 over on the freeway, he will pretend to be agitated and floor his mighty 220 HP mill to flyby you and show that his vehicle is meant for autobahn speeds. Apparently the warranty as a clause about a free replacement vehicle if the car is damaged while running a red light or stop sign, regardless of age or mileage, so be careful when these crowning douchebags pull their ultimate driving machine up to the line, they might just cross it!

..7 Dodge Ram: This list wouldn't be complete without the country douchebag cousin. Out of all the trucks, none has spurned a douchebag craze like the Hemi toting ram. With it's big grille, sunburnt, dirty, tattoo'd arm hanging out the window, and a confederate flag adorning the rear window, this truckload of douchebaggery will bear down on any little car that happens to be in front of them, tail gating them until they can snarl their overstressed engine to gradually pass by. Loud and awful sounding exhausts along with gun racks and cam seat covers are common place on these rural douche haulers. Just make sure you have a decent bit of distance between these tailgating SOBs if you decide to brake check these lunatics, trucks aren't known for their ability to stop.

..6 Trans-Am: A hardy choice for a midlevel douchebag, Trans-ams are notorious for their owners complete lack of self control when it comes to showing off their badass plastic muscle car. Revving their obnoxiously loud engines at anything with 4 wheels and an audible engine, these douchebags are always looking for a chance to show off their douchebaggery. More often than not, some slack-jawed yokel, upon being called such, will utter phrases like "well what do you drive" or "my ****'s faster'n yours". This boondock douchebag call, while not limited to trans-am drivers, is often followed by a big burnout , no matter how thick the traffic is, and a middle finger. It should be noted, these douchebags appear to network with other douchebags to form douche convoys.

..5 Camaro SS: The companion douchebag to the trans-am, these ****y bastards have taken a notch above the trans-am because of the ego boost their SS badge gives them. SS, standing for Super Small, is a reference to their ***** size. Often the SS douchebag (lol sounds like a ship full of pussies) will try to show off for his inbred girlfriend by racing vehicles that aren't acknowledging a race, or participating in the douchebaggery of trans-am owners, as stated above. On top of burnouts, donuts, and being obnoxious, they firmly believe the SS badge of their Camaro gives them super powers over other Camaros, even V8s, inspite of a weight difference not over come by the marginal power difference.

..4 Mustang Cobra: The crowning douchebag of the V8, the Mustang Cobra reigns supreme in their ****like douchebaggery. Cobra douchebags suffer from a Napoleonic complex that their cars are the greatest vehicles ever made. The fact that can be fast is the primary fuel for this ego. However, when these douchebags are bested they fall back on a douchebag cliche as old as time. People who think their car sucks are jealous of it, and wish they could afford the bourgeois pricetag of a $27000-$30000 car. They are also prone to excuse making, from the design of the car, to the fact that some of these douchebags just don't know how to drive them. These are all excuses levied to try and quell the flood of criticism of the small-*****, arrogant douchebag when they try to show off more than they are able.

..3 Subaru STi: The douchebag mobile for the 21st century is here. Complete with a simulated ***** enlarging function that gives the owners of these fugly shopping carts with engines the feeling they are more masculine than they truely are. Again spouting claims of jealous or inability to afford a cheap japanese import, the drivers of these cars are the first all-weather douchebags of the list. Because of mass advertising campaigns, the pinheaded morons driving these cars seem to think that any day, rain, snow, shine, or 3" of glaze ice is race day and will not hesitate to prove this to you, even if it means slamming into a telephone pole on a winter day. On top of that, the turbocharged engine gives these ***** a sense of superiority over other vehicles that don't have turbochargers. The douchebags brag about these fascinating pieces of technology, even if they haven't a clue how they work.

..2 Mitsubishi EVO: Thanks to a mass marketed hype, Mitsubishi was able to jump into the douchebag market with the Mitsubishi EVO, an ugly piece of junk that can best be described as a turbocharged chinese takeout box. Because of the hype and aura surrounded by these douchemobiles, their owners think their cars are invincible, able to best every and any car on the road or track, inspite of reality. Again jealousy is an issue with the owners of these rolling dumpsters because we all know people just wish they owned a $30000 Lancer with a hopped up engine. Additional "technology" features (including a massive wing inversely proportional to the owners ***** size) attract quasi-intelligent douchebags to these cars because they can pretend to explain how all the useless marketing features actually make their cars fast. Through extensive douchebag networking, a random douchebag always knows some other douchebag who is a friend of a douchebag with an Evo that runs single digits in the quarter mile. This information is bogus, and often imparted by a douchebag trying to impress non-douchebags about a hyped up douchemobile that he doesn't own. Races with these uber-fast EVOs never materialize either. Fortunately, the hype on these vehicles is fading away, but egos remain higher than ever as a result, with douchebags desperate to prove how badass they can be by racing anything on the road.

and now...

The Number 1 Douchebag Vehicle of All

Dodge Neon SRT4
: The ultimate in douchebaggery vehicles. A worthless turd of a vehicle, slapped together by the company that brought you the Ram, comes a douchemobile of unimaginable proportions. There is not a single owner of these vehicles that isnt faithful to the douchebag way of life. Whether it's talking up their slow piece of crap and never running it, making every excuse from the douchebag rolodex of BS reasons why they won't race or lost a race, or simply doing childish douchebag things like weaving, blowing through redlights, flooring it at every opportunity, burnouts in traffic, revving at cars two lanes over and in front of them, racing in traffic, nearly rear ending cars, losing control and flying off a road while attempting to race a car that wasn't race, NASCAR impersonations, trying to show off to their ugly girlfriend how macho they are by being a complete moron, pretending parking lots are rally tracks, and thinking they have the fastest car ever built, SRT4 owners do it all. They are world class, award winning, grade A douchebags that need to be stomped, laughed at, outrun, and outdone in every car related anything they bring their pieces of crap too. Even Dodge thought they created a douchebag monster they couldn't control so they axed it. Above it all, these douchebags are in intense denial about one thing: THEY DRIVE NEONS. Neons will never be cool, respectable, awesome, attractive, or have a legacy other than being pre-form scrap metal. Douche on SRT4 owners, douche on!

I've got money that says an S2000 or 350Z owner made this list. I didn't really find any of them funny, and lists like this should be funny IMO. I actually like all the cars on the list <shrugs>

Hey, I'm just glad they didn't mention the 8. But, even you gotta admit...that some of the above "descriptions" are grounded on atleast some empirical bases?

I never ever agree with a top ten list for anything, but I will be DAMNED I agree with the SRT4 part 1000% percent. The honda civic should be higher however.

Wink What, no RX-8?

Honorable Mention: Mazda RX-8
I'm sorry, what was that? ****ER Rotary Engine? These douchebags can't seem to get it through their heads that having the torque of a 4-cylinder, power of a 6-cylinder and fuel consumption of an 8-cylinder isn't a good thing. Add to that weak apex seals, flooding engines and out of control oil consumption and you get an engine that is more of a rapidly spinning design FLAW than triumph of technology. When somebody kindly points out to them that their car is slower than an SRT-4, their inevitable response is to "take it to the 'twisties'" -- never mind that a large majority of RX-8 owners will never see a track with curves and it is illegal to race other cars on public roads.


(Disclaimer: this is just an addition to point out how silly the original top-ten is using the same type of over-generalization and FUD or out of date information. I love my RX-8.)

Nice post! Its really funny. Not to mention there is some serious truth to nearly, if not all of those to be honest! I think The 350z is missing from that list as are a few others. One might say the supra should be on it too if the list was longer. Their owners rant about 1000hp dyno queens that have lag that can be counted in minutes and are never really that fast because of that. I think the ram one should just be "raised pickups" of all kinds though. Just to not be bias, i could also see the rx8 ones to about how we rant about the rotary being the best and how we have no real horse power and all that "best in twisties stuff" But again lets be honest, even if they did write one about us it couldnt be much worse then the Maseratis.

I've owned the #1 and #2 on the list. Uh oh.

There were a couple funny things on there. The Maserati one was classic and the SRT-4 demographic is worsening with each passing month of continued Dodge depreciation. There are definately some cars missing from there though. The Acura RSX crowd bugs. So does the Infiniti G35 crowd. To both you just want to scream, it's not that fast!!! The BMW 335i crowd is quickly joining the DB ranks too. At the gas station the other day I was lucky enough to be treated to a 5 minute history of German forced induction automobiles by a 335i owner. At the end of his diatribe I said only a few words and I was quickly on my way...your car has a Mitsubishi turbo.

LOL!

Yeah, someone should put in a few sentences about DBs who drive:
-s2ks
-350Zs
-RSXs
-'Vettes
-SUVs
-etc.

--Any takers? C'mon, I know there are a ton of articulate authors here? Don't make me ask Rotary God! We'll be reading for days.... (j/p RG, but not really )

350z......

350z

....the 350z crowd is quickly turning into the new century's mustang DB club. Owners full of spikey gelled out hair, italian flag stickers, and tight plain white t-shirts even though they are only 100 lbs is the newest trend to hit the DB market. With theie feathering tires, engine thats in every other nissan car, plus there is more space in your jean pockets than in the cars lack of glove box and trunk combined, its a DB recipe from the start. Its a hard hard DB life to face when you drive a car that looks like kermit the frogs head...

If the 350z had rear seats, some of us would have bought it instead of the 8. It is a great looking car.

Agreed. I love the sound and look of the 350z but suspension is meh. Didn't like it as much as RX-8 so no to 350z for me.

Try This

I tend not to race DB's. But the best thing to do is point and laugh histerically. It gets them so freakin' mad. Then they yell something. You laugh harder and have your friends laugh too. Then they try to speed off and then feel like the DB's they actually are.

P.S. A year ago I was doing this and the DB rear ended someone on the highway. ZINGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eh. I've written better rants. He overuses the word "douchebag." I agree with a lot of the points, but I feel it falls short of really ever being that funny. Also the trans am, mustang, and camaro could be combined into one. They all attract the same demographic.

One point I find hilariously true... SRT-4 owners HATE people calling their cars Neons, even though that's obviously what they are...
