Study on the cars with the most reckless drivers

Remember those Ram TV commercials? "Yeah it's a hemi". Starting with the 50s Red Ram hemi and 60s 313 CID "poly" engine, except for blown applications or racing where fuel efficiency is not important, the no quench hemi is a bad cylinder head design.
Back when 89 WLS Chicago was a AM rock station, we used to hear **** Landy Dodge ads with 440 6-pack this and Hemi that.
Maybe Ram owners are stuck in 1969?
OMG **** Landy (with cigar) was EVERYWHERE for years. I think he raced everything that Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth produced.
 
In my area it's more about the gender of the driver rather than type of vehicle. Here, if I see a woman driver with her hair in a bun and wearing sunglasses, I know to stay as far away as possible...the vehicle type to watch out for here is definitely the Charger...
Especially if she has one of those fluffly little dogs with a pink ribbon on her lap, looking over the steering wheel.
 
Today on the Long Island Expressway in Queens, hardly a smooth road, I was passed by a car that was the most radically stanced car I have ever seen driving. The odd thing was he was driving about 60 miles an hour or more. I have seen people driving slammed or stanced cars who have to slow down every time they saw a bump, but this guy was not doing it. There could not have been a patch of tire contact with the road for the rear tires more than a half inch. Not sure how he avoided blowing out the rears during the minute or two I observed him. I couldn't take a picture without jeopardizing my own safety, but the camber of the rear wheels on this Honda Accord was similar to photo number 11 on this website:

and there could not have been more than a three millimeter clearance between the tire and the fender lip. Oddly the front wheels were relatively normal looking in stance.
 
Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and say that Darwin is trying to "help" him out. Hopefully that as*hat doesn't hurt anyone when his ball joints blow out. And his tires. And his CV joints. And his wheel bearings.

Where was the state police when you need them?!
 
Surprised Subaru WRX didn’t make the list. I guess it’s a regional thing.
Truth. My neighbor has one that he races. He tunes it next door and does pulls down the road past my house. Dog barks and runs around every time. Asked him to go one mile down the road with no housing, he basically told me to go fuk myself. I'm not calling the police, they could nail him speeding and equipment violations. I'm going to talk with his father in a calm, reasonable manner. I think I can get my friends plow jeep with no exhaust on it, and park it at the edge of his property line and my orchard and fire it up at 4 am for a few nights in a row. Off road, no noise ordinance and 4 times as loud as his wrx.

Don't get mad, get even.
 
Who knew anyone actually bought a VW CC? Kind of a biased study since it’s dependent on Reckless driving convictions. Moving violations are quite often plea bargained and wealthier drivers are going to fare better than less affluent drivers who can’t afford legal representation which probably explained the Izusu and Saturn representation on that list. Zero surprise on the Challenger, that’s the official car of jackassery on public roads.

Sorry DT. My friend bought his wife a convertible CC. I drove it for 30 miles, and I loved every min of it. Handles great, convertible was great. If I had the money I would buy an Audi TT (same thing I think) Just wonderful cars.. And yeah, it does not belong on this list.

What about Z28's? Vette's? M3's? Chevy 1500's?
 
It has long been a canon carved in granite among motorcyclists that Volvo drivers were the champs of careless threat to life. In a careless, not necessarily reckless, manner. I've never had any reason to doubt that at all. However, every motorist that I am certain was actually attempting to kill me has been in an Audi.

For extreme reckless "gonna kill everyone in my way" drivers, I'd say diesel truck boys and WRX drivers without cats or brains.

The Isuzu Rodeo on the OP's posted list was a chuckle. Until I remembered my stepson collecting two 90mph tickets with our '97 rodeo on a road trip to Fla. 15 years ago. First gen was a real SUV and likely not hard to roll over.

I had a Rodeo back in the day and remember having to slam on the brakes doing 80 on the freeway. I thought I was going to roll it, it was so unstable.
