My dad sent me a link to an article about that. He has a 97 Corvette, and noted the Corvette is like 4 hundred and something on the list....I told him it's because GTO owners drive their cars like they're supposed to be driven, and Corvette owners are a bunch of old farts

Lots of very aggressive Prius drivers out there, I've seen a fairly high percentage of them speeding in my travels both on the highways and city streets.
Impeding traffic in a few cases, but surprisingly enough most of them are speeding. |

Yeah, I got stuck behind a caravan of Priuses on the Mass Turnpike coming out of Boston one Friday night. The poor things couldn't pull a rather shallow uphill climb with 4 larda%#es and all their gear, headed to the Berkshires for the weekend. I got so disgusted with the other drivers that I pulled into the far left lane(something I never do), set my cruise for 85mph (a speed I never drive) and got as far away from the dolts as I could.

How ugly were they? From Wikipedia: "Autoblog, Jalopnik, and Cars.com all confirmed that Subaru has informed its dealers that production on the Tribeca will end in January 2014 due to slow sales, as Subaru has sold just 78,000 Tribecas since 2005, making it one of the worst-selling vehicles in the US in 2011 and 2012; in 2013, only 1,247 Tribecas were sold in the first nine months,[8][9] and placed seventh among the worst selling vehicles in the United States for the 2013 model year."
Other than that, they were the perfect car for a barn door stop.

+1 on this, seems like the worst drivers I have seen either drive little econoboxes or giant 4x4 trucks

Mercury Topaz Suzuki Reno (I've never even heard of that car. I'm pretty sure Suzuki stopped making cars several years ago.) VW Rabbit? Seriously - they haven't made that car since the '80's.

I'm not surprised the Prius and Topaz are on there. I surprised there aren't more slugs on there, Heck it takes a half hour to go from 80 to 90mph in those things, provided you could pull off 90mph. What cop wouldn't get ya driving 80mph for a half hour? It not fair really, a Trans Am could do 100 in a few seconds.
It could be said that the average Prius spends more accelerating than other cars. Buy a Prius and accelerate more than others.

speeding, parking, and lots of other stuff basically moving/parking violations plus other stuff depending on the state (no front plate, taillights out, et cetera)
