As an Auto-Bahner your Auto-Pilots make me sick. Stay off the freeways and major roads. Thanks. ;-)

[American Quilter]

Guess I'm an auto-pragmatic. I like the independence of driving, but for me the car is just a way to get somewhere. I used to speed, but got tired of getting tickets.

"Those who drive "fast" and "aggressively" and have little patience when other drivers make mistakes fall into the category of the "Auto-Bahner" personality.

Eighty percent of the drivers who identified with this group admitted to having driven 20 miles or more over the speed limit.

Understandably, Auto-Bahners were also the most likely to have been pulled over by law enforcement officials within the past five years"

You're bragging?!

[lilylangtree]

Used to be an auto-bahner but have calmed down a bit after a couple of accidents. I'm more auto-pragmatic with some leftover auto-bahner attributes.

[stylin19a]

ah...so you admit you drink and drive....

[1Old Pro]

Eighty percent of the drivers who identified with this group (Auto-Bahners ) admitted to having driven 20 miles or more over the speed limit.

O.K. that rules me out, what's the classification for folks who admit driving over 50 miles over the speed limit?

[GSlob]

Other major drivers groups are "paranoiacs", "maniacs" and "idiots" [the largest]. It perplexes me why these were omitted.

[Domicile of Doom]

I see they left out the all important Auto-Moron category. These people are generally everyone but me on the road.

[timydnuc]

Anybody that drives slower that me is an idiot, anybody that drives faster than me is a maniac. Simple!

[sheik yerbouty]

"Auto-pilots" are really "sidewalk Commandos" with wheels. most of them should be on the bus. Camry and mini van drivers are the worst offenders..

[HEY4QDEMS]

Well, I do drive a F-250, I have driven more than 20 mph over the speed limit, I do take care of my truck inside and out, I am rugged. I guess I'm a Metro-Auto- sexual-something or other. For the record, I don't really care about gas prices, I've seen the prices in Europe and Canada and I can only say thank God I live in the good ole USA.

I guess Ann Coulter plans on adding "Auto-Pragmatics" to her list of Democrat adjectives.

[RubyCosmos]

I appear to be Auto-Nomous, but drive a hand-me-down station wagon. (And my dream car is neither a pickup nor an SUV).

And I rarely, if ever, suffer from Road Rage, although I always tend to end up riding shotgun with people who do. I suffer from Parking Lot rage ... living in a tourist trap as I do.

Speaking of parking, be sure you never end up here.

They say that like it's a bad thing.

LOL! As a fellow Auto-Banner, I relate all too well. Most likely the Auto-Pilots drive mini-vans. Typically, when in front of you in the lane, will sit for 5-10 seconds before moving out on the green light. Always wonder if there is some sort of built-in delay hardwired in their brains.

[posterchild]

And the other 9%? 9% seems a bit much to be explained by rounding.

[Gil4]

I don't really fit well into any of the categories. I think the auto-matic might be the best fit, except the car I drive is hardly "distinctly styled," "attention-getting," "trendy" and "extravagant" (unless to consider the rust spots on my 1995 Opel Astra "attention-getting" and the Diet Coke cans scattered about "extravagant.")

I'm on the real Autobahn a lot more often than the Auto-bahner-wanna-be's, though. It's nice being able to "make good time" without worring about tickets, but after the first hour the first time it's no big deal. It's still kind of cool seeing the occasional Mercedes fly past at warp speed, though.

[MortMan]

When I die, I want to go peacefully, in my sleep. Just like my Grandpa.

Not screaming and yealling like the passengers in his car! ;-P

[highnoon]

Currently an Auto-Matic, with a genetic predisposition for -Bahnism. Funny, when I had 4 hondas in a row, then a slow pickup, I drove like a bat out of hell. Now that I have something very fast, I drive much more responsibly (94% of the time!!!). Or maybe I'm finally growing up.

[Jagman]

I think they missed some, namely Auto de fe (popular among "middle ages" drivers), auto-destruct (first phase of road rage) to Autopsy (final stage of road rage)!

[Obadiah]

There are two types of drivers, those who drive Buicks, and everyone else!

Although I really don't drink, I'm more like an Auto Bahner. I drive seriously and am constantly alert yet admittedly somewhat aggressive. I have the presence of mind and the visual depth perception that I DO NOT need to sit at a corner and wait until both horizons are completely clear before I move out!

One more thing you rubber neckers: Go rent a crash video from the safety of your couch and stop impeding traffic!

Whew! I feel better already.

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

I'm an excellent driver.
