How old are you?

No worries. It was just a silly assumption and quite a stretch at that.

Thank you for asking.

I find myself being more considerate to Honda drivers in general. Except the ricers!

I've done the Honda convoy thing with other 8th gens. I do that with a lot of things though in a sort of "separated at the factory but now together again" way. I'm weird...dont judge me :-)

Yes I'm nicer to Honda drivers.

" Are You More Considerate to Other Accord Drivers? "

Why? One of them might be a Democrat :-)
I tend to be more considerate of those driving instead of making out
with their cell phones..

I am. Especially if they are driving another 9th gen, like today when I saw another on the highway and he was signaling into my lane.

Anyway, some Accord drivers still drive like dicks, so I can't be considerate to them.

True, but it seems that most a-holes drive SUV's.

No not more considerate of other accord drivers, but I do park next to other accords when I see them in the parking lot, although most accords where I live are not modded at all and mine is so I wonder if they even notice? Probably not and don't care.

Are You More Considerate to Other Accord Drivers?

I'm not considerate to many people on the road. I sometimes give other Honda and Acuras preferencial treatment if I'm in a good mood. I never ever let a Lexus, BMW or Mercedes out in front of me cuz they all drive like dicks. Call me jaded, but I absolutely abhor how most people drive these days. They're either not paying any attention jibber jabbering and texting, driving 10 miles an hour below the speed limit, no turn signals, sitting at green lights messing with crap that is in the back seat, pulling out in front of you, or in a rush for no reason. I don't mind old people as much because it's not all their fault for driving like a moron. Another thing I can't stand is when people stop in the middle of the road to take a left then let someone pull out in front of them taking a left. I realize they are trying to be nice but there's something called right-of-way on the road for a reason. These morons trying to be nice almost cause an accident every time they perform this maneuver. I lay on my horn every time I see this. I wonder if people are such idiots in other parts of the country. I've heard that my state (Massachusetts) has some of the worst drivers in the country in it, behind NY and NJ, of course. Anyways, I'm a nice guy outside of the car, but I strongly dislike innattentive drivers. >:o

If you have a Ravens sticker on your car, that is another story.

You can get some Ravens duck tape here:

Then maybe stripe the car like this:

It's DUCT tape, not duck tape. I find it amusing that they branded it DUCK tape, not DUCT tape because so many people call it by the wrong name.
