My 2006 Xterra daily driver isn't completely ignored. I drive it pretty "briskly" and you'll know if you're holding me up if you glance at a mirror. I drive 121 from McKinney to Plano every day during rush hour, so I may be a little jaded. Your mileage may vary, but I've noticed a few common stereotypes of drivers and their vehicles:
Trucks are most common to think they are god in the left lane. Domestics most often, the newer and more suburban (lifted 4x4 but pristine bodywork) the worst it is. Tow mirrors or not, they have no idea, clue or care who is behind them. Dodge seem to be the worst offender.
Next are the moms in their minivans, commonly BMW X5 and other luxury mini suvs. I just don't think they know any better, but love to see a cell phone in their hand or their emergency 4 lane change to make their exit!
Next up is folks with Texas Tech logos on their car. I think driving like a jerk is on the entrance exam. Scores multiply if you see any greek letters. Not sure why, but they are almost worst than your BMW/Mercedes crowd.
BMW/Mercedes luxury fleet. Audi owners seem to be exempt, as long as not riced out. While this crowd does drive fast, they will be damned if they ever get out of your way or that of any other common man. Blinker bulbs are pristine and never need replacing since they are never used.

Oh, I love seeing that. "Let me risk a massive pile up because I'm in too big of a hurry to go down one exit and turn around..."

Since moving to Dallas, I'm convinced that if anyone misses their exit, a lightning bold tears through the sky and they immediately die.

I feel like people tailgate me or try to pass me in my truck. In the Mustang it rarely happens.

Right. The absolute worst place people do that is the eastbound side of the IH-20/820/287 interchange near Arlington/Kennedale.

^True^
Never seen a BMW run out of Blinker Fluid. Too much effort to reach three inches and push up or down on a plastic stick.
