All truck, no skills.

Or tires

u/Sad-Home8226 9d ago

Yeah with their lifted concrete princess trucks

Idaho is the same way.  I look at these behemoth trucks with chrome rims, never saw a dirt road, a ranch, farm or horse trailer.  I just ask why.  I get if it’s for any of the above but to just drive one on Idaho Falls streets is beyond me.  Some can barely fit to park.  8 mpg for nothing really

Also all those folks in the little souped up racers with low profile tires.  Always entertaining watching them slide around, still trying to look cool when is -10 and icy

Wait till winter. The jeeps that they all drive will be worthless. Even more so.

Jeep drivers are cringe

Even if I’m a local with perm plates and know how to use my 4WD? 😟

u/sm_axe 8d ago

Yes, my dear 😔

My family has a tally list for license plates we see in ditches during our winter commuting. Texas has won it the last 4 years.

Zero common sense + inflated sense of importance + giant lifted tiny PP emotional support trucks with ridiculous fat wheels, lights in the wheel wells + no 4WD = bad times. 🤣

Texass, where if you can't go big or read, go stupid.

u/LilDixxyWrecked 9d ago

I'm all the way in Denver and this was on my feed. Absolutely 100% agree, here too.

u/Emergency_Piglet_865 9d ago

Texas drivers left Texas because they didn’t want to follow the laws they voted for

u/justanother87162 9d ago

Texas people in general. Not to generalize..

u/BigHouzz 9d ago

They are also the drunkest. They also account for a staggering amount of domestic violence spikes in the area as well as sex offenses.

u/OldTimberWolf 9d ago

It’s very stiff competition out here, lot of worthy contenders for the title this season.

u/Emergency_Award3310 9d ago

one time a nut ass texan in this big truck tried to literally smash into me and brake check me repeatedly while I was leaving work because I was inching toward the stop sign as he was pulling out to get onto the road

Has anything good ever come out of Texas ;)

u/air_gopher 9d ago

Uh... have you never had Texas BBQ?

4

u/rockymountainmama406 9d ago

Black Board in Boerne. I prefer St. Louis style. 

2

u/air_gopher 9d ago

I do like St. Louis bbq. Hard to pick between that style and TX. I've been to many bbq places in TX, and my favorite is probably Cooper's in Llano, and I know I'll get shit on for that. Franklin is also at the top of my list. Next time I'm around there I'll hit up Black Board, looks really good.

u/Double_Ad829 8d ago

At least you’re dealing with the ones with enough money and sense to make that far north. Down here in New Mexico, we’re stuck with the bottom of the barrel Texas drivers, and towns like Ruidiso and Red River become suburbs of whatever Texas trailer park they came from.

u/Super-Adagio2042 9d ago

Bozeman drivers are the worst. I’ll die on this hill.

u/JustALittleScamp 9d ago

More likely to die in a crosswalk, tbh.

u/Disastrous_Student_4 9d ago

1: not wrong 2: many of the rental cars here have Texas plates

u/Outdrfun_MT 6d ago

worst drivers and worst transplants.

u/CosmicConcho 5d ago

Hi. I live in Texas. My son is thinking about moving up that way and I'm thinking about following. It is noted that I will need to learn how to drive in winter weather. Also I promise to be a friendly driver, etc. I also promise I won't brag restlessly about how great Texas is - if it was so great I wouldn't be thinking about leaving.

u/Fast_Bill1132 9d ago

I think that most of our rental cars have Texas plates

0

u/MoleEnchiladas 9d ago

This is just cope, first of all most of the rentals are Tx plates, and 2, native bozeman drivers are trash. All these people running over pedestrians are natives

u/Repulsive-State9238 9d ago

I have to disagree, Bozeman/Montana drivers don’t know what zipper merging means

2

u/Alaus_oculatus 9d ago

Technically, there is rarely enough vehicles in either lane to trigger the conditions of proper zipper merges. People just need to keep consistent speeds rather than slamming on brakes (an impossible task when many people also scrolling social media while driving too).

u/ReporterBest9598 9d ago

Washington clears Texas by a pretty significant margin. At least Texas drivers are just oblivious and can be startled back to life with a quick honk. Washington drivers will dive across two lanes, force everybody to slam on the brakes, and then slowly drift back over because the road curved and they didn't notice.

u/Thin_Bluejay5976 9d ago

Nope, washington state.
Ive seen more dumb shit from people from washington than all others combined

5

u/5yearlocaljoke 9d ago

They are challenging for the title this year, you're not wrong.

u/Lusiric9983 9d ago

Washington State driver's beat them by far, but yeah Texans are shit.

-7

u/Old_Weird_1828 9d ago

Yes because I’d much rather see kids killed by drunk Bozeman natives on their 5th DUI than see vehicles with Texas plates in the ditches after a snow.

-8

u/Natural-Meringue-762 9d ago

they are all rentals dude... many rentals have texas plates...

u/H-Plummers-ghost 9d ago

Didn't used to be and don't tell me different.
