I didn’t think frat bros could piss me off any more than they already do. Sitting at a traffic light after seminar when all of a sudden an air horn starts blaring, then a second one joins in. I’m looking wildly in my rear view mirror trying to figure out where the firetruck is, when I realize that it’s not an emergency vehicle, it’s a Chevy Colorado and an F-150 with train horns. They’re weaving through traffic while laying on the horns. They get up next to me and continue to do this for the next three lights... did I mention there was an extremely intoxicated chick in the passenger seat of the Colorado, because yeah that too.

I’m fuming, and my left ear hurts.

I wrote down the Colorado’s plate number and called the police department when I got home.

I’m so done with this college frat bro bullshit. They have no level of basic human decency, and ruin everything they get near.

Not actual truck, but similar.

So yeah, I’m angry, tired, and my left ear hurts. I’m just done Oppo. I graduate in 2 months, hopefully I can get away from this particular breed of assholes.

God I hate this stigma about fraternities. Unfortunately it’s accurate for many of us Greeks on campus. I’m just that frat guy hauling ass on track in a Miata.

my parts have been taken over by douches with lightbars.

I’m know a guy who’s the president of a fraternity here, he’s a great guy, and he makes sure his frat is run right. Unfortunately a lot of other frats don’t, they’re just social binge drinking clubs at best, and sketchy as hell at worst.

This. Freaking this. On the BACK hooked up to the reverse lights too. There's one around the corner and when he parks it lights up my entire front room even with blinds and curtains drawn. /rant

The accuracy of that statement is too high. The worst part for me is the douche bags all run led light bars on the truck daddy bought them and think it’s funny to blind my ass at night time.

Yeah, those aren’t 150 decibels.

Never understood why Chevrolet went away from that front end styling on the Colorado and the Silverado. It actually looked more modern than the next generation - well, maybe not today’s styling, but hey.

Boy I’m glad my school doesn’t have a group of guys that drive bro trucks. There’s not enough space to park a lifted truck in San Francisco. However, Stance Nation is well represented.

Yes, I hate the train horns and the douches who use them as well. These were all the rage 10-15 years ago in the mini-truck crowd too.

I might give you a pass if it was a Thomas The Tank Engine kinda whistle.

I don’t get how being obnoxious is fun, I’m weird like that.

train whistles are awesome, they do a real good job of getting across that urgent desire for people to get out of your way. i could of used one today when i was going down the highway, and not one, but two gravel buckets pulled lazily across the highway JUST in front of me. yeah whistles are much for everyday driving, i almost never use my horn. but days like today. id rather have that whistle. a combo package would be great.
