Let me just begin by stating I am the proud owner of a Chevy Surburban, and let me just admit I am not the best driver there is. However, every time I pass in front of a car like a toyota yaris, they seem to give me some sort of dirty look, like I'm driving a big car, which is my right. What gives these people the right to act so arrogant?

You answered your own question:
You are not the best driver
Driving is a privlege, not a right
Maybe they see the "God Bless Dubya" bumper sticker and realize you are an idiot behind the wheel of a gas sucking CO2 producing pig that you don't know how to drive in the first place.

First of all there's nothing wrong with driving a Full size truck, or SUV. Can't exactly haul much in a compact car. I know, I can't even fit my tool box in the trunk of my Chevy Cobalt. But it sure fits in my Jeep and my F-250 pickup just fine.
Same reason these same drivers like to pull out in front of someone driving a full size truck or SUV. Like apparently they don't realize these full size vehicles don't stop on a dime like their little clown cars do.
Nothing gives them the right to drive and act like they do, but they certainly need to realize they're not the only person on the road. And probably if you ask one of those people that drive those clown cars they're probably an environmentalist too, which if that's the case I wouldn't let them back into their car, I'd make them start walking cause since their so environmentally concerned they shouldn't own a car.
Myself I would rather drive a full size truck than a small car, due to the fact that your more likely to survive a serious crash than in a small car.
I also think that drivers of those small cars need to realize that just because they own that small car doesn't mean they're caring for the environment because most of those cars have such small engines that they actually produce more pollution because they have to work much harder to move that piece of crap car, than that nice powerful V8 in the truck does. I actually get better gas mileage in my Jeep than I do in my Chevy Cobalt. Biggest reason, the jeep has a better engine and larger and doesn't have to work as hard as that engine thats in the cobalt.
We live in the US the last time I checked we had the right to drive what we choose.

Sometimes you can't see the forest through the trees. Do you ever look at a smoker like he/she is an idiot? Ever see a driver swirving down the road because they are on a cell phone, and you give them the "stink-eye"? The same holds true here. People that drive smaller cars don't particularly like large vehicles in front of them because of the loss of sight and the vehicle usually is sucking up gas like there is no tomarrow. I drive a suburban, also, but I also drive an Acura and a bicycle. I see it both ways. Don't condemn others if you don't wish to be condemned yourself. Just smile and wave. They have no other recourse but to do the same, and hate it. Happy driving! See ya at the pumps.

you are pollouting the enviorment with your big car (im being sarcastic)
i like big vehicles. they give a sense of security in an accident. they are able to go places that little toyatas cant. they give u the dirty look because they are sorry that their car cant do what your truck can.
i would much rather be in a head on collision in a Surburban than in a little Yaris or mini cooper.

They're just jealous. You can afford to drive one and they can't. Also, if you get into an accident with one of those POS, you're gonna come out alive. Ignore the comments about pollution, those people are ignorant. One even said you spew CO2. Cars emit carbon monoxide, not carbon dioxide. Enjoy your suburban. My son has one also...but since he played in the NFL, he has something he can fit in....can you see a 300lb lineman in a Yaris? Happy motoring!

Drivers of large vehicles are only compensating for a lack of size in a more important region.

SUVs are fine, but only get one if you're going to use it.
If you need to haul heavy equipment (in luxury) through a swamp, then they're fine, but if you're just going to pootle round town in it, why waste the money?

because we cannot see through your "moving building" a stupid SUV got infront of me and slowed down. well i thought wow there sure is traffic on this road. i switched lanes to realize that this idiot was just driving too slow. SUV's need to get off the road. you are gass guzzling and too huge not to mention ugly!

It's more of a "Damit, now I can't see anything but a big asss bumper in front of me."
It's kind of like you getting stuck behind a semi-truck. Can't see JACKSH*T
