Of course, I'm afflicted with the same perception as everybody else -- all the other people on the road are terrible drivers, but I'm an excellent driver.
It really pisses me off when I'm driving with my brother in the car and he says "Turn off your signal, OLD MAN." One of these days ...

And for those who are young enough to still be driving legends (in your own minds), here are some ideas for when you get older:
Dave Barry's Advice on How to Drive Like an Old Geezer
1. The "geezer" car should be as large as possible. If necessary, get two cars and have them welded together.
2. You should grip the wheel tightly enough so that you cannot be detached from it without a surgical procedure and you should sit way down in the seat so that you are looking directly at the speedometer.
3. You should select a speed of travel way in advance of your trip. 23 miles per hour is very popular. You should drive this speed at all times regardless of whether you're in your driveway or on the interstate.
4. If you are planning to make a turn at any point during your trip you should plan ahead by putting on your blinker as soon as you start your car to leave.

5. be sure to pull out in front of the oncoming car at the last possible minute to maximize the possibility of getting rear-ended by the car you just cut-off in your vigilante efforts to slow down the youth.
