flatland tourister 

Someone visiting mountain or hilly regions and unable to maintain the speed limit uphill on winding roads. This is originally from the Li'l Abner comic strip of 60 years ago. A flatland tourister can often be found at the head of a long, slow line of cars heading uphill to a ski resort or other tourist attraction.
Why doesn't the CHP get after flatland touristers instead of me.

suburban tourist 

A douchebag who drives around the suburbs at half the legal speed limit, looking at houses that he and his stuck up yuppie wife would like to purchase. Suburban tourists usually travel in groups of twos or threes in late model Dodge Caravans or VW Jettas, and have a tendency to stop randomly to point and discuss the latest shade of any butt-ugly pastel coloured siding they might encounter. They also love to stare at you when you're mowing the lawn, as they seem to think their stares and finger pointing are invisible to anyone outside their car.
I was late coming home for dinner today. There was a hoard of suburban tourists driving down Rutherford Road. FUCK ME!
