Car things that bug me....

-Most Toyotas and Hondas (and usually their owners too)
-The Prius and the Insight for sure
-The "truck balls"
-Trucks jacked up so high that you need "stairs" to get in them
-The tire roar from those jacked up trucks
-Vertical exhaust pipes on trucks
-Big wings and double wings
-Wings/spoilers on hatchbacks and minivans
-Cars that are all show and no go
-Stereos that thump so much that the the only thing you hear outside the car is the decklid shaking
-Exhaust that is so loud, it's just loud, not a good rumble, just loud (mostly Harleys and trucks)
-Small wheels (you used to see 14's and 15's, now 16's seem too small for most cars)
-I hate it when people replace the washer fluid sprayers with those lighted ones

And sorry, I know quite a few Camaro owners do this/have done it, but it bugs me when the GFX aren't painted to match the car.

I just took a better look at the picture and realized that it was a golf cart

LOL in an odd sort of way- I kind of like the golf cart

Things that irritate me about cars are things that make absolutely no sense:

1. $3000 rims on a $1500 truck.
2. Expensive body kit on a 20 year old Civic.
3. Giant exhaust pipe on an engine so small that it couldn't blow enough exhaust out the pipe to kick up a dust pile underneath it.
4. Rear ricer wings that are larger than the ricer's rear window.
5. Those "spoilers" Chrysler put on the "sporty" trim level of their minivans in the late 90s.
6. A hybrid going 15 under the limit in the fast lane.
7. Cars with more bumper sticker than exposed paint. (Usually a $500 car with $1000 worth of stickers).
8. Someone with a "make love, not war" or similar bumper sticker collage cutting you off in traffic and giving you the finger.
9. Someone with a bumper full of "save the environment" stickers on a car that burns more oil than gas.

If you think the PT is nauseating, try this on for size

That's bad, but this was a pace car at Daytona in 2001. A pace car?

Then there is this...

*DGthe3* · 07-13-2010, 08:31 PM

SUV's used as grocery getters
sports cars (or any car for that matter) being driven well under the speed limit
fwd 4 bangers being driven as if its a sports car.
the concept of fwd performance
3 spoke wheels
6 spoke wheels
7 spoke wheels
obscenly bright custom paint jobs
'wrong' style elements on a car (such as Buick ventiports on non-Buicks)

there are plenty of others ...

I'm going to get lynched for this around here, but... the color yellow.

And Priuses.

whats wrong with flowmaster stickers? i only have a small one on my back window though.
something that ticks me off is the really loud diesel trucks that go 50 ona 25 mph road AND, cant forget the ricers with fartcans, priuses too

7. half assed paint jobs
8. BIG spoilers that ricers think give them 100HP
