It cost the insurance company $800 for the new bumper and grill on my camry including the paint job.

For the same reasons, you won't find allot of sites where if you ask about spray bombin your car or a doing a budget job will get much support.
The majority will say just do it right.

You gotta pay $500 a pint for the paint or its junk bla bla bla
and don't do it yourself with out a $2500 HVLP gun.


Hear it all the time when I say I used a $40 HF HVLP and $35 a gallon paint.
And sprayed in the drive way on a nice day.

Any car/vehicle that looks like it came in a box.

They should have put him out of his misery after the PT Cruiser.

cars with bullet holes that haven't actually been shot
balls that "broke" the window
cars with a sack hanging below the rear bumper
trucks with stacks
diesels that runs so rich they blow black smoke in my window... how rude!
minivans
cars with stickers of the owners family on the back window

a real pet peev of mine is cars with the wrong wheels... Like putting Corvette wheels on a Camaro that never came with those wheels...

This is more of a people thing...

brake -vs- break
wheel -vs- rim

If your brakes break you may bend the rim on your wheel...

Thats all for now. I like this thread!

Depends on the car. I like twin rectangular tips on each side. Ovals look nice too. But it needs to fit the design. Most of the time it doesn't. Can we all agree the giant mufflers on weak 4-cylinders just need to die.

It's not the cars, It's the owners who:
Call their car "my baby"
Call a Camaro "my maro"
Over mod their car to the point of stupidety.

Hay, but as long as everyones happy. lol.

So a miscolored unmatched potpourii of parts car is better than taking the time to at least try to paint match the panel before adding it to your car?

I'd at least like to see a 10 car (one that looks good from 10 feet away) than one that looks like a junkyard special.

I will give the owner the benefit of the doubt if I see the panels are primer gray. That at least means it was prepped to be painted correctly.

Only thing I will say is that when you see a car driving around in primer grey, they are done. Its protected. No one would take the time to prep/prime a car then drive the car around and have to prep again to paint color. Typically the primer cars are quick fixes and the owners dont care about the color match.

rice

[67 Convertible]

Bumper stickers
Dealership stickers
Flowmaster stickers
Any kind of stickers
Baby on Board signs
Tint so dark you can't see in the vehicle
Neon lighting in the wheel wells
As stated earlier, the fake "bulls balls" hanging from the trailer hitch or bumper....what's up with that????

[camaroluver]

Cars that look like this.....



and WTF is this????

[Silverado]

That is a customized golf cart....don't like those either.

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.
