People who call Mercedes, "Mercs" Call them Benz's or M-B's.

This is a Merc

I'm not even a Mercedes guy and this drives me up a wall.

Advanced Auto/parts store modifiers. The guy who buys random chrome shit to plaster all over their cars. My biggest pet peeve is the fender port hole shit. Buicks have port holes that's it. Or the fake hood scoop(it's awesome if they stick them on crooked, or off center - they get what they deserved there) or obviously fake "vents". Pretty much anything you buy from a parts store - tacky one size fits all seat covers, steering wheel covers, emblems, license plate frames. All of it is just bad.

I saw someone who bought those terrible "DUB" style chrome letters and had them plastered all the way across their trunk rear spelling out their name. One of the letters fell off but the adhesive was still there. He got what he deserved too...

Car's that want to be perceived as fast by only having some obnoxious poorly hung fart can, a cold air intake or both. But obviously have no real performance work. The drivers of these cars are equally weak. they usually mutter something along these lines "yeah, mines pretty fast. It's got a cold air intake and some exhaust work. It's a lot faster than your Golf I'm sure" to which I reply "yeah I bet it is, it's loud for sure".

People who drive around forever with unpainted horrible aftermarket body kits. Or import style body kits on trucks. WTF??? To be honest, most aftermarket body kits usually bother me regardless of the car they're on.

That's the elantra community



People who try to drive their priuses fast. They buy a fucking prius just to gas it around town, weave in and out of traffic, just to get the same gas mileage we all do while looking 10000x stupider. Same with most mini vans, no matter how fast you want to drive, you still look like a soccer mom.

People who throw trash out of their windows and onto the ground.

omg yes. i was behind this lady for like an hour in traffic and she threw out 5 cigs in that time. i want to get a pile of cigs in my car so when someone throws one out, i can just walk up to them at a light and throw like 100 in their car. usually i just honk and flip them off though lol

I make sure they see my displeasure if they're within a line of sight.

While a passenger of my friend's Mach 1, I actually got out of the car in a traffic jam after someone dropped a still-lit cigarette on the ground. I picked it up, held it up to them in their open window, and said (politely) "You dropped this."

People who flick/drop cigarettes out of their car. Take your fucking cancer stick trash with you.

People who go through the "7 Items Or Less" checkout lines with a fucking cart full of shit.

People who go to the DMV completely unprepared, and are offended when they aren't helped. "You mean I need a title and proof of insurance to register my car?!"

People who go to the DMV, wait in line, and then ask the person at the counter a simple question that a google search could answer. Then they take it a step further, and discuss an easy task at length, while everyone else waits in line.

People who don't pay any fucking attention at traffic lights, and when they finally do realize the light turned green, they shoot through just in time for the light to turn yellow or red.

Eh, not all automatics are bad. My uncle had an automatic 3000gt VR-4(4wd Twin turbo, active aerodynamics, 4 wheel steering ) in galaxy white pearl. He couldn't drive manual because he was dying of cancer that started in his leg. My dad also can't drive manual(unless it's right hand drive, he's looking to get a RHD s13 in the future) because he had a stroke.

Coming from a G35 guy. Those automatic G/Zs that drive like dicks make me laugh.

The G/Z scene becoming the way it is, is the reason I have parted out my car.

I think it's because they appeal a lot to the new driver with rich parents. Usually those kids feel like they are on top of the world, and feel that everyone is out there to race them.

Kids with G's and Z's.

It always seems like some 16 year old in his dad's automatic g35 or 350z wants to race on the fucking freeway. Last night there was some asshole riding my ass, so I get over and let him pass in the fast lane, and he fucking guns it past me, and slows down to match my speed. I wave, and proceed at about 80mph, and he takes off like he's racing. No downshift noise when he was slowed down, just the soft downshift sound when he gassed it. The exact same shit happened when a g35 pulled up next to me on my way to san diego a couple months back. I would gladly race them, but not in traffic with people around. It's just stupid.
I also usually see young kids in 350z's and g35's speeding around town, or with loud exhaust systems, and they are all fucking automatics.

These kids make the G and Z scene look bad.

Automatic diesel trucks are the only ones that get a pass.

I think they were asking for $60,000 last year.

That's the stupid drift hype though. Everyone who has a car that's popular in the drift scene wants obscene amounts of money for it. Look at the S chassis crowd, they think their 'specially prepared drift car' that's beaten to hell and missing an interior is worth $4,000.
