Pet Peeves & Things That Annoy You Thread

When people wear tank tops or 'stringers' at the gym. Especially if they have a massive upper body and little tiny calves, I always have a good laugh at that. I'll wear a cut-off hear and there, but most of the time I wear a hoodie with the hood up. I mean its one thing to be proud of your body, but its another to prance around the gym 1/2 naked flexing in the mirror.

Last I checked, the process of building a car involves more than just a few suspension modifications, as well.

Qft.

...stuffing your face with Yan Yan.

Hey man, take that back. They're delicious

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

Trust me when I say this: it's been shit forever.

When the drift-tards started showing up 10-15 years ago, it was the same thing: cut springs, Rotas, a shoshinsha, and preferably a bunch of "drift damage," (a.k.a. "I hit a pole in the grocery store parking lot") and you were ready to be in the next Option VHS. Even better if you were an overweight 17-year-old white guy who spent every meet talking incessantly about Initial D and stuffing your face with Yan Yan.

Before that, it was neon paint on some horrible Andy's Autosport body kit, with stock suspension and steelies. I remember judging at a show in maybe 2002 or so and talking to some kid who couldn't believe his car got such low marks, since it was "fully built." Fully built meaning it had Altezzas and a wing.

And now people think VIP means hanging a rope pretzel from your rearview mirror and sticking a bunch of fake JP pillows in the back seat.

The car scene is shit, it's always been shit, and as long we tolerate people who think they can get all of the props with none of the work, it'll always be shit.

This too. Hanging a stupid knot in your rear view, putting pillows in your back seats and slamming your car is not a fucking build you neanderthal fucks. God damnit.

I need to stop posting in this thread I feel like a whiny bitch. But fuck 90% of any car scene now a days. I **** everyone.

or a 'build' where the car is taken to a shop and all the work is done there. Suspension, wheels, etc. I just have a hard time classifying that as a build, I think its more like, 'look what I bought"

I couldn't agree more. There are a few on this forum I can think of.

When people post "build threads" but something breaks and they trade the car 2 weeks after "building it". Fucking irritating. Maybe ill finally post my build thread. At least I actually work on my car.

The new crop of Pacific Northwest Fanboys. 5 years you complained that this place was a gray rainy shithole and you can't wait to leave. Now you wear flannel, drink Rainier or Olympia beer and you Facebook picture are tagged with #pnw #upperleft #northwest4lyfe or stupid shit like that.

Also, Fuck downhill mountain bikers.

I agree with everything you just said

Why the fuck does this have a cage?

The same reason why every stock-drivetrain 3-series slushbox has a pair of fixed-back racing buckets with a quick-release wheel and a 5-point harness.

God damn motorsport posers.
