What irks you

I can't believe nobody has mentioned my all time biggest complaint !!!

"If you have a convertible, and have the top down, take the extra 15 seconds to lower the rear windows too" :violent1:

Is there anything more ridiculous then the rear windows up look ??

(Pertains to all makes and models)

If it's a LeBaron, they probably won't come down......rusty motors from being
covered in water that won't drain.
 
Seeing a GMC Suburban with 26 in wheels with a handicap placard hanging from the mirror and a person who is not disabled.
 
trunk space filled wih huge pounding useless speakers!........Totally stupid ! .....hmmm maybe it's my age kicking in here, but I'd rather listen to open headers, than crappy rap music. Nothing looks more rediculess than a hummer ( a vehicle designed for off road capibilities) with 24 inch rims, rubberband tires, and a back end cargo area filled wih pounding stereo equipment. Makes the whole concept of the vehicle useless......
 
Well, I'm guilty of the license plate cover. I put one on the front because I'm sick of scrubbing bugs off and rock chips on the plate. As for frames, let me find a frame from the dealer my car was sold new at, and I'll have that sucker bolted on with a quickness.
But, I hate those cry baby dolls that are leaned up against cars at shows. I never really understood that.

Its the tacky crap people add that really gets me.

Any decorative item from Autozone. Stickers, chrome stem caps, whatever. We've all been to Autozone, we know you stuck something on your car that cost .99

I'm REALLY tired of crass stickers and other accoutrements. I'm sorry the only power you have in your life is the ability to offend others, but keep it to yourself.

There are a couple of categories here, and there is some overlap.

1. Stuff that's just obscene: I know we have a bankrupt culture, but why do we have to show it off?

Calvin pissing on whatever - This had outstayed its welcome 10 years ago.
Anything externally visible, stickers, plate frames, whatever, that uses profanity, especially the F word. "Bad *** Boys Drive Bad *** Toys" and the like.
Truck Nuts

This stuff makes the owner look like a knuckle-dragging caveman, and not in a good way!

2. Stuff that is meant to confer that the owner of the car is some Billy Bad-*** Lone Wolf Tough Guy (see Bad *** Boys above, Does Not Play Well With Others, Skulls, any and all threats based around the fact that the owner of the car also owns a gun, etc.).

This makes the owner of a car look like a knuckle-dragging caveman with a small *****.


I'm pretty sick of the "Brand Wars" decals too. What's the point? The brand X guy bought the same sticker with the words in a different place. His car eats Mopars and s**ts Fords. So what!? :boxing:

If you can't say anything nice, then keep your mouth shut!

Harley Davidson stickers on anything other than a Harley Davidson. Remember the "My Other Car is a Porsche" jagoff from the 80s? Don't be that guy.

I don't know if it ruins the car or not, but I also don't like the look of the modern race seats in old cars. I'm talking the Sparco type with the shoulder harness holes and bright colored piping. *10 if the car uses conventional seat belts instead of shoulder harnesses.

Big giant wheels on drum brakes is pretty tacky.

Dang, that was sooo 4 years ago! I agree......
Ill ad Pep Boys peel and stick scoops and adhesive flames, and "Michoacán" in Old English covering the entire back window of a Chevy pickup that has fender flares, one of those corvette bumpers, and running lights everywhere. ...but getting back to Mopars...18's on an otherwise stock muscle car.

TRuck nuts! tried to forget about those...How about any lowered 4X4? Especially ones that have AMG body kits like...
mercedes-benz-g55-amg-side-1_204.jpg
C'mon. its a freaking Euro-Jeep!
 
im guilty on the black engine compartment,but I plan on redoing it.
I know some will disagree ,but something that REALLY REALLY reallyyyyyyy bugs me seeing on a Mopar are CHEVY COWL INDUCTION SCOOPS

Boy if all these things irk you there is therapy. lol j/k ya
 
People that cant understand your vision on things, and have to publicly criticize you for having something different on your car.
 
Nice paint on crappy bodywork. If you cant get the body straight why bother. Ive seen paint jobs that make me want to grab a surfboard and hit the waves.
 
67 Darts and ANY Plymouth with bumblebee stripes.
And I have a JEEP beef too. There are a lot of guys now taking CJ3's and 5's and changing them to 2WD and putting CHEBBIE crate motors in them. PUKE PUKE PUKE
 
dirty - crappy - painted black - chrome everything in engine bay
and they have the balls to open their hood at a car show keep
it closed - less is always better

People who think their car is better than yours when all the do is drive it on and off a trailer.

I also don't understand when people use 9" rear ends in a Mopar, cause in point that FrankenCuda with the Ford rearend and Chevy trans.
