I'll go first...and I'm not hating on those that do it? I really just don't understand why...okay maybe I'm hating on them a little bit lol

Those guys that bring all the trophies they've won and put them in the back seat at a car show.
 
People with there cars there that don't know it is polite to smile when some one says nice car to them :BangHead: some folks just don't have people skills :rolleyes:
 
Well lets see. I have been to a lot of the big ones the small one......I never show a car. I enjoy looking and seeing the cars, I enjoy talking with those worth my time.
Question is my car show pet peeve.?? It is the guy that has such a HUGE ego, all he can do is try to look so damned important. He is easy to spot.
I love meeting new car guys, hearing about everything that has to with their car, be it an unrestored slant project a young person is working on, or a super rare desirable whatever restored to the enth degree. . It is simple to spot the guy that loves the car and the hobby,... vs the assholes!!
 
People that see you holding a camera, framing a shot, possibly waiting for a crowd to clear, and then walk up to the car anyway.
 
The guy that shows up late on purpose and tries to park dead smack in the middle of everything just so everyone will notice him. This douchebag usually has extremely loud exhaust that points at the ground and creates giant dust clouds when he unnecessarily blips the go pedal while driving through the show.
Also identifiable as the guy walking around pointing out all the “problems” with all the other cars to his imaginary friends.
 
people who tell me their uncle had the exact same car as my duster, only with the 426 hemi sixpack and 350 turbo transmission, with 9 inch posi...all factory off course
 
Burnouts as they leave. Want negative attention to a hobby, do a burnout as you leave for the day. Only thing that will be remembered by the casual observer is the idiot doing a burnout down Main st. with people 5 feet away. If you want to do a burnout go to the outskirts of town or the light industrial area on the weekend when no one is around.
 
I don't mind 50's music, but I don't care for blaring 50's music.

No, no, no, it's almost always a '69 Challenger with a special order hemi six pack.

They must have made quite a few of those, since so many people's uncle's had them.

...or all of Florida has the same uncle.
 
Key Chains, Purses, Bicycles, Skateboards, Baby Strollers, Animals, Unattended Kids, Holier Than Thou people.
 
Car shows themselves are my pet peeve ...I would rather go to a salvage yard and take it all in for hours, when no one is around.

Car shows in my area are all about repetition. The same people attend, the same cars are always there, the same people win trophies and the same people sit together in a group.

i don't mind an occasional 50's song but damn man.. all 50's sucks.. lets hear some 60's,70's and 80's stuff for god sakes. half the old heads into the 50's crap are half deaf which is probably why its blaring..
 
That A hole who bought a Hell Cat, and he puts a thing on it that makes a GRRR sound when you walk by.
 
The newer car you just bought from the dealer. Sorry but its really not that special if there's 10 more just like it at the local used car lot down the street.

or worse yet, a year or two old V6 model that you've bolted, glued, taped or screwed every aftermarket accessory you could find.

I'm 60 years old, and still waiting to hear songs from my era. Doo wop, and those crappy girl bands have to be the worst, most amateur music ever. There was only 3 good 50's musicians. Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, and.... Ok, only 2.
 
People who think they deserve a trophy and send a letter complaining to the host show when they did not get a trophy at the show. The show was not a judged show but just spectator voting. They might have a trunk full of trophys and some lined up by front bumper also.
 
I don't like it when the announcer or the emcee or whatever you call him talks a lot and loudly.
 
When people like to criticize your car, but they don't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of.... (they don't have one or theirs is not better....)
 
Metric Challenger owners wearing gold chains and talking about their dealership experiences.

Poor losers

Crying dolls leaning against bumpers. Although... I saw a guy kick one once... He yelled "Get off my car!". Freaked out some people.
