If the internal vanes aren't directional then it doesn't matter what direction the slots or cross drilling goes

I guess timid drivers are a peeve of mine. If everyone drove like me there would be substantially less traffic.

Also, i dont like being able to see people's faces in their side mirrors when im NOT in their blind spot.

Those fake drilled disc brake cover things.

70's factory wheels on any pre-70's street rod.

Fake bullet hole stickers.

Trying to pass off your white with blue and red striped Super Beetle as an original Herbie car.

Im gonna say it and it might be a bit unpoopular but I hate paddle shifters and autosticks. I enjoy the traditional row your own manual transmission. Paddle shifting has an unnatural almost automatic feel to me and autosticks I just never got the point either you want a manual or you dont. as far as classics I really disliked shift on the column manuals. cant explain it just never liked them plus when learning on them pray you didnt jam the linkage

Prius drivers who are clueless about keeping right... you know, keeping out of the way of cars streaming past both sides of them? No, they don't get it - apparently high mileage negates the need for common sense.

camber on FWD ? I've got -3 1/3° front and 1 1/2° rear … can't imagine running this car without that much

Why not all drivers that don't understand the idea of keeping right?

Double parking shinny happy people. I appreciate a nice car, classic, exotic, cars/trucks, I get it, I don't want door dings, or parking lot damage either. So park further away and walk, don't take up 2 or more spots for yourself.

I saw some knob in a brand new Roush Mustang do this the other day at a crowded gas station/convenience store, taking up a handicapped spot and another. Then, he went in the store with the car still running. It took all my will power not to get out of the car and hop into his for some parking re-adjustment and some gratuitous burnouts in the EMPTY parking lot next door. What a loser.

I don't like it when people say they're into cars but just really only care about reliability and resale value (and pretty cars, of course).

My biggest pet peeve is when people complain about $90-150 car repairs, especially accessory belt replacement. If you don't have the mechanical ability or desire to do some of the easy repairs or maintenance yourself, you have to pay up. It's your choice between repairing and older car or buying new and having a warranty so the dealer can do those services.

People who say rims.

Newer than 08 mercedes with sumitomos or other cheap tires.

People who legitimately hate a brand of car. I'm not the biggest fan of alot of stuff out there but I can easily think of something from every brand I'd love.

People who dont know a gd thing about performance but wont shut up about how fast their 5 speed camry is because its a manual.

People that keep telling me I should have gotten a 3.8. I wanted a rwd turbo car with near perfect 50/50 balance that has bluetooth, sirius, and power everything but no sun roof. The 3.8 is faster, but not as much after you put 20% of the cost difference into performance parts. Damn I had a few more.

People who put loud exhuast on just to be loud. There is a guy who has an orange Challenger R/T in my complex. It has big wheels which aren't really my style but they look alright. But it has terrible exhaust on it. It has no tone what so ever. I've heard straight open exhaust that sounds better. I didn't know you could make a Hemi sound bad but this guy did. He seems proud of it too. It is straight up ear diarrhea

Not a problem in my Prius-owning family. We haul ass and spend less doing it.
