I'm sitting here, looking out of the window into our back yard. My neighbor has someone picking her up for one reason or another. The person picking her up rolls up in a white Durango R/T. They have two red stripes on the front fenders, similar to a Grand Sport Corvette. They painted the front wheels in a matching red. The first thing that popped into my head is "I guess they'll never rotate their tires."
Sometimes I even shake my head at myself. Who thinks of that? Immediately??
I always think to myself, You spent all that money on all that bling and e36m3 but you're broken down on the side of the road. Have you ever even changed your oil?
Looking at any kind of E36 M3box and wondering "can this turd go fast? Cheaply?"

I saw a Jeep yesterday that reminded me of something like this. The jeep had every imaginable accessory on it. Roof rack, fender flares, mean grill face blah blah blah.
And only one headlamp that worked. 10k in junk on your Jeep and you can't fix the headlamp.
"I am so angry that the guy in a 325i put an M3 badge on his car"
What vehicle would this junkyard LS engine fit in to besides the one that is in my driveway that it is supposed to go in to?
"Driving on that flat tire is just going to ruin your rim. You are an idiot for keeping driving even with flashers on".
This happens on my street once a month.

I always see the new jeeps with the whole store stuck to em and think "you bought a whole ass NEW jeep and took half of it off, and made it less jeepy than the stock jeep you started with". And then I think "jeep should just sell project jeeps at the jeep store. People gonna peel these things anyhow , let's give em a head start and cut down on some waste"
Sitting at the four way stop, was that thing rear ended, or side swiped, noticing the paint not matching from panel to panel
I see old DD's like this and think - this guy bought his death car in 1984 not realizing how long he would live to. (In handicap spot not parked well)
I moved from the rust belt to a salt free winter state. Everytime I see a old car sitting not being driven it comes to mind "if your not going to repair it sell it to some who will.. " I scold myself for that. It not my car.
This probably isn't just car guys, but I'm amazed the past year at how many out of date temporary tags I see on vehicles.
"You bought a $60k truck/BMW/etc, and you can't afford the tax/title/registration? Did you not consider that cost before buying the vehicle?"
Any time I've ever purchased a car, I calculate TTL, I call and get quotes on insurance, etc, to make sure I don't get sticker shock.
In reply to z31maniac :
To be fair on that one, most DMV bureaucracies are backed up, especially on out-of-state sales. It might be a 30- or 60-day T-tag, but it can take 90 days to get the plates.

I guess? I purchased a new car last year and had my tags in under 3 weeks (I had also saved up the money for it before the purchase, vs how a lot of people will finance it in their loan). I don't like that Oklahoma has become a "title hold" state though. Meaning, you no longer have the physical title, you just have a copy and they send the title to the lein holder.
Which reminds me, I need to go renew my tag.
Man...I wonder how many times this seat has been farted on? (A relevant question for those of use that perennially buy used cars.)
Re: horrible parking- "Who ties your shoes for you?"
Anything unusual/rare/interesting: "I could totally restore that!" or, when talking to MrsRecon- "That would be a cool car!" (Usually a project vehicle on the scale of the Molvo)
In regards to the latest bro-dozer fad ("Rock lights" in the fenderwells): "Shut off your berkleying lights so I can see the berkleying road, you moron"

Rule of thumb. The more E36 M3 stuck to side of car (to paraphrase Ivan Chesnokov), the worse the maintenance is.
Inside is also a side.

Out of date temp tag usually means it can't pass emissions. Probably.
Missing badges often means the car had been rearended and a scuzzy body shop quoted badge replacement, then kicked the savings back to the car's owner off of the deductible. Happens a LOT.
