Vehicle pet peeves?
 

My biggest pet peeve is having someone lean on your car. :mad0260:

THANK YOU TOYOTA FOR THE PANIC BUTTON... would've preferred stock alarm but panic button works. Honking is LOUD. Scared a lady so bad she almost dropped her groceries on her daughter.

I'll keep it short on my pet peeves:

1) Having someone leave trash in your car from their food.
2) Someone touching your driver seat arrangements.
3) Leaning on car!!!!!!!!!!
4) Pumping wrong gas...had crazy gf in freshmen year pump diesel....
5) Stating all your car's blemishes, scratches...etc when they can't even afford your bumper.

Keep the list going guys, let's see how long it can goooooo

They keep telling me my car is slow

"How come you didn't get the BRZ?"

"How come you didn't get the manual?"

"You should drop a V8 in there."

Slamming my passenger door with enough force to simulate six months of normal use.

Rice.

Leaving oily fingerprints when car is clean. (especially windows)

Putting objects on car that will scratch paint.

Hitting my car panels. (Had a kid relative kick my door panel just because when he tried opening my door and it was locked. Left me a dent. :mad0259:)

People I take to the beach and make my car all sandy. (the floor I don't mind, but my seats?! Heck naw!:mad0260:)

Relatives borrowing your car and putting small scratches on it that are not noticed by them so they never mention it.

When someone says the frs is faster because it's heavier.

Happened once, couldn't tell if trolling or srs...

the car next to mine opens door too wide carelessly and hit my car. I felt like to murder the person for a moment.

THIS. Just today I had to get on my girlfriend for it. Fuckin irritating.

-Dead bugs, tree sap, bird shit, etc. on the paint
-People touching my windows and leaving oily prints

...and what everyone else has already said.

Cos the BRZ is faster, they came out with a turbo, cos its a Subaru

Shouldve got a Brz bro....

same as everybody else...
-bird shit
-people closing the passenger door by pushing on the windows
-getting door dings
-scraping for not driving slow enough
-useless back seats

People complaining about the air conditioning in my car. It's my car, I don't care if it's too hot or too cold, go ride a taxi or something.

Ahhhhh I am late and all the good ones are taken!


People that complain about aspects of the car even though they were oviously there when they bought it (Not fast, small back seat, etc)

Pet peeves? When our dog leaves hair all over the seats.

Mine is when I tell someone what kind of car I have, and the person responds with "oh yeah, I have a buddy with <insert non-sports car, probably FWD econobox that the person thinks is fast>"

I didn't know peeves could be domesticated!

People eating in my car and leaving crumbs and wrappers behind.

People that can't be bothered putting on their seat belt because they really have to text someone first. The beep doesn't ring a bell.

Ignorant people telling me what I should have bought instead of a BRZ. :mad0260:

Passengers pulling the door handle forcefully over and over again when the door is obviously still locked.

When I park far away from any other car and people seem to feel the need to park as close as possible to my car.

Torque dip.

People honk at you when you are driving in shity roads

This. A thousand times this.

Rear visibility (w/o parking sensors).

And while on the subject:

People parking so close to the drivers door that I have to make like a contortionist to get in. Lava makes people in unsuitable vehicles want to race me all the time (lava is worth, mind you). This is corroborated by my best friend nobody ever tries to race his satin BR-Z.

Only had a couple that I thought were trying to race. I personally believe that Lava makes more people try to catch up and see what the hell the car is. I have actually talked to a couple that said that was exactly what they were doing when they seemed to want to race.
It also makes people trip over curbs or walk into mailboxes, garbage cans, poles and other people as they swivel their head to maintain an unbroken stare.

I'm sure some were just looking, but they don't usually blast out from the right lane when I pass, overtake, and then slow down and block any attempts to get out from behind them. It's possible that it's just because drivers around DC are hyper aggressive lunatics. That said, I concur with you, goodsir- Lava really does get a lot of positive attention ^_^

This, so much this.

Also, people telling me the car is horrible due to only having 200hp.

People that can't keep their hands still in the passenger seat that like to play with the AC vents and locking and unlocking the car doors repeatedly...

Lava. Uuuugly.

And those guys that own them, well now don't get me started about that type!

Shutting the door using the window glass, and someone who is moving your car - like at the dealership - moving your seat back angle and seat position.

And, worst of all, when at the dealership or wherever, when they leave your car in gear and no parking brake, instead of e-brake on and gear in neutral (I've had a few jerky-stalls when I didn't notice THAT, or did, but foot moved automatically off the clutch after Is started the car). Grrrrrr. Return the car with the same "car is parked and off" arrangement that the customer LEFT IT IN!

Best one yet!
Even if I do still catch myself starting to do just that every once in a while.

People using cars as tables, or worse, chairs. :cry:

Edit: Guess I should have read the prior post before posting. That is a pet peeve of mine I just violated...

I hate it when a pet peeves in my vehicle.

Don't judge me.


The stock tips. So diminutive in those exhaust cutouts. And once again DON'T JUDGE. You play the cards dealt.

Car Warranties that are based on mileage first when they shouldn't be. There are certain things that should be based on time or mileage whichever is longest (like tail light condensation, but I'm not bitter or anything)...

Inconsiderate people who parks like an idiot (across the line into mine) and opens the door and dings the car, plus all of the above.

Wouldn't know that since I have TRD so they are big tips! Sort of a weird shape but big. So go wallow in your tip envy young man.
