I read a lot of car comparison in this forum. FRS/BRZ vs [car insert here]. At the end of the day, your not paying for Mr. Smith's car. So it concludes to me that if you want to be around a certain type of people or car, go join that club. Joining a forum where opinions are just that opinions and have no merit, it means little to complain or bitch about stuff.

I use this forum for many things - including bitching at my old age. I'm entitled to do so.

It is their money and they can do with it as they please. I think it doesn't make much sense and I'm voicing my opinion about it. Nothing more.

I'm not attacking anyone.

My beef is with the "it's my car I can do whatever I want with it" crowd.

The same ones that are ruining this fun thread. We just want to rant people, it's not a agree/disagree thing, its just a rant.

Diesel stacks. It seems that everyone with a diesel around here feels like they need to play pretend over-the-road trucker and smoke everyone out.

My biggest beef is everyone parroting "to each his own" in every damn thread.

[dem00n]

People who complain too much.

They say the older you get, the less fuck you give. Perhaps i was born there.

Have a 911.

Staggered wheels (rear larger than fronts) on fwd cars. Seriously?!

i cant stand when people ask for opinions and then people give those super aggressive opinions (track your car or its a waste etc.) and then people get mad about it. i mean on one hand, your smoked tailights and carbon wrapped roof are stupid and you asked for it. on the other hand, maybe we dont need to be that big of a douche about it.

My biggest beef is people using the word "fitment" incorrectly FRICKEN EVERYWHERE. It's a noun.

fitment

English

Etymology

fit +‎ -ment
Noun

fitment (plural fitments)

1. (archaic) Something that suits or fits.
2. A thing fitted to another in order to accomplish a specific purpose.
3. An item of permanent furniture or equipment.
4. The act of furnishing with fitments; an instance of such an act.
5. (India) The categorisation of an employee, for the purpose of calculating salary or allowances.
6. The proper positioning and orientation of a thing for it to serve its designed purpose.

Manufacturers that BADGE SPAM from the factory.
(One of my coworkers recently bought a new FORD FUSION, understandable then that it would have those two badges. But then it also has TITANIUM and ECONO-BOOST on the trunk lid. I don't think the car has a turbo and I don't think it's made from titanium)

Hybrid cars always have GREEN and/or BLUE colored badges.

PZEV.
(Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle. WTF does that even MEAN? Again, also green and blue)

The stigma of automatic gearboxes.
(I've owned a good dozen sporty cars with manual gearboxes. And sport bikes. I've served my time. I want to enjoy my morning lattes on the way to work and not have to justify myself to every boy racer)

"Hey, you know what FIAT stands for don't you? (and without waiting for an answer) Fix it again Tony!"
(If I had a dollar for every time somebody told me this, I'd have enough money to BUY a Fiat. They always seem to think it's incredibly funny, and that they're the first ones to tell me this. For the record, it stands for Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino, and mine was dead reliable)

I've got some OEM Peeves...


...Chrysler what the heck is WRONG with the Dodge name? My first car was a Dodge, the Viper is a Dodge, the Ram is a Dodge. Embrace it, don't deny it.


...Ford, I get you bought Aston Martin. That doesn't mean every one of your freaking cars including the new Mustang has to have DB9 style headlights. I wanted an Aston, I'd have bought one.


...Scion, stop with the bling crap on special edition and actually make them special. Slam a flat-6 in the 86 (86/6 anyone?), build a 4WD tC that will win a rally, but keep the light-up emblems.


...Toyota, give up on Scion. Its holding you back. Oh and Lexus shouldn't get your top of the line sports cars either. Like Chrysler/Dodge embrace your wild side. It will do you some good.


...Chevy, bring back the Astro. Best family vehicle you ever built and it really was built "Like a Rock". Thanks for the C7 Vette though. One day one will be mine.

The chicken little effect this forum has.

Stance people do it purely for the looks.
