People who don't signal. If you have to veer across 5 lanes of traffic to make your exit because you were on your phone while eating a taco, reading a book and feeding your kid at least let me know about it.

OK, this pisses me off to no end and it happens all the time. I go to Target, grocery store, etc. I don't park like an ***, I only take one spot, but I do leave a 5 or 6 spot buffer to the nearest car. I run in, run out two minutes later and there is a huge *** truck or SUV parked RIGHT F**KING NEXT TO ME!!!! Still 5 or 6 closer spots open, no logical reason for them to park there! I don't get it.
Trucks and SUVs that tailgate. You wanna find out how good my brakes are motherf**ker!
People that don't understand that an on-ramp is a strip of asphalt that is used to ACCELERATE up to the speedlimit of the highway you are entering. When you casually drive down the on-ramp at 35mph, then merge onto the highway, everyone on the highway has to brake... THIS IS WHAT CAUSES TRAFFIC JAMS!
And on a related subject, people who enter the highway and imediately move into the left lane right in front of me when there is no one in front of them in the right lane.
Wow, that felt good.

That's Enterprise for you - base model only. Good thing base models come with tires and steering wheels, but 'worst rental loaner from Mazda' is a different thread.....

People blasting bass real loud at a stoplight. ******* turn that **** down, because you are pissing off people, and you will **** off some lady with endless time on her hands, who will convince some dumbshit local politician to pass a nebulous law banning aftermarket stereos. And then everyone suffers. .....

And they try to turn in parking lots while on the phone, and they try to enter the freeway while they are on the phone, and they cut in front of you while they are on the phone - and then they take both hands off the wheel to drink a Starbucks...
How come the loud stereo people never broadcast classical music, or jazz or anthing but only some one shouting out their frustrated need for sex, aggression, or parental control - and they are all white kids - and they are trying to be black gang bangers- but they all look like Wierd Al in a stocking cap! Don't they know us little old ladies have a lot of time on our hands... etc.

....Crank windows can save your life if your car gets caught in a flood -
We used to have a lot of 'low water' crossings in Texas and Maryland, because it saved on building bridges...
I got the old red car with window cranks just for that reason...
Also installed a real - **** dial radio in the same old car because I could track thin signals more easily...On a real cold night I can still pick up "Dreamland", that pirate radio station near area 51 in Nevada.

I think most of my grips, someone else has said.
I wish all the idiots that "race" on the highway would spin out and hit a tree. Seeing the idiots weaving through traffic at crazy speeds is NOT racing. It is stupid. It is not a test of speed. You are only going to kill some grandma who is trying to change lanes but does not see you because of your dumb ***.
I also want to walk up and bitch slap that dumass that wants to race me everyday in his POS, ugly ***, blown up, spray can paint job, airplane wing spoiler, 8" "TURBO" sticker on the windshield, lowered so the painted black stock steel wheels are rubbing right upside his stupid head. Hit him and knock his hat on straight.
Can I do a motorcyle rant?
How about the racer wana bees with the loud exhaust and thinking they are all bad ***, yet they have a chicken strip about 2" wide and the center of the tire is worn to the belts.
The idiots on old CBR600s and Katanas that put on extended swing arms and try to make it look like a drag bike. Who are they kidding? They are the motorcycle version of a ricer.
Actualy, any idiot who rides around on the street with the extended swingarms on a sport bike. They just made the bike unsafe and handle like ****.
I also hate most chopper ridders. 99% are poseurs want to be Hells Angels. Looking all gay in the stupid little helments and leather chaps. Anoying everyone with they straight pipes.

I can't believe that no one mentioned spinner hub caps yet. Everything else has been mentioned.
Special mention to the Accord I saw the other day with glowing lime green paint, fart can exhaust, huge wing and spinners. I haven't laughed so hard in years.

I don't think I saw this one: The bigger and bigger wheels. I am sorry. You put 22" wheels on a car designed for 18" or less it just looks STUPID!!!! They have no rubber at all to protect the rims from potholes. The car HAS to handle like S@#t. And most of the time the rims are worth a lot more than the car is.
A related peave. SUVs and pickups with huge rims and low profile tires. Especialy the idiots who try to make them look all rugged with brush gaurds. Ok, how are you going to offroad with those?

Okay, so my car has a factory aero body kit which add nothing but weight, but at least it's tasteful accents, not turning the car into a mushy, half-melted looking thing.

[QUOTE=Cool-Blue-DadNice - reminds me of the Ford Focus that buzzes around here. Same lack of taste, but this monster is GOLD with a ridiculous organic looking body kit and a huge shogun wing on the back. First time he cross in front of me I threw my head back and LAUUUUGHED..... then, I realized he'd snapped his head around and looked right at me. I was clearly busting up at his car - he didn't look happy.

Admit it. You got killed by a Focus. At least it wasn't a blown up Civic like you see killing 8's on Utube.

I like Rootski's rant. I'd like to add:
Drivers who drive with their seatbacks inclined so much that you see their eyes just above the sill.
Drivers who have their arms out the window when the sill is higher than their shoulder.
Drivers who wait till the last moment before activating the turn signal.
Drivers who crawl ahead of you then blast off when the light turns yellow, leaving you facing a red.
