Post you car pet peeves

[1BAD68]

Kind of car related, when someone asks how much something is worth...
"Its only worth what someone is willing to pay for it"
Thats so vague and useless you might as well just say "blabablaba blaba"

Another one of mine is customers wanting me to warranty their installation screw ups! Most of which are done by cheap ignorant folks on the hustle. Todays example was two guys that put a rear end in for a local pastor. Pastor call up says the rear end keeps locking up, we say ok bring it in for inspection... not a drop of fluid.................................................... guess who's out of warranty???

When I was looking for my first muscle car my grandfather and I would check out ads and go on long journeys to checkem out. well sometimes along the way we would see a car that would catch my eye and I would have to check it out and possibly make an offer. And this is what usually happens.... Some TURD comes to the door and I ask abt the car and they say " Ima reestore dat car, it wuz muh dads.." picks belly button, sometimes sniffs or even eats it and then begins to tell me that if they were going to sell it they would want $50,000 or more cuz its rare and ya just dont seem and they only made 5 with those options and not to mention Elvis once owned that car and the car is in great shape for how long it has sat. While I think back in my mind there was a cat looking at me in the back seat or what was left of it and then I vomit in my mouth and laugh until I actually start to. Then every time you drive past that car you know damn well that there is no way in hell that car is going to go anyway and just rot away and sure enough it becomes nothing but a pile still in that turds yard.

Here's another one of mine....People that will pay out the ass for a 340, when they coulda had a 440..It's 100 Cu. in. LESS???WTF?
Just because they've "Heard" that the "little 340" out ran everything "Back in the day"..When, if they actually thought about it, what did you out run back then? I mean, we have 1000 HP, 4 cyl. cars on the street now, with ball bearing Turbo's...SO, that "Little 340" out ran a 13 sec. 383 "Back in the Day" ..Now it should be worth twice what a 440 is worth?? What the hell? A 550 HP 340 is all but Maxed out at that level I don't care how many Mag. articles they've read...When in the persuit of HP and TQ., the 440 is just getting started @ 550 HP... 

Sure, there's nothing really wrong with the "Little 340", but to pay stupid money for an engine based on 30 years ago BS is just crazy to me...Ok, rant over....

I'm not sure if this peeve fits in this thread but it is car related so here goes; it has to do with a few owners in the neighborhood that have three and/or four car garages like most of us here but can't even get one damn car in their garage because of all the stuff and crap they have stored there. Yeah, the vehicles sit out all year long because the garage is full of stuff that's non-auto related! Stuff that they don't even use!!!!!!! It's a garage for pete's sake! It's for vehicles!
My neighbor two homes down has a three car garage and there's three vehicles sitting in front of said garage. In the winter they're out there either scraping the frost or ice off the windows or knocking off the snow each morning so they can drive them. Now if their daily drivers were setting outside because their garage was full of nicely restored cars I could understand it, but non-auto related stuff that isn't needed or used?

Reminds me of when my daughter was about 4 and we were behind a rice burner at a stoplight. As soon as he hit the gas on green she looked around and asked who farted.

I cant stand people who do not pay for their own way in life 

In other words I do not like free loaders who benefit at the expense of other people

I've been trying to settle an estate with some of the vehicles I have for sale, and the one thing that burns me is everyone will call and ask "What's your bottom dollar?"      Untill you drag your lazy ass off of the couch and come take a look and drive it, my bottom dollar is the advertised price. 


Another real pet peeve of mine is to have someone lean up against my car or sit their fat butt on the hood or a fender. That one will fire me up faster than anything.
