A&Q about 350Z
Q:
...that annoys you the most about other people's cars? Or maybe your own? I'm talking Stuff that makes you wish you had millions of dollars to buy the vehicle from them just to put the poor car out of it's misery.
Huge 24" chrome rims on trashy rusty oldsmobiles (that haven't even been lowered so they sit 90 miles off the ground) get me the most. At least ricer rides appeal to more than 4 people in the world.
So, what do you guys think?

Ha ha 24" rims and 90 miles off the ground. I've seen that...I think I can get my Z under that. The most I've seen was in South Carolina, I wish I had my camera at that time. It was sick, and I don't mean that in a good way. : P
The thing that annoys me...fart cans on cars. I saw a CRX, I heard something that I thought would fly by me but it was this CRX, probably redline the thing, but could not pass me. I couldn't even hear my radio. If you're going to make that much noise, you better fly by me as if I was standing still. : P

Fart Can ~ Agreed
24s ~ Agreed
I also can't stand:
- Park bench spoilers...especially when they are on some rusted out '89 Accord
- Brand new trucks with aftermarket wheels that don't fill the well.
- Lime green, hot pink, or light purple paint.
That should do it

I think the thing I hate most is the "Homey G can't see over the steering wheel" lean, loud subs that vibrate everything within a block, spinners of any kind, 18" or larger rims on a truck, SUV or Caprice Classic/LTD etc..., huge spoilers, multicolored body kits, big tach and no performance, carbon fiber crap on a stock sedan (cavalier, civic...) and generally anything that's a waste of money, distraction or otherwise annoying.

I'm going to say fart can kragen exhaust, HUGE wings that were probably designed for a small aircraft, any color of window tint that isn't black, rims that stick out past the fenders, and the dreaded DECALS. Everytime I see a ricer with a crappy body kit and decals I just want to go to his house and burn it down. I also agree with everything you guys said.
1972 240z w/L28, tokico shocks and springs, and a 5 speed waiting. Also running high performance ultra mega blinker fluid, that's at least an extra 50hp to the wheels.

Fart cans & loud thumpin base especially while stopped at a light or getting gas.
Anyone can drive a new car.

Fairlady badging on a North American Z

Massive mega multi-1000 watt sound systems for a less-than-hall-closet sized space on wheels
There's more, but there are so many other folks in line waiting to respond.

People who park in the street (not on the curb - all four wheels fully in the street) in front of a house with more than ample space in the driveway. I want to get a diesel mercedes with 400,000 miles on it solely to ram it into these morons.

YES! I can't believe people do that and are serious about it! How could you not realize that you look like a 5 year old pretending to drive daddy's car?
It's really stupid (from a safety standpoint) to drive with your hand on top of the wheel and your elbow locked up.

HEY! I have a fart can... :-( Though I didnt realize it was going to be a fart cant until it was on. Now my welder is broke and I cant fix it. :-( Though they are annoying, mine annoys me. But I dunno if mine is really a fart can though. It is basicly straight loud exhaust, really loud, more than fart can loud.
Loud bass doesnt bother me unless it sounds as if the car is going to rattle apart. bzzz bzz bzz bzzz brrrrr
What about those 10" wide rims that are put on all 4 wheels of a Civic or something. They rub the outside part of the fender when they turn.
Or what appears to be a really well done car with cheap looking stickers on it. :-S Or cheap stickers period.
atleast they try...

I also hate stickers on cars that make it look like the car is riddled with bulletholes.

I live in the quiet country, and can hear the loud thumping stereos coming for a full minute, and hear them going away for another minute.
I was mowing on my John Deere 955 utility tractor with a 72" finish mower when I thought I was running out of deisel fuel because of the loud thumping from a car that went by the house about 10 seconds later....insane.
A:
I hate those stupid clear and chrome tail lights everyone seems to be putting on their trucks and SUV's. I have seen some Hummer H2's running around with 26 inch wheels, as if the H2 wasn't bad enough by itself already. Those vehicles are such waste and excess it is rediculous.

If you are going to waste your money on a body kit, at least have the decency, for everyone around you, and PAINT IT BEFORE YOU PUT IT ON!!!!!
And another horible thing is the tape people put over their tail lights for reasons unknown. Stop that!
