haha. i agree with about 80% of everything listed. oh sh*t handle bars annoys the hell outta me when down. same with the visors, and when the seatbelt is not coiled all the way back. might seem small to "other" people, but its a big deal to me (us TL'ers)

but eating and all that i dont mind so much because i do that myself and everything is always cleanable. BUT if i know that, that person is messy then they don't eat in my car.

There was this one time we were in Vegas and it was 100 something degrees. We get in the car, and my buddy starts frantically messing with the climate control, hammering the temp button down to 60 something degrees. Pissed me off. >(

love this thread..

I got lots of things.. but i'll talk about this one because.. i was in socal.

So I went to socal, met up with some of you guys for the BBQ... I went there hella later.. But anyways, later on that night, i went to a party.. I picked up some friends, drove to a party.. TOwards the end of the night, my friends got in a fight with the WOMAN of the house party. People broke them up, so one of my friends goes towards my car while talking shit to the girl. Apparantly, my friend got some hits on her, so she wanted to kill my friend.. ANYWAYS, she slammed open my car door and hits my door on some other dudes car.. i was PISSED.. Yelled at her, cuz at this point i was pissed..

MORAL to the story is.. I hate peopel disrespecting my car.. I mean, real talk, i drove from UCI to UCLA to pick their asses up and then head to diamond bar, where the party was.. Total trip was 2 horus or ish and she just slams my car door like that.. Shit got me HEATED... I almsot made her walk home.

ok ok /rant.

Im VERY anal about my car. I actually made a 30 minute trip back home jsut to change from my bmw to my acura because they thought it was funny to slam the doors on it since it had soft close and piss me off. I bet it wasnt that funny when they missed half their movie making that trip back with me lol.

Gotta add messing with the climate control. ESPECIALLY turning the temp knob ALL the way to either side. I mean, it doesn't make THAT much of a difference.

My number one probably has to be slamming the door. The doors on the TL aren't that heavy, they don't require 30lbs. of thrust to shut them.

My second, and possibly a tie with the first, is people getting into my car. They feel the need to slide down the side of the seat when getting in. Over time, it destroys the side bolster, and creates wrinkles in the leather. I CAN'T STAND THAT, and I wouild like my TL seats to stay mint, just like they are now.

Playing with the touchscreen, especially when I am using it.
Putting their feet on the dash.
Slamming the trunk, and shutting it by pushing on the spoiler.
Opening the doors too much and causing them to rebound back.
Hitting, touching, or rubbing my cars paint.
People that complain because I park 20 miles from the entrance of a store.
Putting more than necessary weight on the center console.
Banging their feet on the door sill protector and my sideskirt when getting in.
Leaning against my car.
Setting things on the sunroof, hood, roof, or trunk.

I think that sums it up. Basically, just don't touch my car with any part of your body.

My "oh shit" bar springs up, so I don't have that problem (03 Accord)

Slamming the door really gets me off. I mean, the door will close, relax, it's not some 20-year-old taxi.

People messing around with the passenger seat and vents. You're getting a ride, please BE RESPECTFUL GODDAMMIT.

People that toy around with my radio. My best friend rides around a lot, and respects my car in general, so he's fine, but other people think "oh my god, this is my SONG" and crank the radio up and start swaying in the passenger seat. I mean really? It's always a chick song too, so it's just more embarassing for me.

people who smack the seatbelt against the b-pillar. Would it kill you to not toss it around? again, the respectful thing comes into play.

I don't mind people leaning on my car if I'm leaning on it as well, except for the hood. No touchy touchy.

People who toss their arm onto the armrest. This ticks me off so much. admittedly, it's not the biggest armrest in the world. But fuck, its my car, get your goddamn elbow off.

People who open their windows with A/C on, or vice versa. Just irking and a waste.

Backseat drivers who point out all the ridiculously obvious things. I signal, and they'll check back to see if there's a car and they'll say "ok go ahead, stop, let him pass." Hey, if the government of Ontario says I can drive, I don't need you to do it for me. There was one instance when I was trying to make a lane change, but I had a car in my blind spot. My passenger told me to slow down and let him pass. I floored it and passed him. There's a reason I'm the driver and you're the passenger.

Most people know how anal I am about my car before they get in however, and thankfully they respect it. they get all the rides they want. Then you have the occasional ass thats getting a ride home and doesn't respect my car at all. Mess up your own car.

There was this one idiot I was driving with in my old Cavalier that actually had the nerve to manually adjust the passenger mirror to suit him. When I asked him numerously to put it back, he said no it's fine like this. I told him to fix it or GTFO. He fixed it. Then I told him to GTFO.

Mom and Aunt always complain that the car is too low, and that I should've gotten a CR-V. You like it so much get it yourself.

You touch my shifter you GTFO.
You touch my handbrake you GTFO.
You put your elbow on my armrest and refuse to budge when I do the same you GTFO.
You touch my windshield wiper you GTFO. I won't bother to stop.
You touch my horn or anything in the steering wheel you GTFO.
You touch me while driving you GTFO.
Might as well GTFO right now.

One more thing, I hate when ppl slam my trunk, I got a A-Spec spoiler which is probably the heaviest spoiler for out TLs and I dont have the upgraded trunk springs to handle the weight, so whenever ppl close my trunk like they will close a Chrysler trunk lid, they slam it with so much forces that it sounds like the trunk lid is gonna recoil and rip right off thus ending up through my rear windshield that or breaking my trunk latch.

I can hold my trunk lid up 2 inches off the trunk latch, drop it and it will close without recoil.

Haha i agree with a lot of these. One of the most annoying things for me is that people love to touch windows when the car is just cleaned. No they dont touch it when its dirty and i dont really care but only when it is clean they have to make it dirty. Also hate when people slams my door shut.

dont let teenage imbeciles in your car

great thread to read, its soo true. i agree with everything.

i hate having people in my car soo much i just don't let people in anymore. i make them drive me everywhere and let them pay for gas.

one time i had a few buddies in for a ride, full load. my one friend opened his rear window and stuck his hand out there and then opened my door from the outside while we were driving down the highway doing like 80. scared the shit out of me cus my door just started to open, then i looked back only to see him opening it. then he put his hands on the seat controls and started adjusting my seat while i was driving , so i pulled over and kicked him out of the car and made him walk home (it was only like a mile so didn't feel bad ). that kid also spit out the window and got his spit all over my trunk lid , when i got home i called him up and told him to come over and lick it off. dont you just hate people like that?

so yea opening doors, spitting out the window and adjusting my seat WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT LIKE 80 MPH was just tooooooooo far for me. so if you want to get in my car you have to prove your worthy and not act like a freackin imbecile or you can walk home .
