If you do this please stop

[Pushmonkey]

I have to urge anyone who knows anyone who feels the need to stencil the type of car onto your back windshield to just stop the madness. I have seen Chevy signs, little mustangs, the word civic, and much much more. Now I might be naive to the cool factor here but if you need to remember what type of car you have with a word or a symbol you need help. Also if you have a primer 1996 Chevy S-10 do not whatever you do have the word "lowrider" on the back windshield. I just boggles my mind at how incredible stupid these word/symbols looks. So, again if you know anyone who has these on their cars urge them to take them off, and if you yourselves have them on your car may God have mercy on your soul.

Even worse are the lamely done, "tricked out" 4-cylinder turds that some members of the 18-25 crowd think throwing a coffee-can-sized exhaust tip, an erector set spoiler, and some decals drops 6 seconds off her quarter mile time.

I laughed hysterically when I heard a comedian making fun of "that guy" for having decals of what essentially amounts to a contents list for said car (if and when the vehicle is really equipped with Toro Tires, K & N Air Filters, Kenwood stereo, and work was done at EIP Tuning).

Dude...it sounds like a weed wacker and the chin-up bar on the trunk actually compromises the entire principal around having a spoiler in the first place. Besides...it's a Pontiac Sunfire. Just stop.

[rolliefingers]

Along these same lines: The Calvin thing where he's peeing on _______ is lame enough, but it's especially lame when he's peeing on the "rival" car brand of the kind the guy's driving.

I mean...really? That's the issue that really motivates you to express yourself?

(Americaaaa...eff yeah!)

[Pushmonkey]

I just remembered another one.. the names of the drivers on the windows behind the seats/ or on the door.

[glenn__davis]

I can't stand bumper stickers with curse words on them. If there were one in my neighborhood, I think I might go spray paint over it.

[BaltimoreTerp]

What I love is when one of those doofs pulls up next to me when I'm driving my '95 Subaru wagon or my mom's Saturn coupe and they act like they want to drag.

Yeah, like I'm actually going to race you in your souped-up Civic hatchback that you spent $20,000 of your dad's money making slightly faster.

Of course, the best part is when the light changes and I actually accelerate faster then them!

Quick story: my first car was a '93 Dodge POS (Pretty Old Shadow). The lady we bought it from, someone my mom worked with, had let her son use it (until he went AWOL from the Navy, and she reported it stolen to help find him, which led to a very interesting time at the MVA when we switched the title). When we went to get it inspected, we found out that he had taken something (probably a hammer and screwdriver) and punched holes in the muffler.

Needless to say, that car didn't last very long...

[jamesenoch]

2 Things that bother me the most are the following :

01) Playing music so loud that MY cars shakes.. Give me a break.. It's not even worth imagining the little punk going deaf because most likely we as a society will have to pay for it in someway..

02) Laying their seat so far back that you can barely see the tops of the their head. How in the world did that become "cool"??? Look, ma, I cannot see where I am going...

Man, I am getting old..

[ChrisP]

You guys forgot my "favorite" thing for trucks...The balls that hang down from the bumper/under carriage. I don't want to mess with those guys...:rolleyes:

I just bought a 4x4 CC and never in a million years would I put that on it...I would put a #20 hitch cover though.:D

[McLovin]

I was watching this show on MTV once - a documentary about the 'tuner' lifestyle. There was a kid on there that said he put over $45,000 into souping up his Civic. No kidding. If you wanted to spend that much to go fast, why not buy a Corvette, M3, or something and just be done with it? A $45,000 Civic? Really? Are you kidding me?

Hobbies and interests are individual things though, so to each their own. I could however do without the polluting and loud exhausts.

I hate those damn things!! I had this great idea to take them off of trucks that have them and put on a bumper sticker I created that says "you've been castrated!"

FWIW, each decal adds 3.735 horsepower.

What's up with people who have like 4 TV's in their car in the back of the headrest. They'll be driving down the street by themselves with all the TV's on. Nobody's freaking wathing the TV's, you're by yourself!

Yeah, I love that. Sometimes I rev my engine like I want to race, then I slowly accelerate when the light turns green and laugh as he goes speeding ahead.

I saw that in a Kia Sephia once. No kidding.

[Spoonless]

I saw that in a Kia Sephia once. No kidding.

I saw a Hyundai Accent with a body kit, spoiler, exhaust, mirror tinted windows. Seriously. A Hyundai freakin' Accent.

This is going to sound insensitive, but the decals that really bother me are the "In loving memory..." type where people are honoring dead loved ones with giant stickers on their back windshields. It just seems like there are a lot better, and less tacky, ways to remember someone. Plus, they always make me kind of depressed for a sec. I don't need to be thinking about death while I'm driving.

What's even worse are the people who are watching a TV in the dash while driving. On a funnier note, I once saw a woman reading a novel and driving at the same time. Three words: Book on tape.

[CamdenChick]

Ok so what is acceptable to go on ur car? lol.

I think the rubber chickens hanging from the back of huge pickups is funny as hell. Not the balls though. Uhm, I used to have this cute little chevy symbol on my back windshield, but it was small and cute, not loud and obnoxious. I drive a chevy and I like it :) And my friend Jenn drove a Chevy S10 so we got her a little decal that fit on her middle back window that said, "Chevy Toys Ain't just for boys." With a little chevy logo. But they're cute, and not big loud and neon either. :) Oh what about personalized tags?

[ChrisP]

Oh what about personalized tags?

OKWTHME :D

[Dracula]

Also, ladies, stop doing your hair/makeup while driving. I mean you guys are already bad enough at driving and this doesn't help.

I was coming out of the UMD campus one day and pulled out behind a girl who was strattling the centerline for a good 30 seconds until I layed on my horn. When I drove by she was doing her hair, with no hands on the steering wheel. I mean come on now, do this before you drive down a highway.

[glenn__davis]

Oh, and the decals that say "Bad a$$ girls drive bad a$$ toys."

[BillySmith]

I second this Crimson. That really bothers me. To me, I think it's really a message to the rest of the people in the neighborhood or those that know the deceased. It's like saying, see, "I grieve more than you." Look at me, dangit, I'm Gumby, and I'm grieving. You are not Gumby, are not as grievy as me, and therefore I am better than you.

I'm not just old, I'm cynical.

[Dwight Schrute]

How bout the fake bullethole stickers? People actually pay money to give their cut that "just caught in a drive-by look"???!!!

See I have all this down to an artform. Well, I tried. I use my redlight time very well (for texting, looking thru my purse, fixing my hair ect) And I can text without having to look at my phone - it's a skill that I possess, although I don't text and drive often at all. I sit at two of the longest redlights in Harco most days as well, so I'm pretty good to go I think :)

[McLovin]

Ah so you are the King of multi-tasking. The question is can you fix your hair, text, look through your purse, and drive at the same time? Actually...its probably best if you don't try that.

Wow, it's a good thing I avoid Harford County like AIDS; otherwise, I might see you doing this in your sticker-festooned vehicle and feel driven to violence. :cool:

[TGO]

This isn't directed to CamdenChick in particular but to everyone: if you think you can multitask while driving, you cannot. You just can't. It's been shown in test after test that people simply cannot drive while texting, eating, reading the newspaper, doing your hair, watching a movie, talking on the phone, looking through a bag, etc. There is maybe 1 person in 1000 who can do this and lose no driving ability.

The same applies to walking, running, and riding bikes, btw. And I suppose yachting and power boating. And railroad engineering. And flying.

I don't care how much stuff you can do at one time while you're sitting at your desk, you cannot do it while you are moving (and studies have also shown that most people do not multitask nearly as well as think even while stationary). The human brain and nervous system simply lack this ability.

[rolliefingers]

This isn't directed to CamdenChick in particular but to everyone:

You, sir, are a classy guy. I tip my cap to you.

I, however, am not at all classy. I wish to cause physical harm to Camden Chick. She's crossed me for the last time!




(note: None of the above is true. Especially the part about TGO - he farts in elevators! Not classy at all!)

[TGO]

Not farting in elevators is elitist.

BTW, this quote is about t-shirts, but I can't help but think of it:
Moe: "Do you have the one with Calvin peeing on Hobbes?"
Bart: "No."
Moe: "Do you have one with Calvin peeing on anything?"

Everything except ones about food. They suck.

[ChrisP]

OKWTHME :D

Nobody got this?

Agreed on the bullet holes....that's pretty stupid.

Here's another one...the stickers with (MB), (OB), (OC)
<Here's where we go on vacation>

Who cares....seriously, who cares? It started with (OB) and I've even seen (DCL) for Deep Creek Lake. Gimmie a break.... :002_scool:

Ahhh....Miller LT has made me a little cloudy this evening...Thanks for the correction. Sorry about your Dad.;)

[Pushmonkey]

I think I have seen one for a county actually. Sad.

[longflyball]

What's even worse are the people who are watching a TV in the dash while driving. On a funnier note, I once saw a woman reading a novel and driving at the same time. Three words: Book on tape.

I see drivers reading newspapers and magzines on a daily basis on the DC beltway. They're moving 5 MPH in stop-and-go traffic, so they're not going to kill anyone. But it's only a matter of time before they bang into someone. Hell, sometimes beltway traffic slams to a stop so fast you can bang into someone even while paying attention.

[CamdenChick]

Look Punk.... haha.

Oh and dude, I don't have bumper stickers on my car! I have 1 decal it's really small on my back windshield in the upper corner, that's all. And the awesome tags :)

[Why Not?]

Even worse are the lamely done, "tricked out" 4-cylinder turds that some members of the 18-25 crowd think throwing a coffee-can-sized exhaust tip, an erector set spoiler, and some decals drops 6 seconds off her quarter mile time.

I laughed hysterically when I heard a comedian making fun of "that guy" for having decals of what essentially amounts to a contents list for said car (if and when the vehicle is really equipped with Toro Tires, K & N Air Filters, Kenwood stereo, and work was done at EIP Tuning).

Dude...it sounds like a weed wacker and the chin-up bar on the trunk actually compromises the entire principal around having a spoiler in the first place. Besides...it's a Pontiac Sunfire. Just stop.

The one constant with cars like this is that there is never a girl in the passenger seat. If there IS a girl, it's the tool's sister. Dating always trumps excessive car accessorizing.

[scOtt]

I'm still looking for the decal where the Oldsmobile guy p!sses on the Ford logo....


:D

[Mad Mark]

01) Playing music so loud that MY cars shakes.. Give me a break.. It's not even worth imagining the little punk going deaf because most likely we as a society will have to pay for it in someway...

I can (somewhat) understand the desire to have the tunes crankin'...but I believe that comes with an obligation to own equipment capable of producing the sound you're trying to achieve! Nothing says "dumbass" quite like the sounds of overdriven woofers shredding at volumes they weren't meant to handle.

[DuffMan]

I once saw a guy that was shaving while driving his car!

[Dracula]

Ok this is a true story, hopefully not too inappropriate.

Back in the day when I was riding the school bus we passed a guy who was driving and had his laptop out on his lap watching porno...I kid you not.

[TGO]

I have seen one of those three letter stickers for Havre de Grace.

I kid you not. HDG.

I think it was supposed to be ironic. Or I hope it was.

[DurbBird]

Also, ladies, stop doing your hair/makeup while driving. I mean you guys are already bad enough at driving and this doesn't help.

I will stop messing with my glossy coif if the gentlemen will stop inspecting their nostrils up to the second knuckle. You're not invisible in there! I can see you!

An' what if I did do it? Even though I admit to nothing, and never will. What does that make me? And I'm not here just defending myself but all those Pickers out there who've been caught. Each an' every one of them, who has to suffer the shame and humiliation because of people like you.. Are we not human?! If we pick, do we not bleed?! I am not an animal!

[Maverick2143]

I see drivers on 95 and 83 doing this at 65 mph!! Newspapers draped over the steering wheel. Books open on the steering wheel. Writing in their portfolio. I do 75 miles a day from Harco to B'more and and back and see this kind of stuff all the time.

I never saw these until I moved to West Virginia. I really don't understand the impulse... the whole notion is so foreign to the way I was brought up. Why put something like that on your car???
