pet peeves

I hate opening a hot rod magazine or truck magazine and seeing a beautiful Ford truck *******ized with a Ch**y motor. And I wouldn't want to see a Ford motor in a Ch**y. Someone said it well on another post (this site or elsewhere): Why do these folks spend years, hundreds to thousands of hours, tens of thousands of dollars to rebuild a beautiful Ford truck and then put a cheapo Ch**y motor in it? Their reason? "Too expensive to build a Ford motor." Duh!

Aztecs, What is it with them? I have been on the road a lot these past couple of weeks and everywhere I go I see one of them! Are there that many crazy people out there? I have seen six different ones today alone. I studied the front end of one of them at a job site today. I never really took the time to do so. I just could not believe that people would pay good dollars for one of those. Man! Just my thought of the day. Jake.

I never even knew what an Aztec was until I read this thread. People around here don't buy those things. Atleast not yet.

People who drive with cell phones. They don't pay any attention to the road, drive wherever they please, cut people off without even realizing it, and they get angry at you when you honk at them to avoid a collision!

people who raise their trucks 4-6 inches and then stick 32-35 BFG's or some other generic goofy tires and call it a mudder.

people who put a K & N air filter on their vehicle, and call it a performance mod.

people who build street-queens!!!! if you build it, mud it

it's a jeep thing, you wouldn't understand

when you pull into a 7/11, and your truck is covered with mud, and some dumb sh#t says, "been in the mud":

Bright rainbow colors flashing at me from a quartz crystal hanging off somebody's rear view mirror.

Cars and trucks lowered by putting small wide wheels on them. They are about the stupidest looking thing on the road. Saw a Ford Explorer like that and it looked like he would easily bottom out on small bumps. Guy took turns very slowly to avoid too much body roll.

Cigarette butts flicked out of windows. These folks can't stand dirtying their cars with ashes, but they will fill their lungs with that crap. Go figure!

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 06-Apr-01 AT 03:30 PM (EST)[/font][p]1. The little *******s who drive their rice burnin' little cars and stop next to you and want to race. Then when you blow their doors off they spend the next 5 miles mad ******* you! One little nut got to cocky. Basically he got pissed because he lost the race to the next stop light and then proceeded to make swerving gestures as if he was going to hit my truck. Not only that but he had to fling coke bottles and miscellaneous crap from his car at my truck. Followed him until he pulled into a parking lot. Out came the crowbar and about 210lbs of redneck rage!!!! I do believe he crapped his pants from the smell emanating from him and his car. Just some stupid little 17 year old kid thinking he was a big boy!!!

2. The load thumper crap coming from some stupid lowrider!
3. Idiots who slam a good truck, especially duellies and then paint it deep puke purple/red and put gold trim on it.
4. Guys who have a good truck but then put on those stupid lookin tires that are about 10" is diameter and about 2' long.
5. Drivers who don't pay attention to what their doing such as applying make up, cellphone usage, horsing around in the car while driving.
6. The little vato cholos here in New Mexico who have to maddog everyone and if you look back at them they get pissed off and say they're going to kick your ##### essay bro!
7. Again the little twerps who drive these tiny cars and act like they own they road.
8. People who litter and then look at you like there's something wrong with you for staring at them! I usually honk my horn and point at them!
9. People who cut in front and then either get mad at you or try to hide their faces.
10. People who run red lights.
11. People who blaze down residential streets.
12. People who don't take car of their cars and don't care if it pumps out blue or black smoke!
13. Pedestrians who walk out in front of you and expect you to stop on a dime!
14. People who open their car doors and put a dent in your car and then take off quickly like nothing happened. Last person who did this lost their front windshield!
15. The final one! People who are just genuine *******s!

1994 Ford F150

-Honda civics w/ foldgers can exhausts on them thinking their "cool" or "fast".
-Jap crap in general especially their "trucks".
-Every idiot in the world wanting to race me when i drive the Mustang.
-I don't know about the rest of the world but the Ch*vy drivers around here think they have the baddest trucks period.I've had other drivers wave and nod to say "cool truck" or "nice car" but those stupid Z-71 owners never show any respect for anything that isn't a GM. The other day I gave the "that's cool" nod to a guy in an old Ch**y that was jacked up and covered in mud and I swear he scowled at me. Their so RUDE around here. Even the Dodge boy give me some respect.
-Z-71 "off road". Those things are such a Joke. I honestly researched them and was discusted w/ what i found. they have a 3 piece frame (weak buy design), they have alot of horse power but their torque (which isn't all that impressive) peaks at 4000 rpm. Torque is needed down low for a truck not at 4k, that's stupid. they still use the same POS 10 bolt rear that's been the laughing stock of the four wheelin world for years. They sit WAY too low and have a pathetic 25deg approach angle, "off road" yeah right.
-Old people who drive 10 or more under the speed limit.
-Cell phones being used while driving. I believe that studies have shown that this is as dangerous as drinking and driving, so why aren't these people being arrested?
-Litter bugs also irritate me greatly. Maybe they don't mind living in a pig sty but I don't like it. I'm no "Eco-Freak" but this is just common cutosie(sp?)
-Japanese trucks, I know I said it before but this irritates me to no end.
Boy, I gripe alot don't I? Maybe I need to relax a little
"Like a Rock"; on the sides of roads everywhere.
