nitrous injection press on logos
blue led nitrous purge kits
scoote hoods
led shift knobs
front custom seats in crazy colors while leaving the rear seats...untouched.
excessive bass to the point you see the trunk of a car rattle before you hear it.

Yeah.... My trunk does not rattle though. that's another peeve of mine. I share that one with you.
Here's my numbered list of my peeves about stereo systems:
1. People who have rattling trunks and parts on the car. - use some god damn foam tape. It's that simple.
1. People who perpetually drive through neighborhoods with the music turned up. -Do that on the highway.
1. People who turn up their radio and do not have any bass in the car- get some bass.
1. People who turn up the music to the point where it distorts the music. -Get some better ears, it sounds like crap.
1. People who have 3 subwoofers and a stock radio.- Your stock radio only needs one subwoofer.
God... I could go on forever and I probably will in this thread.

1. Fashion over functionality.

let me elaborate on the last post:
1. oversize wheels on sports car- it was designed to turn well and you reduced it's functinoality
1. heavy wheels on a sports car- it was designed to go fast, and you reduced it's functionality
1. too narrow wheels - it was designed to grip well and you reduced it's functionality
1. body kit that hinders movement- it was designed to take roll and you reduced it's functionality
1. oversize extreme downforce wing - it's aerodynamics were tuned from the factory and you reduced it's functionality.
1. pretty much any mod that reduces functionality.
