Pretty narrow minded, don'cha think??

I drive with the top down every single minute I can -- normally with the windows down, but if I can extend the top-down season as it gets colder by rolling the windows up and turning up the heat, you betcha they're going up!

Snow plow drivers and their "helpers" with the blades on tractors that "clear" the roads and parking lots of snow and ice. They push it into great big piles that take weeks to melt where, if they hadn't touched it would be gone in days! The melting mountains keep the roads, etc. wet, full of salt etc. way longer than if they had done nothing. And in my case keeps my car in the garage!




DANG IT,,,,WANNA DRIVE IT



How do you guys up north take it?




oops, I,,,,nevermind!

How some people tell me I should drive my "garage queen" more and really enjoy it. Little do they know that simply having it in my garage and only driving it on beautiful summer days is a true joy to me.

RUBBER NECKERS!!! Can't count the times I've been held up in traffic only to find out that the accident is on the other side and everyone in front of me was slowing down to look over

As far as what others do with the cars, like many here, that doesn't phase me much...its their car, their money, to each his own. If they ASK me for my opinion, I'm always polite and honest and tell them what I think (good or bad) but otherwise I just keep it to myself\

Sometimes I need to talk on a cell phone

Or want to go topless during mild 60 degree weather

I may look ridiculous but I still look 10X cooler then a coupe.

Mine is forum members who don't fill out their information and then asks about pet peeves

Got it. Sorry.

Also when I park as far a way as I can, come out and find people parked on both sides of me when there is a whole parking lot of empty spaces. It's like a vette magnet that draws people to it. (can ya blame em?)
People that don't pay attention.

Isn't this fun?

I hate people that are too dumb or too lazy to get all the snow and ice off their car before driving off. I double hate people that are so lazy that they don't even fully clear off the windows. It's amazing how many morons get in their car and drive without even clearing the rear window.

How about the people who park the cart in front of or beside their car because they're too lazy to walk fifteen feet to the cart return?

And then you have to move it so you can park and/or so it doesn't roll into your car...And no, you'll never catch me with my 'vette at Wal-Mart!

"Inconsiderate people who choose to park next to my car and as a result cause damage to my car with their door or cart."
