Annoying Cars.

[Dogstar]

I think about vomiting every time I see a Prius.

I got over Priuses (Prii?) the first time I saw one of these on the road:

I just wish we could get to legit electric engines more quickly. Battery tech is really holding stuff up, and will in the future.

I love the possibilities of more power, more efficviency, and less maintenance that electric engines offer.

But I will always miss the growl of a Big Block V8 like the 454.

Repeat after me:

It's always the asshole in the Prius.

Consider yourself lucky. At least they don't follow you around and try to get you to race their piece of shit car every single fucking time you're out driving.

I foolishly thought my Supra would be a pussy magnet when I was building it.. wrong!... it's a total dick magnet. Fast and furious ricers with fart can exhausts on their civics/jettas/etc flock to it like moths to a flame. Not a day goes by without some dickbag giving me a fly-bys or pacing me while they take their phone out and take pics/vids.

Don't get me wrong, those once in a blue moon opportunities when you find someone in a built Cobra/Porsche/Ferrari that want's to play are definitely fun but the other 99% of the time it's always the douchebags in the stock civic with an exhaust, and dumbass "stanced" wheels that wants to race me in stop and go bumper to bumper traffic. :facepalm:

 

[Globetrotter]

To each their own.

I get worse looks in a built 4th gen Camaro in comparison to my "ricer" Honda..

I ran stock exhaust on my modded civic until it literally blew the baffles out of the muffler. The 3" exhaust is loud and drones like crazy but I gained like 30hp.



The car doesn't matter, it comes down to the individual driving. If you're a ******, you're a ******.

 

[Jester]

It's annoying to others and looks a bit douchey honestly. A guy I work with has a modded civic and he is 46 years old. He is a nice guy, but he really thinks he loks awesome in that car and everyone laughs at him at work for looking like a dork in it.

 

[Globetrotter]

I have tinted windows so people cant see my 30-sometihng year old, nerd-ass for that reason. I enjoy it *shrug*...

I also laugh at the 1990 corolla with the craigslist fart can pegging the limiter as much as anyone, though.

True, but bro that's not riced out at all. These are the kinda turds I'm talking about...

I've found that smegma-encrusted ******-nozzles seem to be drawn to Priuses, Leafs, Volts, Teslas, and any other electric or hybrid car like a moth to a flame or like Roseanne to a buffet.

It's like the felchers think that because of some imaginary carbon credits it gives them the right to commit multiple moving violations.

It's why I also cheer any large diesel truck that rolls coal on their hipster natural fire asses.

 

[biscuit_in_the_basket]

LOL...and Asians.

Seriously though, I've seen(and heard)these simple modifications on cars w/standard exhaust packages(no dual)...a small cylinder that replaces a standard tailpipe.

Sounds like shit, so I'm wondering if they do anything other than annoy everyone else.

Given that some people belived that you could put a grounding cable to your transmission or something like that, to get better performance I wound no be surprised if they think the mods help.

 

[1COBearsfan]

When I was a kid, installing headers on old V-8's made them better...a deep throaty sound.

Nowadays, kids install exhaust systems on shitty 4 bangers to make them sound like giant insects/2 cycle motors.

Why do they do this?.

Most of them do it because they think it sounds "race-y". If you do it properly it can return better fuel economy and power

 

[Crystallas]

People still haven't realized that fad ended in like 2007?

2007?

Can I ask when you graduated HS? Because it seems this fad is relative to someone's exposure to teenagers with cars.

 

[botfly10]

People that drive SUVs the size of a semi to the grocery by themselves. Or to run their kids around in them. I have anger management problems around those morons.

 

[xer0h0ur]

So I take it you don't approve of Tommie Harris' ride.

While it's true that the eco/green movement has taken over the image of electric motors, some of us just want electric motors to see faster cars. Electric motors have much higher efficiency than combustion engines with few moving parts. While combustion engines reach 30-45% efficiency, electric engines can reach 90-98% efficiency.

This would lead to better performing more reliable faster vehicles and more fun !

Wut about peeps that drive trucks?

Beware of the following sticker:

My son or daughter is an honor roll student at_____.

These people drive like shit, we don't care about your children...move your ass!.:lol:

This is what I don't understand, modified rice burners are a dime a dozen.

Yet classic muscle cars such as this can be had pretty cheap...plus nobody else on the road has one:

And they are easier to maintain with less shop tools.

 

[LordKOTL]

Wut about peeps that drive trucks?

Most of the poeple around here who drive trucks actually use them for truck purposes: Hauling or off-road.
Most of the people who drive SUV's around here use them as grocery getters.

While it's true that the eco/green movement has taken over the image of electric motors, some of us just want electric motors to see faster cars. Electric motors have much higher efficiency than combustion engines with few moving parts. While combustion engines reach 30-45% efficiency, electric engines can reach 90-98% efficiency.

For electrical vehicle theory I agree with you. The issues to iron out are getting that power to the road efficiently, and of course the battery problem. Battery tech is not in it's infancy, it's in the fetal stage. It may work for commuters, where you can leave the vehicle chargin overnight or at work, but if you're dealing with road trips or long hauls, you're looking at 40 minutes for the Tesla, while it takes maybe 1/2 minutes to fill up a gas tank. And, for the hybrids, your average european turbodiesel gets as-good, if not better, mileage. If electric vehicles can get the charging time for their batteries to about 5Mins for a full-charge and about 400 miles on a single charge, I would have no issues with owning them. Then of course, there's always the pollution angle when you're recycling the E-vehicle, which has to be ironed out.

Still, the problem, especially round here, is the self-righteous attitude the Hybrid/E-vehical owners have--like the rules of the road don't apply to them because of the imaginary carbon credits they're saving. They will cut you off, text while driving, fail to signal, make illegal turns, etc (all without the fuzz in sight).

Hence: It's always the asshole in the Prius.

I don't understand the hate, vehicles are a very small amount, if any contribution to global warming. The big issues are the coal plants that are growing in China for instance. I do believe here at home we are taking those down slowly but the best route for us to take for power in the future is nuclear power.
