Says the cosmetic tubmlr girl with a phone on their face, which is bigger than their boyfriend’s whistle.
They won’t get the whistle until they get that THING off their face.
When I first got my Civic I washed it the next day. While I’m washing my mom proceeds to come out and say “There are 2 more in the driveway. Mind washing those too?” I was about 👌this close to hitting her with my bucket haha
Strange, when they told me that I simply said, “Yeah, sure” and laughed with them…
My pet peeve “your exhaust is too loud you should fix it to make it quieter” if someone says this you know they will be at the hospital because I broke 1 or 20 bones.
why not 99% of them to simply warn them
When you ask a non-car guy what car he drives and he answers “a blue one”
Those who believe you didn’t work for your car, or even work on it.
“You’re car is broken, its way too loud. You need to fix it” or anything in the “Your car is too loud” nature
There’s also the common phrase “You must get all the ladies” , no. I get all the cops looking at me. That’s what I get.
“You should go back to stock” u w0t mate?
I got one! “Did you watch the football game?”
I have to agree with the first one, the legal top speed must be respected
Well this guy tries to be responsible and you downvote him? I also think it should be respected, at least when there are cops around.
i have that one friend that thinks my bmw e36 318i sounds just like a bmw e46 m3 “facepalm”
stock exhuast
Or when another type of car guys hates the types of cars you like. (Muscle guys to import guys and vice versa)
