Dont like logging trucks--they only take up half the road---
usually the middle half.
Those suckers are big. Where one private logging road
crosses one of their mainroads the stop sign includes the
warning: "Our rigs take only 5 seconds to go through this
intersection---whether you are in it or not".

Bumpstop-riding eg civics with mismatched bodywork but hey, they've got the APC tailights and the tunable fart can.
What makes me more sick is people spending grands on 19's and bodywork, only to still leave their car in suckdom. I do like to see all the broken fiberglass that results from our vicious streets in town.
Most mustang/ camaro/ trans am/ corvette people because thye usually think their cars rule the world, and also generally watch nascar. I won't even get into nascar

there are _____ owners I would hate, and some that are damn cool. goes for every make and model. If they have a genuine interest in cars and mechanical stuff, arent arrogant about brands, and dont make stupid comments about stuff they dont know about I can respect them as enthusiasts.
there are cars that seem to have a pretty high tool factor though such as mk4 vws.
1994 Touring Wagon: ruby mica, 5mt swapped
Anything with a wing glued onto the back.
There is no way anyone between the ages of 16 and 30 can afford to have a street legal car that has been modified to the point of needing a wing.
Regardless of the simple fact that 90% of the wings I see on these Acuras and Toyotas are completely aerodynamically implausible.

I had a resident at the apartment complex I worked at who had a late 80's early 90's Toyota with a huge stainless wing and VTEC stickers. No bull. I "shot the shit" with him one afternoon and I asked him to open the hood. All I saw was an old, dirty yota motor.

My biggest beef is when I am talking to people, who think they know about cars, and tell me I am wrong about things that I know are for sure right.
And my biggest pet peeve along those lines are when people (mostly Domestic owners) try to tell me I am wrong about turbocharged stuff.
Then there is every goddamn Jap car owner who is "gonna turbocharge their car soon" so I ask them how they are gonna go about it "oh, gonna use a t3/t4 hybrid, blitz intercooler, HKS BOV, etc"
Then I ask them how they are going to go about making their engine management suited for such applications, they reply "huh?"
People who try to tell me that Carbs are better than EFI...and I usually dismiss their knowledge at that point... This idiot who was in Mechanical Engineering actually told me you could make more power with a Carb and FI...and I asked him when he got beaten with the stupid stick...
Chevy owners are terrible too, think they have the fastest shit on the road...
Then they get pissed when my Subaru makes more power than their "Built" 350

I must say, I don't "hate" anyone in the car community.
I hang out with lots of different folks, who know a variety about cars.
The people I don't like, are "american muscle" guys, who think that if it don't say FORD or CHEVY it's shit. That's just ignorant to me. I beat the SHIT out of American cars. I get to play with Subarus that beat the SHIT out of American cars. I rode in an STi today that beats Elises in Auto-Cross with a 275lb passenger and no swaybars (that's true too, by the way).
I like people who are genuinely interested in cars. I don't care their style, but I hate those who totally dismiss that an entire population of vehicles exists out there.
The people that think the Mustang Cobra is the bees knees and that us "Ferriners" won't be able to touch that "'Murican muscle".
That's what I don't like. The bone heads out there with nothing to lose and everything to prove (but not you tristian). The guys that get MAD and talk shit, if they lose a race. Or never let you forget if you lose. Or try to settle disputes by whos car is faster.
I also hate Paul Walker.... And I'd consider myself a car guy, but I probably couldn't name every version of the 911 without missing one or two. I could describe to you, at great length, how exactly a manual transmission works though.
