What really burns me is the new M6 has an unpainted carbon fiber roof. If I spent $96,000 on a car for your information the M6 sticker price is 109,000 dollars. ---

I cold go on and on, but I’ll keep it short and sweet. I agree with the cf, I hate ricers, neon all that crap, Fart can mufflers, stereo’s that are all bass, bumper stickers that are put on crooked, people who swing left to turn right and arn’t driving a semi, people who start asking question about your car and try to carry on a conversaton and have no idea what they are talking about, and you guys may have never heard this term cuz it;s old school: ‘three quarter race cam’, that is my number one pet peeve. ---

I hate neons, mini coopers, saturns, pt cruisers and sunfires. i hate when people drive the speed limit in general. i’m always in a hurry so move the fuck over. i hate when people put on their turning signal 10 minutes before they actually turn. i hate when people forget the turn off their turning signal. i hate it when people have on their windshield wipers WAY too fast when it is hardly raining and i am driving behind them. i hate it when old people pull over to the side of the road just to get behind you and tailgate you. and last but not least i hate it when i’m driving and random people flip over my hood. that dents ya know. and tint FTW ---

If you are such a baller that you can afford that sick CF hood, you should paint the fucking thing. Again, this is another look that was awesome back in '98.

Why are they going so fast when it is barely raining? Aparrently no one ever learned about intermittent(sp?) wipers? ---

> [@Mrs. Karus](#): > > ^ LOL word! i thought it was only me. drives me off the wall. No man… every time I see it I wanna bash their heads in with their wipers. God… it’s to a point where when it is ever so slightly raining I look for it because I know I’ll see it. I don’t get it… if I put mine on super sonic (or even regular steady wiping) they jump around because it’s to dry to run them that fast… plus I look like a retard like them. ---
