Slamming the door, sitting on the side of my seats and making the sides ugly, and the worst for me......closing my door with the window and leaving all those nasty fingerprints on my window.

This is why I try to avoid having girls wear heels if they're about to enter the car.

+1 I hate when people do this. This is a total LOSE-LOSE situation where they already slammed the door, and now I look like a prick telling them not to do it again.

Haha, this is my biggest pet peeve. Carrying a cone or 2 might not be a bad idea as I live in Miami with several thousands of horrible drivers.

people leaning on my car. slamming doors. people parking their shit on top of mine. people opening their door on my car. and ironically standing to close to it and kicking it. I guess i'm an asshole but I try hard to take good care of my car. to sum it up, I don't trust people!

Oh! And animal fur! If someone comes into my car with cat/dog fur on their clothing and transfers it to my seat covers; that's the worst. I have to pop out some duct tape and remove the fur right after. Nothing worst then embedded fur.

People who have never owned a sports car / toy car. These people are soulless and should all be shot.

I was going to get sidesteps, but even after 10 years of toy car ownership, i'm still amazed by the brazenness of others. Or outright clueless.


keys on dash board, wtf
scratching the dash board, wtf
not understanding how a 6point harness, i understand.
putting your feet on the bit of carpet that doesnt have a floor mat I dont.

finger prints on the doors, whats wrong with using the handle?

you bring something in to my car, take it the f@#k with you. this is not a trash can.

people leaning on fenders. they bend when they're metal, i dont want to know whats going to happen to wider carbon ones.

people who cant park. like seriously, wtf. this person needs a nun to whack a ruler across their fingers a few times. its 600 just for paint before we get in to how bad they hit your bodykit

door dings, its hard to have nice things, or you just have to have a parking spot everywhere. But my car is becoming a point A to point A car. Cant leave it outta my sight... wonder how i'll treat the rarrari

1. pull up beside me and ask me to race

2. skip shift when i let someone else drive the S

3. bring food or an open drink into the car

4. shutting door with seat belt in the way (i do this sometimes too and i curse at myself when it happens)

i gave up on parking a little while ago, but i do take precautions when i can - park as far away as i can, park around those who know how to park and are careful, etc.

^ the skip shift one seems self-induced!
