didnt mention anything about the cars ability, just calling out the drivers who are willing to spend butt loads of money on their cars but dont spend a few grand for a decent driving school, or even a few hundred for a hpde to learn how to drive them to their full potential. they get scared at the first sound of tire sqeal and try to make up for their bruised ego by blowing by you at twice the speed limit.

You better have some serious mods to be able to do that.

I swear to God, if all you have is some m4d TEIN susp3nSi0nz...omg.

It certainly sounded like you were bashing the cars AND the drivers, not just the drivers.

Ok, lets get it started:

I hate CRX's, old civic hatches, 3rd generation f-bodies, Beat-up "drift" S13's, almost all VWs (I work at a dealership, I'm allowed to hate them), and a lot of shit that I'm probably forgetting.

I don't like VWs. I'm serious. I'm not saying that because I own one and I'm trying to be funny. I don't like my car and I don't like other VWs. I don't even really like R32s. I understand the appeal of R32s and the fact that they are a lot NICER car than an STI or EVO, but in the ~$30k segment let's just face it...it really comes down to performance. The only people that think R32s are great handling cars are people that only have experiance with OTHER VWs. That's because other VWs handle like shit. The concept behind VWs is good but leave it up to Ze Germans to overengineer a $20k car.
I also do not like Neons or SRT4s, which I'm sorry to all you weird ass pridefull SRT4 owners....are the same fucking car. An SRT4 IS a Neon. It's a fast one granted, but it's a damn neon.
Hyundais, Kias, and Scion XAs and KBs will always be kinda dorky, along with those little egg shaped Civic Sis.
F Bodies? LS1s are great motors, but that chassis is the absolute definition of a pile of crap. I don't think worse chassis has rolled off the assembly line since the old Chrysler K-cars.

Damn dog, ouch.

On a lighter note, I came in 3rd overall (out of ~500) this past weekend at the BMW Homecoming Driving School road course portion. I'd love to meet you on an on-ramp.


But I don't like ricey Hondas, scions, primer cars of any variety and the jackasses that most likely drive them. I can respect any car that is fast though.
