Went to the subcontinent for new years...Taj Mahal etc... anywho, you honk to:

overtake
slide in behind someone
tell someone to go faster
let someone know you are behind them

and after hours this is supplemented by flashing your lights. Also no bus/truck has a normal "beep" they all play melodies...hehe

Basically the honking/beeping/melodies NEVER stop.

as far as cars im sick of seeing, has to be Hyundai Excels...not because i hate korean cars per se, but because there can be no justification for so many Excels in Canberra having massive F1 style wings.

basically, i dont like any cars where the parts that people put on them, cost more than the car itself.

E.g. $2500 '95 Excel with a $900 set of wheels and tyres, and a bodykit which cost $1800...

same goes for most jap and korean cars, pulsars (i dont give a damn how good the engine is, it doesnt make up for the crappy interior and build quality, honestly i like cars for the namesake, and the quality it carries.

Oh thats not nice. I think everyone will agree that the most annoying car you see everywhere for more then one reason is the Current shape lancer. Omg go the zim zim exhaust, chrome mags, and the ugly bits of junk

Hilux's/Rodeo's that are that low, you wouldn't be able to cart anything around anyway... Why bother doing it to a ute? Really... : :MrT_anim:
They are designed to put stuff in the tray, not have half the tray cut away to fit the diff thru when the rest of the ute sits on the tar.... Ricer wannabe's!!! :

The other day pulled up next to a kitted Hyundai Accent, with a 18-22 yo male? driving. And i mean kitted! Plastic everywhere, sounded like a fart in a coke can and playing Barbie girl flat out. Thought i'd stir him up a bit with my 2.4 Holden Shuttle on gas and rev it like i was gonna racehim. Well wasn't he serious. First gear dump wheels spun a bit and he pulled away slowly, only cause i casually drove off. Then he had the nerve to slow down wait for me and flatten again ,Four times. I'm well sick of seeing that car. Oh and the dude who thought his series 4 RX7 was gonna beat the cortina.

i'm sick of seeing VL and VN 2 VS's i mean come on. and they all try and race you. They pull up next to me and i see them, and they all say. what a pi$$y little Laser, i can beat it for sure, and they rev, and rev, and get your attention, then green lights, foot to the floor and hes bogged it, while my Laser is waiting for him at the next set of lights, so they try again,.

sure they have a bigger motor, but are heavy as all f#*k.

mind you my laser is a 1.8 5 speed manual, with K&N filter and da cannon. (i know) and a driver with some know how. (thats how crappy the P-platers are they can't beat me :nutsycuck )

And i have noticed a few Lowlux and Lowdeo's around...

but my car is a Rice car....... thats cause my last name is RICE. :

VN's and shoeboxes that the smaller the displacement of the engine the larger the pathetically idiotic rear spoiler.

Ummm, so you're saying that Ford is the last word on build quality? I know of a few died-in-the-wool Ford fans who will argue otherwise.

1.Rusted out EA's with half a bumper hanging off and a empty crumbled VB can on the parcel shelf

2. Vl's on stockies with exhausts (or without for that fact)

3. VQ statesman's and the like... yes some may have a v8 but their weight is comparable to a german tank

4. B.I.B.C - Blokes In Cars (self explanatory) eg. One Fully sick tilted hat person driving a suzuki swift, seat reclined and 4" factory speakers crackling...

5. LANCERS Oh my god.. im so sick of them... wait heres something different a LOUD lancer with 14's..

6. TAXI's...

7. 3 series bmw's.. they are just not cool.. they are buckets, go nowhere and often accompany a "my dont stink" attitude..

the list can go on al day..

Not really sick of any car but what annoys me are the people who stick a spoiler,rims or milo tin etc on a car and the only taste they have is in thier backside, then drive it around like they are some sort of racer ( or should i say ricer ).

Lancers with Evo kits and drum brake rear ends or rexes with overly big chrome wheels that'd have to weigh a ton. Dumb *** Nissan Cefiros and these Japanese VIP imports that are coming over with Merc badges n . Anything with an RCK sticker on the back. Lambo doors on something other than a Lambo... the list goes on!
