The Herd's List of the Most Annoying Things About Cars Ok, so I got really bored one night and came up with a bunch of dumb stuff that really bugs me. You know, stupid things people say about and do to their cars that becomes really annoying because it's...well...stupid. The Herd has put together this list of things based on what we've observed. This list is totally based on opinion and just for fun. It's not meant to offend anyone, well, perhaps only the people that we're making fun of. But only a little bit. If there's anything you'd like to see included in this list that we have not mentioned here, email us at u2nakstang2002@hotmail.com. We'll review the request for posting. Thanks and enjoy! • NUMBER 5 - Souped vs. Built Personally, we can't stand it when people say, "My car is souped-up." Not only does it sound totally frickin' gay but it reminds me of a Campbell's soup commercial. It's sounds way cooler when you say, "My car is built up." Makes it sound like you actually know what you are talking about. • NUMBER 4 - The Infamous Ricer "Fly-by" It's the only way a ricer can feel superior in a race which he loses. Once you win and let off, he floors it, passes you and keeps on going. • NUMBER 3 - "Sticker-charged" cars I've been seeing fewer and fewer of these around. But they can still be found. Sporting stickers from Vortech, BBK, Holley, Jegs, and the list goes on and on. We say, if you ain't got it, don't advertise it. Kinda gives the wrong impression anyway. I don't know whether it's meant to scare or impress. Probably both. It's funny when I ask them what do they really have done to it and they respond with "nothing". The best part about this is when they lie to you and just out of curiosity you ask them if you can look under their hood. • NUMBER 2 - Ricers We hate ricers something fierce. I don't care if the whole car is lit up like Las Vegas on a Saturday night or has a single fart can and nothing else. To us, that's a ricer. It's even more wrong when it's done to a domestic car, especially a Mustang. May as well put the poor car out of it's misery. I'm sorry but a four foot-tall aluminum wing, a $500 body kit, a multi-color paint job, and a fake carbon fiber dash isn't going to make the car any quicker (if one is going for performance, that is). They pull up next to you at the light thinking their little import is gonna stomp all over your Mustang because they spent more money on ricing out their shitbox than you spent on gears and exhaust. Suffice to say, many ricers have learned their lesson the hard way. • NUMBER 1 - It's WHEELS not RIMS This one is my all-time number one annoyance. First of all, the definitions are completely different. And they didn't call it the "invention of the wheel" for nothing. Many have the misconception that the rim is the entire assembly. This is false. Without the tire, it is just wheel. Once a tire is fitted, it then becomes a wheel and tire assembly. WHEEL: A solid disk or a rigid circular ring connected by spokes to a hub, designed to turn around an axle passed through the center. Something resembling such a disk or ring in appearance or movement or having a wheel as its principal part or characteristic. RIM: The usually curved or circular border or edge of an object. The circular outer part of a whole wheel, furthest from the axle. A circular metal structure around which a wheel tire is fitted.
