3) The drivers are obnoxious kids who all speak some sub-english language that is impossible to understand and offensive to have to listen to: "you be", "they is", "it be", "yo dog", "Dis Be My G Car", "Yo Yo Yo".
4) Said drivers sometimes get out of the cars... then you have to see them walking around with their pants haning halfway off their butts. [Someone PLEASE explain that!!!! I've even seen the pants hanging off when the person has a belt on.]
5) They are an eye sore. [both the drivers and the cars].
6) Lowered pickup trucks. Look ma, I've got 10 extra feet of car, only get 14 miles per gallon, and since I lowered it I can't haul a damn thing so the bed might as well not be there at all!
7) The drivers all seem to think they are auditioning for the movie the fast and the stupid.
8) A Honda Civic is NOT a hot rod. Give Up!
9) Those huge exhaust tips. Trust me, a tip 8 inches across on the end of a 2 inch wide exhaust pipe will NOT reduce the back pressure to the engine.
10) Most of the drivers seem to have their seats practically in a reclined position so that they have to stretch out their arm (not arms) to reach the wheel. This is not safe. You can barely see their heads above the window ledge which means that they can't see a whole lot either.
11) The stress of constantly having to keep myself from yelling "SIT UP" "PULL YOUR PANTS UP" "TURN THAT DAMN HAT AROUND THE RIGHT WAY" "SPEAK ENGLISH" "TURN THAT NOISE OFF" "FIX YOUR CAR" "WHERE ARE YOUR PARENTS!? WHO IS YOUR PROBATION OFFICER?!" "TIE YOUR SHOES".
