Things Jason hates...

[quote=""dbest671""]Around here

1. Truck with 5" lift kit parked in a handicap spot

2. Jeep or truck covered in crusty dirt with nothing but the windshield clean, but hasn't rained in three weeks

3. Any Cadillac owner (around here), minus the guy with a V3. They all drive 10mph under the speed limit.[/quote]

This is my goal for the forester lol

It's not the fact it's dirty that pisses me off. It's the fact clumps fall off going down the road, harden red clay mud is like rocks. It's why other's can't have nice things.

Why smart cars? That is an odd one.

People in BMW’s. Especially douchy dudes. Oh and let’s not forget cars with mud flaps or Bmx bikes strapped to the top.

Because for the same money, you could buy a real car with the same or better same gas mileage. Golf, Jetta, Civic, Corolla, Cruze, etc.

This isn't Europe. With the possible exception of super dense urban areas like NYC and Chicago, nobody needs a car that small. It's for someone who wants to be conspicuously "eco", but wants to show off in a snooty European branded car.

Frankly, it is amazing how poor of gas mileage you get in one of those SmartCars. 32-ish, which we could get in our 2007 Eclipse GT or even our old ‘96 Dodge Avenger. Hell, my Stingray can do that cruising on the highway in Eco mode.

Not really sure where the “smart” part comes into play with those.

Don't think I ever saw one of those in person.

[quote=""Duck Vader""]Say you are driving down the road and you see someone drive a "blank" vehicle. What car/truck/suv/etc makes you automatically lose respect for that person or dislike the person simply by what they chose to drive?[/quote]

Around here it's not so much the vehicle as the method of operating it that would make me lose respect for someone. The most popular vehicles around here seem to be Dodge Chargers, Dodge Challengers, Ford Mustangs, Jeep Wranglers, and crew cab pickups from the big 3. Apparently all of them are incapable of driving less than 15 - 20 mph over the speed limit, don't come equipped with turn signals, but do come equipped with a cell phone.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

My Swift gets 44mpg and I used to beat the piss out of that thing. Swapping in the 1.6 cost me .1 mpg on the exact same drive and it'll light up the tires from a 2nd punch.

I thought those little smart cars were electric only. Makes sense then.

The newest ones are. The older generation had a gas engine in the back. They're technically mid engine RWD

I remember that from top gear now. One of the first seasons. They were, are maybe still are, owned by Mercedes or something, right?

Perfect for a busa swap

[quote=""stealthee""]Looks douche.[/quote]

So trying to prevent your paint from getting damaged looks douche?
