What t's you off the most

I want to know what is the one thing that you see on someone's vehicle that you know your not having.

Here's mine:

Dirty, smudgy, kid fingerprinting windows. I have to have mine clear, clean and invinsible.

People that consider a puppy that was just thrown over a cliff as a useless animal, or compare it to a pig that became bacon and sausages.

OOps. oh this was for vehicle details.. yes, too much chrome, and ricer taillights.

When someone puts mint wheels with freshly dressed tires and sweet exhaust tips- on a primered bomb.

Why bother? Those new items do nothing for the appearance, they just make me laugh

You just reminded me of one. People that put old rusty licence plates on a brand new vehicle.

No paint imperfections, swirl marks, scratches, paint transfer, holograms, or oxidation. No solvent based heavy silicone tire dressing that slings all over the paint and attracts dust. No shiny, slipper, sticky interior dressings. Id also have to agree with no smudges on the windows. I cant stand it when people touch the paint or window to close the door. And no curb rash!

Agreed. The worst thing is when you damage your vehicle yourself. I'm more mad than when someone else does it.

you mean like the @hole in the parking lot who parks too close to you, then lets his opening door fly...DING

A buddy of mine got arrested some years back. Granted he let his temper go a little crazy, but it was both hysterical and scary to see this unfold live:

We were at a grocery store picking up ice for our cooler. This old woman in a caddy put her groceries in the car and rather than bringing the carriage over to the rack, just sent it rolling, but it wound up slamming into my buddys new Patriot edition F-150. He snapped. He asked her what her problem was, and she flipped him off and rolled up her window. He grabbed the carriage raised it over his head and "body slammed" it right over her hood.

Not to double up on some of the already great posts, when people think a car is a clipboard and are digging a pen into the paint of the car.

As for something that is just plain stupid:

Finger prints on the windows, candy melted to the carpet, and my all time fav is when someone sits something on the hood of my truck or my wifes Traileblazer.
