My wife's Saturn just keeps beeping and flashing at you until you fill the washer fluid. The first time it did that, I thought the car had a bomb or something. "Motor will self destruct in 10 seconds"

When people insist on pulling out in front of you to get in a left-turn lane, and seem to be happy that they keep you and many others from making a right turn. WTF?

That seems like an odd thing to monitor. I'd think engine oil would be more critical, but what do i know.

BOT: Aholes who pull out in front of you, cuz they are in too much of a rush to wait for you to pass by, and then drive all grandma like in front of you. What was the hurry then *****bag?

I went camping this weekend and borrowed my parents 09' Hyundai Santa Fe and I have a few gripes with this car now. 1) The tire pressure sensor lights up the dash if its 1 psi off where it should be & cannot be turned off manually. 2) The car will not stop beeping at you if the door is open whether the car is on or off. 3) The map lights in the front will not turn off unless all doors are closed. 4) The cruise control doesn't stay where you set it.. the car will go +/- 5 mph of where you set it.

Its a great car I know it will last forever but these little things can be crazy irritating after a few days!

^Screw that. I'd have to make some modifications. Especially the cruise control, wtf. Well I'd probably never use it haha. That's a cool avatar too. Do they make a widebody kit for the MS6? If not, they should.

Well, YOU don't need it but it's there for a reason so clearly there are idiots out there that do need it LOL. Reminds me of an episode of Home Improvement where Tim was yelling at Jill for not taking care of the problem when the idiot light came on and her rebuttal was "well I was expecting it to make a noise or something to tell me it needed servicing", to which he replied "It's a car Jill, not a gameshow!" LOL

Well, it IS a Saturn. Oh wait, I think those are more reliable than rotaries. Nevermind LOL.

Oh trust me if the speaker for the door ajar was in plain slight it would have gone straight to the campfire!
I fixed the map lights always being on with a piece of duck tape

The avatar is an old picture I photoshopped for a contest, its an MS6/Porsche 911 GT3 hybrid heheh I wish it was real!

What grinds my gears is when i hear high school kids say they would get so many girls if they had a supra or rx7.....well the whole having a sweet car that is a chick magnet is hype.....its more like a dude magnet...

lol i know right. in a 7 you dont have girls going "can i ride in your car?" its more like "why does it always smell like gas?"

in a 8? maybe. but a 7? somewhat rare. unless you got the veilside fortune kit.

That's a good looking rendition Regulator! Good work!

Yeah I think if anything, the 7 is ANTI-poon. Fortunately I could give a shit about this because I love my car regardless LOL.

^^Um... no way.

IF (and this is a big if) a girl knows what the hell a 7 is, especially the FDs, it could probably help. Unfortunately, not a lot of girls know what they are or what they look like.

Personally, I like guys with nicer cars. Especially ones they work on and take care of. I'd take a guy with an RX7 that's in nice shape and fast over one that had an M3 and it was a piece of crap... but that's not the only thing I look for so there's a lot of play in that.

I hate people that walk down the center of a drive in a parking lot and don't move when they see you trying to drive past. So you are stuck driving so slow that it is hard not to stall the car. Why is it so hard to walk on the side of the lane with your cart, I bet you aren't 20 something feet wide.

I usually get up right behind them and start reving my motor. The usually move real quick.

That's why I say it's anti, because most don't know what it is. That coupled with the reasons Ian listed, pretty much kills a guy's chances, unless he finds someone like you that knows and appreciates what it is.

That's when you need a two-step and just roast the tires, that tends to get the message across lol.

Bahahahaaaa... reminds me of this one time when this punk skateboarding decides to be cool in front of his freinds. They were off to the side at Cherry Creek Mall doing tricks and he decides to hope off his board and run into the intersection as I was pulling up to the stop sign. The kid decides to walk all slow when he reached the front of the car. Revved it up and poped the clutch. Tires spun like crazy. (Bald Tires most likely) Lucky for him they didn't grab making me jump forward. You should of seen him kick it into high gear. Hilarious!

But for reals I've seen people that could be nearly 20' wide.
