Default What do you hate most when driving your freshly cleaned RIDE?

1. Random water in the road for no reason! (arrrrrrrr)

2. The drunk ******* in the SUV who is riding in the shoulder kicking up gravel?

3. Dodging bits of blowen out tire, wood, and other crap going 90 down the freeway?

4. Road workers that decide to spray the stripes on the road in the middle of the afternoon in traffic? Can we say afterspray? (the worst)

5. T-tops off and the ******* in front of you flicks a cig out the window? (DUH)

What I hate the most here in WestTexas when I finish washing my ride. Is when the wind starts blowing and dust gets all over my car.

Clean or not my biggest beef is those piece of **** rigs/dumptrucks that blow gravel and dirt on your car. Alot of times those a-holes are in the left lane.

Getting on the freeway at 100 mph right after I wash her and when I stop later, I see all the water that poured out of the rear tail light area and onto the bumper!

Use the silicone-based rub-on kind instead of the spray-foam. There is less chance of spin-off and it lasts longer. The spary-foam stuff is water based. Some of the pump-spray stuff is water based and some of it is silicone based. The silicone based version is better. The spray-foam is quick-n-easy to use (I use it often myself), but when i want a better job, I use the rub-on silicone type.

People that water down the whole street when they water their lawn.

Landscapers with those blower backpacks blowin' their crap out into the street as I'm going by.

The worst ... The crews that patch the roads with loose asphalt and leave the loose stuff all over the road.

Finger prints, bird ****, puddles, pollen, etc all plague me, but the worst is those god damned love bugs. After driving down the interstate the front of my car looks like a phucking cactus

Yeah, I hate those damn love bugs. Hopefully they won't be as bad this year around here as they were last summer. I went to Wal-Mart and bought some Bug & Tar remover and washer fluid to prepare for them. lol

I actually had to teach my wife to flick the cigarettes out of the passenger window as opposed to just sticking 2 fingers out of the window and letting damn cigarette fly righ back. Too late though- a bunch of burn marks on bpillar and rear seat
