It really grinds my gears when someone in front of me is merging on to the highway (65mph speed limit) only doing like 40mph and takes the next mile or so to even get up to 55mph. This happens to me about 3-4 times a week going to work. Inevitably it's a car that is more than capable of getting to full speed on the on ramp but just refuses to do so!

Left Lane Hogs!

Keep right except to pass and travel in the right lane. What is so F'n hard for these idiots to understand and the left lane is not for them to set their cruise control at the speed limit. Yes, I'm the guy behind you flashing my lights.

Rant over

Back when I was in college and myself an obnoxious idiot I used to get into it with them fairly often in my Audi S4 and I had no problem torching the vast majority of them. Every Camaro SS on here is certainly faster than that S4 was, so in Atlanta at least the odds are good that the guy revving the "POS" next to you is NOT in fact faster. I'm still giving you a 80% chance of being faster in a V6 Camaro.
THIS! here in AZ most ricers are POS as well. This wasn't me bashing Ricers or imports. It was just me saying that most of the guys who drive them around here are douche bags and think their cars are fast when it fact, they are not.

Don't get me wrong, my car is a V6 and some ricers are indeed capable of taking on my car with ease.

I'm that a**hole in the left lane going 10 mph over the speed limit and putting your car in check when you try and pass me in the right lane by speeding up to where you can't pass me. I love it!

Forgot to mention...only to ricers though! Love dropping the hammer on them.

"our" very own

And I'm not being a douche, if you understood what I'm talking about and weren't being arrogant on the subject, you'd get what I'm saying about slow rice burners! Wish you lived where I did!

Hahaha your so right. Someone should make a thread where people just reveal how much of a douche bag they are in their Camaros. Love the whole "I'm the a** Hole that does this"

I should have said, this statement is not for the OP.

Sorry for not clarifying..

With that said, why do you care what others do to their car? They are just having fun with their car as you are yours.. Ricer or not, not every kid/adult has the funds to go balls out, doesn't mean they don't enjoy what they have or the mods they do/can afford..

And fact is still some of those so called ricer's can take down most of the Camaros on this forum and visa versa. There will always be someone out there that is a better driver with a car faster and better no matter what they drive..

Respect and respect will be givin, maybe not with everyone but that next guy can be someone cool as other "REAL/TRUE" car guys.

We all share the same hobby, respect is received when it is given and it just may be that the "ricer" next to you has a faster POS than yours.
I feel like I've put a lot of effort into doing my car "right". Not too conservative, but enough that it looks special. However, once I get the car paid off I'm hitting up Rodger's Chevy for a Spark. And I'm toying around with the idea of hard core ricing it. Like joining a rice forum and going to rice meets. It's the exact same passion and love of cars that drives ricers they are just a little more (well... much more) over the top than the muscle car scene. I'd really be interested in seeing this world from the inside and figuring out why it draws so many people in. After that? I'm donking a 90's Cadillac. Lather, rinse, repeat.

What grinds my gears?

People who purchase over-sized ugly ass "DUB" rims and put them on our beautiful cars. Some horrific examples...

http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=356797


Please make it STOP! And that's crap coming from our own community! WHY!!??!!??

Bigger is NOT better. And to the guy that put 24" gold rims and gayed out his ZL1 with green and gold chrome paint (yeah, you know which one I'm talking about). Crush that car and never touch another again. You don't have any style and it DOESN'T look cool.

Lambo doors. It's not cool. Unique? Ok, few others have it, but it makes you look like a ricer. Yo dog! You rock yo! WHA WHA!!

Neon lighting/halos in, under, and around the car. Neon lighting was cool back in the 90's. Last I checked we were long past that era.

Hockey stripe option on our Camaros. BLAH.


Other then how people screw up our cars visually, the typical slow left hand lane drivers and slow merging.

*drops mic*
