What Car Do You Love to Hate?

[Tony_SS]

HONDA ELEMENT. aka 'tupperware'. And anything Scion especially the toasters: Lets take a really slow car and make the most non-aerodynamic shape, a box, and I bet some hipster wannabe's will buy it.

Oh yea and the official car of the lesbian: The Subaru Outback or Baja. Look at all that bed space... the ladder almost fits!

1. PEOPLE who have trucks and complain about the gas PRICES.
2. PEOPLE who have SUVs and complain about the gas PRICES.

Alot of people's opinion from where I am from is that their vehicles dont get bad mileage, the gas prices are just to high. My respnse to them is buy something that you like that gets better mileage because the gas prices are not going to drop. They usually say that they shouldn't have to. I just annoys the hell out of me.

Large trucks and SUV's that never get used as trucks or SUV's. If you have a F-150 and have never actually used it to haul anything or pull a trailer you are a poser and it makes no sense for you to own it. These idiots also have the gall to complain about gas prices when they are driving a vehicle 3,000 lbs bigger than they will actually use.

7. Extended cab pick-ups. Come on, if you're gonna do it, step up to a crew cab. I hate short beds also, it's a truck, make it useful. (El Caminos are exempt).

I would have to disagree, to a point and the only reason being if you pull alot of trailers. I dont know (neither care) about other makes but chevy is now offering 3/4ton shortbed wich is awsome for people like me who pull alot of trailers shorter wheel base on the truck is alot easier to back up with and turn for that matter. but yes for the most part I agree except the wheel base is "alot" longer with a 4dr and long bed.

ford, ford, ford at least after they stopped making the fe engines. I had a 390 a "couple days ago" and it was a solid good running pickup. 302,351,400,460 all junk in my opinion.

this is a true story,awile back i worked for a lawn sprinkler company the owner bought a brand new 4dr dually ford with a 460 in it to pull the bigger trencher we had that truck wouldnt hardly get out of its own way with the "in my best baby talk voice- big-ole-trencher" well anyways the funny thing about this is that for the last four years that i had worked there we had been pulling the same trencher with a 1967 1/2ton chevy 4speed with low and behold a 292 I6

a company i worked at had a f-350 wrecker with the big block gas engine. you could tow a car but that was about it 😳 . the 350 diesel 😀 we had i once used to pull a tractor trailer off a rock, and a fuso with 3 yards of wet sand. the wrecker looked like it was on hydraulics with the nose in the air and the tail on the ground! steering was SCARY!

I think everyone forgot about the pontiac aztec. My friend put it best when he said it looks like someone punched it in the face and kicked it in the *ss. I also very much agree I hate people who have trucks and don't use them for trucks. I have probably hauled more in the bed of my 4 cylinder s10 than half the people with trucks and pulled a bigger trailer (albeit very slowly) than 3/4's of them. I also hate people who have suv's and think they can drive fast on ice because they are 4 wheel drive.

Great story about this... about a year ago, it had snowed a bit here. I was driving behind one of those obscenely huge Ford Excursions or whatever it is. There wasn't even much snow on the ground and the streets were clear... except that there was a tiny little chunk of snow that had probably fallen off someone's car sitting in the middle of the road.

The person driving the Excursion slowed down, and then DROVE AROUND the tiny chunk of snow.

People like that make me want to cry.

I have to disagree here. The Aztek is one of those cars that is just so ugly and completely inappropriate that it is cool. A friend of mine has one, and the absolute ridiculousness of the car is what keeps us driving around in it.

Ha Ha!! Really! That cost them 8 gallons in gas doing that move. LOL! Maybe they did not want to get it wet. lol.

And yes the aztek is so ugly i feel bad for it and I would drive one. They are nice inside, the Buick version is even nicer!

actually i just read on the pro-touring forum from a guy who works at GM that they are cancelling the monte carlo name. considering the crap they slapped the monte name on since 88 i have to sadly agree. 😢

It's about time.
