Spinning wheels, or any chrome wheels for that matter.

Stupid little 4 cyl things tarted up to look like it goes fast (ie, wings, cannons, kits, stickers)

LEDs

Massive wings.

GT/Typhoon wings, or kits on XTs or XRs. Saw a GT wing on an NA XR6 the other day. Grrrrrr.

Cars lowered beyond any common sense.

Tyres too small on wheels.

"Hyundai Racing" stickers on the top of windscreen or back window.

Milo tins.

Poxy stickers like "Magic Happens", or "I hugged my teddy today" or my pet hate "Baby on board". Why do people get these and what do they achieve?

Altezzas - HATE those on anything. Saw them on a GT once. UGH.

Thats about it.

At work we were called to move some louts from out the front of McDonalds. Showed up and it was a Toyota Hilux with a tonne of bog on it to smooth out the appearence and painted in some vomit green colour.

The **** was a centimetre from the ground, the tray was covered in carpet and bozo the driver and his 16 y/o mates were all sitting in the tray drinking stars and stripes. He was also pumping out some bad tunes and the chromies were reflecting in my eyes.

Thye're right out the front of McDonalds and they're yelling at the girls and causing trouble. So where's the engineering certificate? He had it all there in his glove box. Pity we couldn't defect it, but he was parked in a disabled parking space. He made some silly excuse about a car being parked in his spot.

I whip out the parking infringement book and find the correct offence, write in all the details of the car and its driver and then I write in the penalty; $375. OUCH!

I felt a bit slack for a second, then I looked at his car. No it was deserved. Give him the ticket, watch his jaw drop and he went back to his mates told them to shutup and drove his piece of garbage away.

With the crappy sound of the ticking air pump for the air suspension.

HA!

The most annoying would have to be the yellow diagonal signs on the back windows saying "Baby on Board".

Especially in the majority of cases when they drive faster than the speed limits and generally don't drive very carefully at all.

Why do they have to display that they have a baby? Do they want everyone to think how clever they are?

Heck, thats a bit harsh, next time your evening is marred by drunken louts picking on you and your missus at a fast food eatery, I'll apologise whole heartedly and explain I'm after real criminals and anti-social behaviour just has to sort its self out.

I saw a rip off sign saying "Baby on board...and it's driving"

Found it rather amusing.

I know it was abit harsh, I shouldn't take my problems with coppers out on you. Maybe if there were a few more of you into cars things would be better.

Really, if you had to change the badge on a Rodeo, you'd fit an Isuzu one, because that's what they really are.

Thats about it.
The theory behind the "baby on board" signs is that people think that by having these they will help reduce tailgating and road rage, or so my wife tells me, she needs one. It's never stopped me though.

Is an Altezza a type of wheel? I thought it was a Jap spec Mazda?

It's like on the Simpsons "now people will stop intentionally ramming our car"

Altezzas are the poxy clear taillights. The name Altezza come's from the Lexus IS200 (called Altezza in other countries) due to the fact they left the factory with the clear taillights
