what additions to cars make you really cringe?
my main one is Morse's Jag..........the vinyl roof really hits me in the face
another one is non manufacturer wheeltrims on steel wheels......don't know why, that's a real no-no
|
My main one is the addition of blue LEDs on the washer jets. Why?!?!?!
You don't see them any more, but another pet hate of mine were those beaded "massaging" seat covers. I think it was Jasper Carrott who once posed a very valid question as to why on Earth anyone would choose to drive around with an abacus up their backside?? :-)

While in the car tax queue on Saturday I heard one side of a telephone conversation from the chav behind me. Went along the lines of 'Micky's Corsa blew up last night...welll he tore the exhaust off, yeah that new back box. Yeah he's gutted - he only had the suspension lowered yesterday!'

So the 'Child on board' stickers will ensure the rescue services pay particular attention to your vehicle! i have read it all now! Could just as well keep them at your vehicle on a wild goose chase, if your kids are not in the vehicle, and thus delay some other persons chance of rescue. Sense is as sense does. Anyway back to the point-although a thriving industry exists in accessories and a lot of fun is had by enthusiasts fitting them; i have always wondered why a vehicle with 60kg of extra kit fitted is supposed to go faster then the standard vehicle. Concrete.

So you take the stickers out when the sprogs aren't on board then? No I thought not.
Also most people put them right in the sight line of the rear window & some of them are around a foot square, very sensible....

>> "Baby on Board" swingy things If it adds to the chances that my kids get looked for and found in the aftermath of a major wreck I'll live with being cringeworthy.
A valid argument only if the thing is taken out when the kids are not in the car - otherwise the ambulancemen are going to be looking for a baby that's not there.
Something like 50% of cars with these stickers clearly have no baby on board....
Personally I'm not fond of spoilers (pointless and look silly), alloy wheels (easily damaged, make the car look like a chavmobile), or any of the daft exhaust/body kit/blue light things that people bolt on their cars.
And I'm pretty suspicious of anyone who has a personalised number plate, too...
But then I'm a miserable old git.
|
I am with you pyruse EXCEPT for alloy wheels, I have a huge weakness for them!
One thing I notice as I get older, other than ever-increasing irritability, is that cars like Ferraris and Lambos have completely lost their appeal. I don't know, maybe it's the people that drive them, but I find them ever more pointless and considerably richer-than-yow.
I do like subtler expensive cars: Quattroportes and the like, and normal 911s (what's the stupid one with the writing on the side: WHY?!!) but a yellow Gallardo just doesn't do it for me. Seem to be aimed at rappers and WAGS, two things I loathe with a passion I wish I could conjur up for something positive! : )

The fake screw on (or rivet on) air vents that people put on the front wings of E36 and E46 BMWs. It's presumably supposed to make an unfortunately targeted 316i look like an M3. At least to its owner.
The other thing that makes me cringe is those bonnet modifications used to make the headlights look like they're frowning, by basically covering the top portion with a triangle of metal. Each to their own I suppose.

Lexus style rear lights on any car that isn't a Lexus (usually Corsas, Saxos and Clios). Exhausts the size of paint tin lids. Those metallicky-rivety looking tax disc holders. Those metallicky-rivety looking petrol filler flaps. The blue lights that glow underneath the car. HUGE spoilers.
And finally, destroying the looks of what was once a nice looking car to try and make it look cool when instead they look crap!

what additions to cars make you really cringe? my main one is Morse's Jag..........the vinyl roof really hits me in the face
At the time it was manufactured (approx 1960), vinyl roofs were very popular. 248 RPA probably came from the factory with a vinyl roof ~ unless you know different.

The black vinyl roof on 248 RPA wasn't original - it was glued on (badly) by one of it's four owners before it was rescued from a scarpyard.

Is my monkey air freshener acceptable? : )
My pet hate is stupid exhausts, and "dump valves". Why would you want your car to be noisier, esepcially if you have some 4 cylinder bean can? Wuffle wuffle..... perchuff. Neither of those noises (the first being a "sports" exhaust and the second a "dump valve") make me think "Wow you're a crazy individualist". They make me think "What a prat".
And whilst I am on the subject, why can't drivers of modified shoeboxes just sit at a junction and wait for a gap without revving their engines continously? Is it because their engines are so highly tuned that they can't afford to let them sit at idle? Yep, that must be it.

Yep. I especially wince when I see one on a Jaguar, since presumably Jaguar stopped fitting the cat ornament so as to avoid eviscerating pedestrians. How dim do you have to be to (a) not realize that and (b) go to the trouble of finding one and sticking it on?
|
'Shopping list' stickers down the side of the car. Meant to indicate all the modifications the owner has made to the car. That's bad enough but for the most part the companies advertised never even made parts for the vehicle they are stuck on.
Regarding the 'baby on board' stickers I was just 'skype-ing' a friend of mine who works for the fire service while typing this reply and he says that in his area at least they pay no attention whatsoever to them. So just an embarrassing affectation then, add them to the cringe list.

"Rubber static strips trailing from rear of car (to prevent sickness apparently)
"
SWMBO and me both suffer from electro-static shocks (must stop wearing the nylon knickers), and I won't hear a word against these. THEY WORK.
Many years ago, I got fed up with knocking the (more expensive) back silencer of the Vitesse on various lumps when reversing, and discovered the (cheaper) centre section fitted near-perfectly when reversed, with a few inches hacksawed off its length. The straight-6 yowl it subsequently made was luvverley. Was this an add-on?
|
The fourth wheel is an unnescessary bit of bling that could be done without. Cars run quite happily with just one on the front, it is cheaper on tyres and located in the middle it evens up the wear on the road surface.

tinyurl.com/23kd24f
I was fortunate to drive (a moss sort of green) one frequently back in those days.
My WHITE 1600E had a superb black vinyl roof. I suspect it was an Everflex.
The sections were stitched together and the centre section also had some sound deading underneath which made the interior very quiet.
IMO and many others it was beauty.

I always thought baby on board stickers were meant to make people think twice about tailgaiting/driving too close. In this regard I would say they do work, if you are a bit close to the person in front you would increase your stopping distance to the car in front if you saw such a sticker. (Obviously everyone should be keeping the correct distance from the car in front at all times regardless of these stickers.)

If I was the sort of idiot that tailgaited then a sticker wouldn't make me think twice about it. To be honest seeing a sticker like that would probably give me the incentive to tailgait even more as I could be sure that the person in front will be easily bullied out of the way to protect their 'precious' cargo.

All the way from Aus. A very extensive site and photos on all Jaguars.
www.xjc.com.au/story.htm
In the UK market, air and manual transmission were optional, as were the choice of leather or cloth seats. All coupes were equipped with a black vinyl roof as standard equipment, except for the one which was specially produced for Jaguars Andrew Whyte.The actual reason for the standard vinyl roof was not clear, but contrary to urban legend it was not because there was a welded seam in the roof ! Most likely it was because the marketing folks insisted on it, as vinyl roofs were the flavour of the month in the automotive industry at that time. Whatever the case, many present-day owners have chosen to remove this feature. This could be due to the fact that the original Jaguar vinyl is no longer available off the roll. It is still available as spare part No: BD 42835, and I did in fact see one on my last trip to England in June 2000. With the vinyl...without the vinyl, either way they still look sleek, slinky and sexy!

I have to confess that SWMBO had been using my car for a few days a couple of weeks ago and she left a "Bee Gees" CD in door pocket. This CD (if everything went well) is in a landfill site a dozen miles away. I have yet to tell her. I was parked next to a street bin when my hand rested on it when looking for my mobile phone....the rest as they say is history. That made me cringe.
|
I got in the Mondeo once after SWMBO had used it, and turned on the stereo to have my ears assaulted by Rick Astley!!
The CD is probably still on the central reservation of the M3 somewhere....
She nearly topped it with the Backstreet Boys a few weeks later.

A mate of mine once took his BMW into the dealer for a service, just before a long trip.
He'd emptied it of all tapes etc, and forgot to return them to the car when he picked it up.
He ended up driving 500kms with just one tape - Matt Bianco - which he strenuously denied was even his - he blamed the garage man!

Funny how not that long ago people were saying that about the 70s - especially when comparing them unfavourably with the 60s. And yet now there's 70s music everywhere - Slade, Queen, ELO (hurrah!) - and the Beatles and the Beach Boys hardly get a mention. I wonder if the same will happen with Spandau Ballet and Frankie Goes to Hollywood in another ten years; I very much hope not!
