Here's a couple things I hate:

Leased Scat Packs. I work at a Dodge dealer. I see the damn things every day, yours ain't special.
Old farts that blow me off because I'm 21 and clearly don't know anything. Never forget asking a guy if his COPO Camaro was legit and getting a snarky "Sure." Alright pal, sorry you got called out on your clone by a (at the time) 14 year old.

People who are too concerned with how somebody else did their car. I'd gladly put a spoiler on a '67 Camaro or Firebird because I like how it looks and don't care if it's 'wrong.' I've got yellow plug wires on our '68 because I like 'em. Didn't do it for anyone else. (Note: This was kinda based off a few things in this thread- but I don't mean for anyone to take it personally. It's just my viewpoint)

Also sick of how every car these days is a super rare one of one. Especially when what supposedly makes it rare is something silly like a certain date code, or a lighting option, or heater, etc. Any option that didn't improve performance isn't really special to me.

The whole 'investment/market' mindset grinds my gears too. I'm into these cars because they look good, they sound good, they feel good to be in, and because I like seeing them, and how they were done at a certain point in time- whether it be a 90s Pro Street time capsule or a picture perfect Day 2 car.

I wouldn't care it these things were only worth $500 because that's not why I'm interested in them. Never was, never will be.

Ain't no fun in viewing your car as an 'investment'. Get out there and beat on it!
