This doesn't really belong in any tech forum just a pet peeve. Just about every DSM pic I see, for sale, showing off, car show, whatever. Why, why, why do people install aftermarket radiator hoses right out of the package and put a big kink in it. Trim the damn hose.
 
Ok you started this... my pet peeve is a timing belt with no cover on it. A disaster waiting to happen should a foreign object (like a critter, dirt, wire, etc) gets in there.

I don't run a *top* cover on mine. Would not fit anyway. The hoses are usually sold as "cut to fit" so most people don't really know this. You should cut the bare minimum to avoid a kink though as it allows you to trim it further in the future especially where the worm clamps dig into it. My biggest pet peeve on cars is bubble tint....or a missing hub cap.....Really irks the living shit out of meLOL. If you are not going to replace the one, or get a new set, take the other 3 off! :idontknow: ROFL ROFL ROFL

Mines is when any Eclipse, but especially a GSX is painted FF puke 🤮 green, as a replica. If only the producers chose something less cringe 😬, maybe all the movie fan boys would be modeling their car after a decent example.

It’s like the peacock 🦚 ………of the Eclipses.
 
Since I started this...."staged" upgrades. I can't stand it. The moment anybody mentions they have a stage anything on their car I walk away.
drives me nuts, and tells you nothing unless you have the same exact platform as them. But at the same time, they probably cant tell you the specifics of what they have since it was a "stage" kit upgrade

My brain 🧠 checks out once I hear “stage 9000”

Extreme lowered cars with “stance”, i.e. so much negative camber the tires are riding on the inside edge of the tire. How fu$@ing dumb is that!? Like in what way does it make sense? Maybe I’m just daft, if so please educate me.

To me it makes zero sense, your literally destroying your tires. I never thought it was cool but maybe I'm to old??

Not to mention the way it jumps up and down over the tiniest of road variations compressing their spine over and over. Must be real comfortable!

I call them "short timers" because it's only going to be a short amount of time before the first light rain is going to put them in the guard rail. I have a strange habit of looking at the yaw marks on the highway since I drive a lot. They look like an old Schwinn 10 speed took out 60' of guard rail. If they roll over the marks are fatter at the end. Darwinism at it's best.😅

So, like, if you're an extreme drifter, and hit NOS while sliding down a Japanese mountain road while chasing a 65 Mustang, you can go up on 2 wheels and have perfect traction.
