i have one of these " kitted up, loud cars".. that doesn't mean i act like a complete mong when driving it !!..

There are some complete 'planks' out there that seem to have just passed their driving test and insist on accelerating from 0-60 as fast as they can regardless of where they are.

thats my point... after spending all the money on doing up your car why would you rally it around like an idiot? but tbh i havent passed my driving test yet but already buying things for the car i want... erm good idea? lol

erm not quite that but if we have 1 in the garage we find that others pull a face and our manager doesnt like us working on modified cars either because "their idiots we could do without"

But you asked why we hate them so much, so you assumed we do.

I hate em, most (not all) are tossers I find, just my opinion, so you assumed correct here.

I don't have a problem with anyone having a hobby, and if that hobby happens to be 'doing up their car' that's fine by me.

However, I do have a problem with the minority of those people who use their car to annoy and intimidate others ....

Eg. those who feel the need to make as much noise as they can with their big bore exhaust, those who blatently screech their tyres and ignore the rules of the road, those who gather in the supermarket car park not far from us and fly about the carpark, spinning wheels and generally being arseholes before leaving and dumping their McDonalds debris out of the car.

I'm sure, depsite popular belief, those who are mentioned are the exception and not the rule

Sit outside the cafe on the Kingsway next to the Leisure Centre on a weekend and your question will be answered,several times every hour!

You'll see the Muppets,usually 4 or 5 up in a little hatchback puddlejumper,with straight through exhaust as big as the car and 2 inches of ground clearance.

Windows down,stereo BOOM,BOOM,BOOM blaring,caps on and hoods up (guess the roof must leak).

Going like the clappers round the island,on their way to Mac n Don's,just missing the disused bus shelter,even though we've all got our fingers crossed!!

Couldn't say,you can usualy only see their capped/hooded heads above the door.

Mind you,there's a few quad riders down there that are just as bad.

Big boys toys sort of thing!

To me a car is a functional thing designed to get me from A to B whilst transporting those things I deem essential for the trip. If I wanted one to race around in I'd buy a racing car and do it properly without running the risk of either losing my licence or killing anyone.

I often give a wry smile (as I move out of the way of a teenybopper in a jazzed up Metro) and think, "Yup, you go and kill yourself but just don't do it until I've got to where I'm going." (cos I hate sitting in traffic jams caused by wankers who can't drive)

I get classed as a boy racer just because I'm a young male with a hot hatch.

I prefer car enthusiast if anyone wants to label me, but any racing gets taken to the track or 1/4 mile.

Nob jockeys..

They meet on a weekend on the industrial estate where I work. Mostly spotty late teenagers, early 20's. Chavvy looking cars with big exhausts, body kits and subwoofers.

They rev the fuck out of their cars, wheel spin and race down the road on both sides with absolutely no regard for any people travelling on the correct side of the road, on their way to work.

Scumbags who don't deserve a license (if they even have one or have passed a driving test)

I hate the idiots in the modified cars, that seem to think it is acceptable to drive 6 inches from the rear bumper of my car, to drive at speeds in excess of the speed limit on roads near shops, schools.

I dislike idiots revving their engines up at silly hours day and night showing off to their friends, idiots using public roundabouts as their personal drift arenas, especially when they think it is funny to intimidate you when you are using the same roundabout.

Most of the guys I know with modified cars sadly fall into the boy racer group, that think the rules don't apply to them.

Being a "crash test dummy" is their best choice.

Strap them into a car and drive them at 100 miles an hour into a concrete wall. End of.

I think they watch too much fast and furious and Tokyo drift,

It’s nice to have pretty cars but doesn’t mean they have to drive them like twats (not all do though!)

Those silly boy racers who's cars exaust is loud/noisy and who play crappy loud music

Drive around in souped up Ford Fiestas/VW golfs etc and drive like looneys, weaving from one lane to another.

Usually there's a load of them at a McDonald's not far from me, they park in the car park there blaring there stupid music

mostly misunderstood and like any minority people take the worst case. Until recently I have always had heavily modified cars and attended cruises and events and even for many years organised evebts.

The hatred and opposition faced when organising such events was ridiculous. Even though there were strict rules for those attending.

It's the stupid and inconsiderate driving, not the pimped cars that are the problem. That said, driving standards in general are getting pretty bad..

Got to agree with you there. Everyone on the road drives like a nobhead these days. Even down to the ones who crawl along then put there foot down as you overtake.
