Nasty adds on for cars.. The one you hate most?

Gotta be -

Spinners on a car are worse then fluffy dice. I saw these on an X5 once, the car came to a stop, and the spinners were still moving. I half expected the spinner to spin off the wheel, cut into the tarmac and carve its way along the road, hit the kerb and spin up into the air and then cut some old lady, harmlessly waiting right up the middle.

I think, anyone who buys these cheap tacky items needs to be placed on a database, where the owner of such tac is then reported directly to the DVLA and charged 60% more road tax for being such a berk.

Also, dump valves... Yah, look at me. I've just dumped all my money on useless tac, just to annoy you, and I think it sounds so cool... Mostly for cossie drivers, and their cars are 20 years old.....

Sadly, it ruins it for all the "proper" cossie owners who don't ruin their cars.

Perhaps they do, but they don't half annoy as they drive down the road and then this aweful noise bawls out the engine...

Sorry my horse has just bolted. Some jerk with a noisy car spooked him and now I'm on a wild ride that I cannot get off.

Please come back later, where you can then "educate" me on how to "grow" up. Until then, my opinion is just that.

Ah sorry, you cannot hear the "freedom" of speech I go on about, as someone has just drove past in a "very" noisy car.. How in-considerate.

OK, so the dump value statement was perhaps a little off, so I’ll retract that for the sake of those who have them purely to aid their car, or got them as standard fit. Although, the noise given off does still annoy me. But for the sake of saving myself as coming off as anymore of an arse, I’ll back down on these. Sheesh, sometimes I do put my foot in it.

But I still stand firm with those darn spinners.. they look so cheap and nasty.

So Penske, you win, purely as many of you defended dump valves… what annoys one, appears to be loved by others. Grr..!!! But that noise, the guy down the road with them is really grating me with them.
