Re: Everybody has rules for their car..what are yours?

Need to revise a couple of mine due to changes:

4. I don't have ANY air conditioning parts. Don't complain there's no air conditioning. That's what the large side windows and the T-tops are for. And no, I don't give a rip if your hair is going to get messed up (I might even like it better that way). I've fixed the temp controls, but you're still not getting 40* air out of those vents, 'kay?

9. Scratch this one. Rear seats are getting deleted and replaced with a sound box (deleting sail panel covers and speakers as well).

11. Don't touch my iPod, either... And don't touch my second key. It's there for a reason.

19. No slamming of ANY door, period. Going to fix the lower DS door hinge so that won't be necessary any more.

21. No carrying of longer items is allowed unless you're providing the gas, bungee, padding for the interior paneling, and a pretty darn good reason why MY car has to be the one with which you bring home your 4x8 sheets of drywall, plywood, or 10ft lengths of pipe (unless I have a plumbing emergency at home and need the car to fix the drain pipes, had that happen shortly before I took the car off the road last June).

Re: Everybody has rules for their car..what are yours?

Second key is in the console for VATS (don't have the pellet key and needed a second "key" with proper resistance on the VATS circuit)... Don't tell anyone, now. I added the VATS since I never could quite get the bypass module working right and I was running the late model ECM requiring a VATS signal. Which I'm not anymore (running a MegaSquirt when all is said and done). Now, I'm keeping it for starter and fuel injection disable, since I've been broken into before and I'd rather not come out some morning to my car missing if they DO somehow manage to bypass my car alarm system (alarm disables the VATS ignition power so you still ain't going anywhere, fool!). Of course, with my 2-way paging system, I'll have an aluminum bat to the back of their head(s) before they can bypass anything .

I'm going with the sound box to do something different with the rear paneling (fiberglassing in the sail panel indents and covering them with vinyl) and so hopefully I have a decent amount of weight over the rear wheels and won't need so many sand bags in the winter (yes, I do drive my car during the winter, when she's running).

Re: Everybody has rules for their car..what are yours?

A lot of the upper rules apply to my car, most pressing are.
1. No smoking in car, unless your my mother.
2. Don't kick the door open and ding the 40,000 dollar car next to me, I now have to go find a new parking spot.
3. Don't complain about the kicking bass, I freaking love it more then I love you wearing out my seat with your fat a$$.
4. Don't complain about the odd noises like the moaning from my rear axle and the pulleys from the front, its almost 25 years old with 220,000 miles on it, yes most cars can beat it atm, shut up about it.
5. See how the windows are already loose? Don't use them to close the door!
6. Yes that's a Magnaflow you hear, no I don't wanna rip it out for straight pipes.
7. Don't try to rev battle me in your piece of $hit honda, I'll win.
8. No dirty shoes.
9. We live in the desert, there's going to be dust no matter what I do.
10. Only sealed drinks. No eating.
11. Don't you dare touch my radio, and if you battle me over switching the channels I will pull this car over, turn it off and wait for you to use the exit to your right.
12. Just because it doesn't have new paint doesn't mean you can use it as a butt rest when we chat it up outside.
13. No I do not need rims, I have rims. American racing rims and they sure as hell look good on this car, I just polished them too.
14. Don't pull at loose parts in my car! They will be fixed at some point in time. ((Mainly when my ceiling was hangin, I replaced that a month ago finally.))
15. I have a cup holder that slides between the center console and seat, don't move it to the back because it uncomfortable. I use it and will move it when and where I please.
16. Only I drive my car, unless your a hot chick, take your shirt off, and sit in my lap when we drive.
17. Don't complain the heat coming from under the dash, the engine is a beast and runs hot. I rather enjoy the heat.

((There's others that are common sense, like being dirty and pets, etc. But everyone has that covered.))

Re: Everybody has rules for their car..what are yours?

A few things that **** me off but no one really follows unless I remind them a million times:

-Hold the door as you open it, don't just fling it open and let it stop by itself.
-Don't close the door by the glass, it leaves smudges all over and is annoying.
-Don't just throw your **** into my car and scratch up the dash.
-****biggest one***** Everyone gets in my car and rips up the dash cover so the velcro comes unstuck. It gets so old and I always have to tell people to stop.

Re: Everybody has rules for their car..what are yours?

He or she who brings bud in my ride, must share with the driver. No opening my windows to smoke during a rain storm. That's what the ash tray is for. No more leaving fourloko cans all over my back seat. Last but not least, dont mess with the settings on my CB, police scanner, and stereo. I know my rules are a bit different, but i ususally do a once a week clean out. My ride is the party mobile. I have a nice 92 Camaro for a reason, so my DD beater 91 RS can take the punishment. So far, 32,417 miles in 4 months.

Re: Everybody has rules for their car..what are yours?

Hmm... In my Firebird I only have the driver seat though occasionally the passenger... You can smoke it in it, (I don't) doesn't have a radio to change, and no one drives my car, even if they knew how to drive five speed. No touching the car.

The Broncos? If you are privileged enough to ride in it then hands to yourself and no touching my radio or eating in it.

Re: Everybody has rules for their car..what are yours?

To go along with what others have posted I'll add mine to the list...

1.) NO SMOKING!
2.) No mud on your shoes, no dirty clothes although I do have a camaro seat towel that I carry in the back just in case.
3.) No chewing gum, my ex wife tossed gum out the window in my 01 SS and it stuck to the rear quarter.. pissed me off, and I'm even more **** about the IROC.
4.) No drinks, meaning kids and anyone in the back seat. Adults up front I'm ok with.
5.) No leaning on my car, the hood is not a seat nor is the rear bumper.
6.) No leaving trash in the car, take your crap with you.
7.) The only other person I let drive my car is my dad or Grandfather and thats because they take care of it while I'm across the pond.
8.) No pets, don't want fur or crap on my upholstery.
9.) And my car is not driven down gravel roads or off the pavement unless I park in the grass at home. It's not a truck, don't want dirt, mud and everything else on the paint or underneath the car. And yes I even detail the suspension and underbody when I wash it... lol... I love my car that much.
10.) No finger prints on the glass or paint, hate when people grab the t-tops by the glass. I keep glass wipes and spray detailer in the storage compartment in the back.


And thats about it...

0) Put on your seatbelt.
1) No smoking in, on, near, or around the car at any time unless you ask first and I say you can. You have to share if I let you smoke in my car. Chewing tobacco is also not allowed in the car.
2) No food or drinks. Sealed beverage containers are OK, so long as they are clean.
3) There are two people allowed to drive my car. 1 is me, the other is not you.
4) No feet on the dash.
5) Do not roll windows up or down. Only I get to do that. Do not mess with the power mirrors.
6) No leaning against my car.
7) No sitting on my car.
8) No pets in my car.
9) No cargo that will scrape up my plastics/rip interior
10) No muddy/dirty/wet shoes/clothing in the car
11) Don't touch any of the controls aside from letting yourself out when we get where we are going and operating the seat belt.
12) No children.
13) Do not lean on the door as leverage to get your fat *** out of the car. I can help you.
14) Do NOT slam the doors when entering or exiting the vehicle. Do not fling the door open so it bounces on the hinges and comes back.
15) No crappy drum solos to music on any surface within the vehicle at any time.
16) Don't leave your crap in my car. This includes receipts, bags, anything that you thought I wouldn’t mind throwing away for you when I decide to get out.
17) Always return sun-visors to their upright position when exiting the vehicle.
18) Do not leave the seat belt twisted. Straighten the damn thing out when you take it off.
19) Do not just let go of the seat belt and allow it to slam into random parts of the interior when you get out.
20) Never, under any circumstances mess with the T-Top release lever.
21) Do not draw on, touch, or smear my windows.
22) Do not leave bodily fluids inside my vehicle. This includes your snot, vomit, spit, or "other" fluids.
23) No yelling out of the car, unless it is a hot chick. No exceptions.
24) You do not invite your friends to ride in my car with you, or instead of you at any point, for any reason.
25) You may not volunteer me to give rides to anyone.
26) I like to park far away from other human beings and their cars. You are not allowed to bitch about the walking distance when I do this.
27) Passengers are not allowed to bitch about my driving.
28) Passengers may not bring anything illegal into the vehicle at any point, for any reason.
29) No fat chicks.
30) I will not modify any vehicle rule at any time for any reason, so do not ask me to. You are wasting your time trying.
31) No rule applies to me unless I wish it to. (Which 95% of the time I follow these rules without exception.)
32) Do not touch the radio, change my station, or cd, unless you ask first or I tell you you can.
33. No singing, humming, or whistling. Unless I say you can.
34) Do not bitch about who sat in the passenger seat last. It wasn’t me, I don’t give a ****.
35) YOU are the cup holder.
36) Do not bitch about the radio being too loud.
37) No saying other cars will beat mine.
38) make sure the buckle is not in the door when you close it.
39) I know that my check engine light is on. Thanks.
40) Only I am allowed to open and close the hatch, because you don't know how to close it.
41) Do not bitch about the A/C. There is none, I will not tell you this.
42) Do not grab the dash to "brace yourself" for impact because i'm going fast... You're going to die anyway if we crash at that speed and holding the dash won't save you, it'll just distract me from my driving and probably cause an accident.
43) Don't try to open the doors and attempt to tear the handle off the car when the door is locked... Especially if im TRYING to unlock it but can't because you are acting like a retard trying to pull theh handle 5 times per second!
44) Do not touch/pull on the shifter/emergency brake.
45) I still don’t know what will happen if you chalk my car.
46) These tires are extremely expensive so no I will not drift around this corner and no I will not be spinning the tires here
47) Don’t complain about how low the car is.
48) I know the headliner is soft and indents when you push it doesn't mean you get to leave your hand print in my damn headliner!!!
49) No long phone conversations. I am driving my car, the radio is down for you to say, can I call you back?
50) If you mention and believe in global warming, i drop it two gears and continue until I see fit.
51) Do NOT diss camaros, corvettes, or batman.
52) i dont care how much you ask, i will not take the drive thru.
53) No complaining or asking me to race.
54) Start **** with people outside and your gonna walk home and get your assed kicked by whoever you talked **** to.
55) Don’t bitch about being in the back seat.
56) If you wanted to put on make-up...you should've done it at home, NOT in the car.
57) Sit back and shut up while im racing, UNLESS you see cops.(I will allow one false alarm, unless it costs me that current race)

Be polite to my car..... you call my car junk 1 ****ing time, and your never gonna sit in it ever again you son of a bitch.


And a story about eating in my car. we stopped at taco bell to go to the weekly car show. after we got our delicious food, some guy, who was driving a car that he did not own, his license was suspended, and he was currently living at a half way house hit my trans am. My dad, eating his taco bell, lifted himself up out of the t-tops and threw his burrito, hitting the guy in the face. he pulled over at the next light, me and my dad and cousin jumped out of the car, ready to beat the guys ***. not major damage, the car needed paint and body work anyway, but still. I called the cops, told them what happened. They got a hold of the guy who hit my car. The cop called me back and let me know what was going on, and he asked "What was the other guy saying about a burrito?" So it was a funny story and the guy did get driving after suspension, hit and run and probation out of it. but now every time i drive i have ammo = 6" long pieces of 3/4" thick rebar.



That is hilarious! I agree though... ha ha

Re: Everybody has rules for their car..what are yours?

Well, no real rules once seated, g-forces usually limit any activity. But there are a few forms to sign first in triplicate: One copy goes to you, second I keep, and the last goes to a beneficiary, pending notefication of next -of-kin. Must sign Damage/injury liability waiver, and a NDA ( non-disclosure aggreement) for any witnessing of any and all "Mods" (D.O.T compliant or not), any use of company "procured" parts, materials or hardware. Filling out the Pre-paid Bail-Bond request is only optional, but highly recommended.

Re: Everybody has rules for their car..what are yours?

1-Driver's seat does not get moved.

2-No knees in Driver's back

3-No smoking unless the windows are down AND the tops are off

4-No animals-I'm allergic to them

5-You mess it, you clean it

6-Eating is ok as long as you follow the above rule

7-Drinks are ok as long as they have a screw-on lid. none of those cheasy plastic press-on lids from fast-food places

8-Nothing illegal

9-No saying "I like that Mustang" as we pass a used-car lot

10-The A/C was removed long ago and should never have been installed in a car with T-tops

11-No children but my own, who learned long ago not to repeat things Daddy says while driving

12-Careful opening the doors, they are longer than you are used to

13-Seatbelt usage is mandatory for all passengers

14-Only I may handle the t-tops

15-No country "MUSIC" - i dont need to hear about how some *******'s dog died when his wife left and how his truck won't start or how some chick had her heart broken by some piece of white trash abusive boyfriend/husband who was cheating on her with her best friend

16-Whether the T-tops stay on or come off is entirely up to me. If you think you are going to be cold if/when I take them off, bring a jacket

17-The center console lid armrest is for my arm only

18-No bitching about my driving-if I'm driving too fast or cornering too hard, GM has kindly provided you a large handle to hold on to. Please use it.

19-Continued bitching about my driving will result in greater speed, harder cornering, and/or racing the r***r beside me at the next light

20-My car is not a taxi or a limo. Don't offer rides in my car to other people, not even for gas money

21-Only I am allowed to enter or exit the vehicle Dukes of Hazzard style.

22-No writing on the windows.

23-No writing "Wash Me" on the car when I first get it out of winter storage.

24-No trying to get other drivers to race me

25-No hood slides, those plastic louvers are too d**n expensive to replace when your fat *** rips one off

26-No puking. If you have even the slightest possible feeling that you might, under the right circumstances feel like you are going to puke, do not get in my car.


Rules specific to the front passenger only:

1-Due to the lack of cupholders, you shall be known as "Drink B***h" and will hold onto any drink(s) that may be brought into the car. Subject to #7 above.(This was before I installed cupholders)

2-Controls the radio, subject to my approval of the song

3-You are responsible for watching for speed traps/cops so i can concentrate on my driving. Getting pulled over for any reason results in being banished to the back seat until your eye doctor can confirm your vision is 20/20. Spotting the cop when he is already behind me with his lights on does NOT count.

Re: Everybody has rules for their car..what are yours?

1. NO SMOKING...this is NOT negotiable.

2. My radio = my music. Do not tough the tunes or change the channel. If you don't like the volume or tunes...you may leave as I slow down.

3. No eating. PERIOD.

4. Drinks are OK. You spill, you die.

5. No passengers in the back seat.

6. The exhaust is loud...deal with it.

7. Open the car door C-A-R-E-F-U-L-L-Y.

8. My wife can drive my car..she knows the rules.

9. No carwash. Wash by hand only.

10. I smoke the occasional cuban cigar in my car...no you can't...yes it's unfair...it's my damn car.

11. The dog rides in the front..feel free to argue with the dog...if he barks, back up. If he growls with teeth, run. If he catches you...you're going to lose 5 pounds from your a$$.

You sir need aftermarket speakers, lol. Mine could def drown someone trying to talk out...and my comp speakers are the final word when my idiot neighbors get into a shouting match in the hallway, I just blast some metal out nice and loud and I guess they either give up trying to shout over it or something, or realize they're being idiots and stop, cause by the time a song is done they stop. Point being, if you can't drown someone out its cause you need to go aftermarket stereo/speakers :P

Re: Everybody has rules for their car..what are yours?

It is so funny that many of us have the same rule's! Ok i recently sold my Honda. So I have more passengers in my car. I like that many of us worry about how family and friends close and open our doors. The radio is mine and i choose the music! I am also the only one resting my arm on the arm rest And no ever touching my windows, there is nothing worse then prints or any dirt on all glass on my car. My neighbors think I am crazy I'm sure. As much as I clean it, I should have already rubbed the paint off..hahaha

Think that about covers it...
I gotta say that "higgy diggy I'm a niggy" made me laugh my *** off, My rules are no slamming the doors, only good music ie: metal, rock, some heavy metal, no rap crap, some house music if the beat is good. No hip hop **** swap in my car, no food unless you eat it over the wrapper and as soon as your done with it, it goes out, no spitting out the window (i hate that) smoking is fine as long as the window is open and YOU dump the ashtray afterwards, drinks are fine with lids, no open containers, feet stay on the floor no exceptions.

Re: Everybody has rules for their car..what are yours?

This is a good thread.

All my cars have the no slamming doors rules-I hate that.

Don't use door glass to shut door
Don't put your hands on paint to shut door
Only myself or my daughter can take off put on or stow t-tops
drinks are ok
pets are ok(only mine-they know the rules)
No food-No exeptions
don't complain about speed-cornering or anything really
you don't have to be in car
Yes i have a/c but would rather have tops off
there is no need to touch anything I don.t know why some people do that
I think thats all I can think of

Re: Everybody has rules for their car..what are yours?

Rule #1 Don't jack with my stereo! My wife thinks she can just grab my remote and change my stuff. HELL NO! DON'T TOUCH MY RADIO!

Rule #2 If you can't handle the wind in your hair... DON'T GET IN MY CONVERTIBLE!

Rule #3 My car is not a chair or a bar rail... DON'T LEAN OR SIT ON MY RIDE!

Rule #4 If you think you have to have a table with you at all times you must be slow in the head. DON'T PUT YOUR DRINKS AND YOUR CRAP ON MY CAR!

Rule #5 This is not a freakin' minivan. NO I WILL NOT DRIVE THE KIDS AND THEIR FRIENDS ALL OVER HELL AND HALF OF CREATION! THAT'S WHAT THE CREW CAB IS FOR!

That's my little bitch session.

8) no rap r&b or heavy metal in my car oldies, classical and country are permitted
9) I know that my car has minor problem don't keep reminding me or you will walk

12) buckle your seat belt I didn't replace it to not get used

Re: Everybody has rules for their car..what are yours?

I hate when people get into my car and roll up and down the window every 5 seconds its like can you just leave it at one spot i understand your cold then your hot but seriously find a position where you can leave it and stop being ridiculous, i also hate it when im listening to a song and im really into it and somebody says oh enough of this song and changes it, im the drive i choose the music don't touch my damn stereo i wouldn't touch it in your car so have the respect not to touch mine, I have no problem with driving people either aslong as if its a long trip they pitch in for the gas and no asking to stop at mcdonalds for a burger or fries no ood in my car period red is hard enough to get stains out of it.

I agree to a point, smoking is fine with me but all windows MUST be down, and the fan must be on and the vents must be open, Windows will be down when nice outside I absolutely hate when people fool around with my windows and stereo ugh thats such a **** off.

1.) Do as you please so long as it doesn't bother me. 9 times out of 10 if you ask I'll say yes to whatever it is.

2.) No drinking. Don't care who you are, no alcohol allowed.

3.) DD if I'm too sloshed to drive.

4.) DDT if were both/all to sloshed to drive.

5.) Car mods are at my discretion and are my choice alone.

Re: Everybody has rules for their car..what are yours?

You all have a lot of rules for your car and passengers.
Mine are few and very simple:
I'm the only one who drives or works on my car. No one else is good enough .
As for smoking and drinks food ect. Only by the driver.
radio , temp setting , windows open, t- tops off or on. that is the driver to decide
No drugs, alcohol allowed in or near my car.
And last but not least. NO PASSENGERS EVER. I don't care who you are. how amazing you look, or even if you're going to do me, it won't ever happen. Well maybe if you're gagged and have a straight jacket on, then strapped in with the 5 point harness and a full faced helmet.

I love it dude! I love driving my car alone also. Never any alcohol in my car. I know people thank we are freaking crazy. I realize its only a car, but I take great pride in keeping it nice. Almost afraid to get it painted, might send me over the edge..

Re: Everybody has rules for their car..what are yours?

I'm a grown man, all my friends are grown. No need for rules. My son cleans up more than I do. The wife does not go near the car. Life is goo

But just in case I need a rule.....put rap on the radio and you'll most likely never get in the car again - but no friend of mine would do that - so no rule. Don't need to make this a car rule because it goes without saying - no liberals allowed.

Just thought of a rule, passenger navigates.
