RE: Pet Peeves
thanks savage.basher for clearing that up. I wonder how long that 4.7L lasted? My stepdad has one, I swear my moms mini van is way faster than that. It is an '06 2wd, 4.7L, extended cab, short bed, and very slow.

RE: Pet Peeves
I know in your post you just asked for one, but here are a couple of pet peeves of mine:
Adults who forgot their 8th grade grammar lessons, who don't seem to know the difference between there, their, and they're. Or who use the word impact as a catch-all for affect or effect. If that eco-weenie says Drew's diesel exhaust has an impact on the environment, I would like to see the impact of a fist hitting him in the teeth!
My other peeve is people who sit on their (not there!) fat asses and wait for the government to take care of them. Ifthere(not their!) is a stormbig enough that they assign a name to it (likeKatrina), and itis headed your way, don't wait for the government to show up at your door with a limousine. Get the hell out! If you don't have a car, then start walking! I remember a few days after Katrina hit, a reporter interviewed aNew Orleans resident. He was a Vietnam vet, probably about 60 years old. The guy only had about six teeth, so he clearly wasn'tvery prosperous. When the governor ordered the area evacuated, this guy packed a rucksack and walked out of the city. He walked over 20 miles before somebody in a car gave him a ride. That old snaggle toothdude was maybe the smartest guy in New Orleans!

you preach the truth ^^^^^^ I hate people who cannot use correct grammar. I am one of those a$$holes who gets caught correcting it though. I can't help it. Hearing people speak horribly incorrect is like nails on a chalkboard for me, it almost physically hurts.

RE: Pet Peeves
I have several pet peeves, but the #1 pet peeve or thing that annoy's me the most is
YUPPIES !!!!
I effing HATE em !! They think they're all self important, and are the most dissrestpectful ( another pet peeve ) people on the planet. I wouldn't throw a drowning yuppie a ziploc bag filled with air to keep keep him / her afloat.
Next up ( usually Yuppies ) people who hang out in the left lane doing anything less the 10 mph over the speed limit.
RUDENESS !! ( again, yuppies )
People who talk on their phone while in the checkout lane ( yuppies )
I think you see the trend here. I'll take a wanna be gangbanger any day of the week over a yuppie. I absolutely positively HATE em !!! [:@]

1. I can not stand when people do not know how to properly aim thier headlights, and the beam goes directly into your eyes when driving at night.
2. Southern boys who do not understand that snow is like sand paper on paint and they scrape if off of vehicles to make snowballs. (experienced while in the military)note. if your are from the south and understand this then you are exempt.

RE: Pet Peeves
With everyone having diesels here I'm surprised this hasn't come up yet..
I hate it when gasoline cars block the goddamn diesel pumps and after they finish pumping they leave their cars there to either go pay and/or wash their windshields. It especially pisses me off when people block the diesel pumps and refuse to go to any of the otherten empty gaspumpsbecause the green pumps arethe closest.
