Top ten things to never do in/to your car

What would you class as the worst things that can happen to your car or that you have seen being done to a car

 

I don't eat, drink and smoke inside my car. I don't use air freshener in my car.

 

If someone does have the nerve to smoke in a non-smokers car, then I wonder how the owner will tell them that they don't want someone smoking in their car. It's either they tell it gently and politely or bluntly and in an irritated manner.

 

No one eats, drinks, or smokes in my car. I like to keep my car inside and out extremely clean. I regularly detail my car to keep it that way.

 

I occasionally will smoke in my own car, but never in someone else's. I know how to smoke in my own car and not have it smelling like smoke. Plus, I do it so rarely. I never let anyone else see me smoking in my car, though. I wouldn't want them to get the wrong idea.

You can get little "No Smoking" stickers and place them tastefully on the dash and backs of the seats so everyone knows where you stand on the issue. It avoids embarrassing moments for everyone.

 

One of the stupidest things I have seen was a car being towed with a rope. At first I thought nothing of it (I have done it myself more than once), but when the tow car has to stop for a red light it was apparent that the car it was towing had no breaks...BOOM!! Pretty Stupid!

 

How about those awful "BABY ON BOARD" placards?

 

Driving with a flat trye is awful. If your tyre is flat please just leave the car until you can get a spare. Driving it with a flat will damage the tyre further and also destroy the rim. So instead of helping, you are actually creating more problems for yourself.

 

Stick on air intakes, I just dont see a point in putting something useless on your car. Also hate to see fake badges.

 

You never want to smoke because it'll depreciate the value of your car. I'm just assuming here but a non smoker will be turned off by the smell. Stop reading books while you're driving! Get an audiobook and listen. Stop doing your hair, clipping your nails and eating while driving. No texting should be number one but I've seen more people doing the rest of the stuff I've mentioned.

 

Smoking is a big no-no in my car, and all of my friends know it. I've had to sternly tell multiple of my heavy smoker friends that they aren't allowed to smoke in my car, and if they want to smoke they can drive with someone else. I'm generally cool with eating (and some drinks) since I haven't had as many problems with long lasting effects to the inside of the car...Can't really say the same for smoke.

 

Two words: "Truck Nutz". People who install those heinous accessories ought to have their licenses revoked and vehicles crushed. I'd have recommended they be removed and the vehicle placed in the ownership of someone responsible, but it would simply never recover its dignity, and it's better simply to put it out of its misery than to let the poor machine live with the shame for the rest of its life.

 

Absolutely, positively, no smoking in my rigs, for sure. I also don't care for little ones drinking soda in the vehicle, as it is guaranteed to result in a sticky mess.

Beyond that, I'm not a fan of bumper stickers.

 

I'd have to agree with you on the bumper stickers, Rivethead. If they're done tastefully, it's fine. However, in most cases that I see them, they are plastered over the back of the car or just generally cause opinion wars.

 

Ugh yes, I forgot that I have to make exceptions for kids not having soda in my car. I'm cool with most adults because they can usually handle that kind of stuff, but kids are just downright messy and I know they will spill at some point.

 

I never text and drive. It may seem convenient at the time, but it's not the worth the risk that you put yourself, and others around you in. The only time I ever touch my phone while driving is to answer a call, or to change a song (I can do that without taking my eyes off the road).

 

I don't eat, drink, or smoke in my car. I hate the strong smell of cigarettes in cars. Also I never text and drive because it is very dangerous.
