This is the one that gets me. It shouldn't matter whether its 'just a Corsa', its your pride and joy and you should be proud of how nice you've made it look/how fast you've made it go or w/e.

Just coz it doesn't have a BMW or Audi badge on it, doesn't mean you can't be proud to own it.

"Not again!"
"There will be no paint left on that thing"
"It's only a car, Why bother?"
"What you doing that for?"
"You spend more time on that car than you do with me"
"You spend more time working on that, Than driving it!"

Just some of them whilst I was cleaning the car last week.

"You could have got X car with the amount you've spent on that old corsa"

"Where are you back seats and why have you got a roll cage in a corsa?"

Also when you have an exhaust that's slightly louder than standard people automatically assume you're spanking it and start moaning at you to slow down.

When they try to explain to you what the man at the garage has explained to them is wrong with their cars. It's been told to them is laymans terms, then they manage to fuck it up anyway because they can't even understand that. "Cars need oil in them, WHAT?"
