repost:6. Faulty equipment Saving money by putting off repairs is a noble act of cheapskate-dom, but when deferring maintenance means that youre starting to compromise your own safety, or others around you, thats when we get annoyed. Its not uncommon for us to see customers cars at our garage with bald tires, bad shocks, a turn signal or headlight thats burned out, or poor wiper blades. Blowing off those repairs isnt just dangerous — it might also cost you more money in the end. Look at it this way: Which bill would you rather pay? Four new tires or having to replace 50 of the botanical gardens prized Asian thorn bushes and doubled insurance premiums for the next five years? We rest our case. While its less immediately dangerous, driving a car thats burning oil to beat the band is also obnoxious. Ask my brother how many otherwise sweet old ladies give him the finger when he pulls up next to them at a light and surrounds them in a thick cloud of smelly, blue smoke. Dont Be a Jerk: Maintenance is not just for you. Youll improve your own safety and that of your fellow drivers by keeping up on necessary repairs.cars/go/advice/Story.jsp?section=top&subject=more&story=top10annoying&referer=&year=
