You know what really grinds my gears @#$%&
When I'm driving with a passenger and as I get ready to shift into reverse or 5 or 6 gear, their legs are the way

Well I was going to guess 'not using your clutch' but you already answered.

solution, program your radio welcome message to say NO FAT CHICKS and the problem should go away.

I hate that too!

I understand that's the car for a smaller car, but the Civic front legroom is more than awesome. Even at 6' tall, I can comfortable stretch my leg to the firewall.

I have yet to have a girl do it though, in fact, I probably won't mind a girl doing it.

I really only have that problem with my best friend, but he is a good size guy. I am suprised I dont have that problem with the GF because I swear she pulls the seat so far forward and kinda sits with her legs up on the seat.

1.) When people touch the inside of my windshield/windows and leave finger marks. Or if a girl thinks it is cute to write me a message on my inner windshield. IF I HAD NO MOTIVE WITH YOU, YOU'D BE OUT THE DOOR LADY!

2.) When someone leaves a fountain drink anywhere in my car. You know, those paper cup versions that eventually let the liquid inside it seep through into a FREAKING PUDDLE. HAVE SOME RESPECT A$$HOLE, NEXT TIME THE CONTENTS LEFT IN MY CAR GOES INSIDE YOUR GAS TANK!

this really bothers me as well... my window has to be SPOTLESS and when someone writes shit on the inside i have to clean the whole damn thing. the outside is not as bad, but that's easier to clean
