Apparently the answer is not Miata...

The Ten Most Annoying Car Owners

3.) Mazda Miata Owners

Typical Conversation: "Girls' car?! Hell no! It's the modern reinterpretation of the classic open-top sports car. But with Japanese reliability. And it's rear wheel drive. And it's great on the Autocross course! I know, it's small, but once I get those stiffer springs on there, it'll handle even better. It just feels like an extension of my body, you know? And it's not a chick car. Don't ever say that again."

Depends who drives it and how . It does need some man things bolted to it to slap the cuteness down a bit .

That just keeps my opinion of Jalopnik down to the already low levels it's been at for years.

I read that list -- I've had a Corvette, a Miata, a BMW . . .

I always knew I was annoying.

That's not the appropriate answer to a person who thinks a Miata is a chick car. The appropriate answer is:

"If by chick car you mean, beautiful 25-year-old girls run up to you while you're driving it and fight over who gets to ride next to you, then yes, it's a chick car. Oh, what do you drive? A Honda Civic? Too bad."

Ok that's only happened to me once, but whatever haha.

The only annoying people that drive any of those cars are the ones that refuse to think that any other car can be as good/cool.

It's only a chick car to people who have never driven one in anger.

As a Porsche driver, I have to admit that I was surprised to not be included on the list.

How about a "Most annoying people who THINK they're car people" list.

1. V-tec, YO!

2. People who think the Miata is a chick car.

FYP

substitute Fiat for MG and I have three of the ten... BMW, Saab, and Fiat.. Guess I need to get a lifted pickup next

Currently have a SAAB and two BMW's... Next car will be a miata, after that probably a Corvette, and I have lusted over Excursions and will someday probably end up with a LBC, and could easily see myself in a WRX/STi. Cool!!!

mtn is going to be a top ten annoying carowner all by himself.. all he needs is a prius

I like this comment from there......

"I'm pretty sure the most annoying MGB owner are the ones that swear they're reliable."

I'm thinking bout selling my Miata and moving to the world of VTEC, YO! (S2000). Am I gonna get kicked out of here? :D

well at least my subie is only 9th most annoying. Though I'd rank Priuses up near the top.

missing:

JEEP owners (YJ/Wranglers in particular). "If you can read this, turn me back over" or "its a jeep thing, you wouldn't understand"...99% of which are jacked up, on BFG MT's, and have 20 floods, and never go off the road. Mall crawlers. Disclaimer: I am a former Jeep owner. Jeep people are nice as hell, but the "culture" is annoying.

Audi owners (many of my friends). No matter what car you drive, it doesn't have quattro, so it sucks.

VW New Beetle/Mini: it is required to have a personalized license plate that integrates "BUG" or "MINI" into what it says.

Dodge Challenger/Charger - particularly SRT8. It's a requirement to drag race ever car from a stoplight, whether its a WRX, minivan, or dump truck. I've heard "Dude, this isn't just a regular R/T, its an SRT8" more than once.

Scion tC - this should replace civic Si on the list. Because the civic was the teen ricer car of the '00s, but the tC is the teen ricer car of the '10s...

I think that list was designed to offend about 90% of their reader base.

NO!! Never will I pay for a prius. If its a company car, then so be it, but I won't like it. And I don't ever see myself in a VW. Audi maybe, but not VW.

mtn, but really, would you really want to work somewhere that gives you a Prius as a company car?

in my experience, the miata is a car for 43-60 year old men. and some similarly aged women.

The only sticker I'll stick on a Miata.

I figured I would have at least two on that list.

3rd gen Camaro and Fox chassis mustang. Wierd that my VW made the list. But hey its old enough to not ever see the engine light on.

Everyone knows Miatas aren't made for the straights.

I used to own a SAAB and currently own a Subaru. Am I only 20% annoying?
