Is bosozoku Japanese for “clown-style”?

I actually think some boszoku look really cool, if obnoxious, but I’ve never seen any cars like that before… I dig their weird retro nationalistic jumpsuit/headband thing though.

What did those poor cars do to deserve that?

The funny thing is that they’ve probably got more exhaust tips than the engines have cylinders.
