Cheesiest. Car. Mod. Ever.

We all know that bright yellow “R-Type” stickers and great big flying wing spoilers add at least 25% horsepower to any car. But here is a way to really let them hear it. :smack:

BWAHAHAHA!

I didn’t really believe that it could be, you know, what it is. I had to read it twice.

That’s the worst one yet.

I wonder if I can get something like this for my mountain bike?

I mean, it’s got to work better than the playing cards I’ve got clipped to my front fork, right?

I think that is possibly more lame than bullet-hole decals.

Is this a fake website?

Only $159*. It must be good. The aftermarket for the fast and furious crowd knows that the drivers have more money than brains.

*not including the speakers and amplifier. You know, the things that actually make the sound.

Good lord. :smack:

I can see it being funny, but I cringe at the morons who would buy these (and you know they’re out there) in order to impress people.

Does it have a “Tie Fighter” setting? That would be totally cherry.

You know, I was all set to ridicule this item and then Larry Mudd goes and makes it actually seem kinda cool. Think of the possibilities, you could hack it since it can’t be more than a fancy thumb drive. You could make steam engine sounds, the aforementioned Tie Fighter, trains, tugboat, motorcycle, or even better, does any one know what that sub sounded like? You know the one that went to the Marianas Trench, once, in 1960 for 20 minutes? I’m sure Dopers could actually make this a geeks dream mod. Or maybe not.

C’mon! You know you want one for the MG! It’ll be a total chick magnet! :cool:

Well, I’m fond of cheesy mods, myself – I have a flame decal on my car, for crying out loud. Among other things.

I kind of like the idea of fixing it so my PT Cruiser sounds like a Harley… Not enough to spend $150 on it, though!

Negative! :mad:

Classic MGs have a beautiful exhaust note!

At least, as far as I can remember. I wonder when it will be done?

This will go nicely with the thing I designed in electronics school: the sampled car horn that yells “GET OUT OF THE ROAD YOU IDIOT”. :slight_smile:

Give it downloadable counds and dynamics and it’ll be great!

ROFL! I love it. That’s so horrible.

Gads, that reminded me of a guy I went to college with. This guy was one strange dude. He wore his grandma’s old chopped-off nightgowns as regular shirts, and he called everybody “Eddie”. He had a beaten-up old Chevette that he wanted to mod somehow, so one day he went to a hardware store and got a bunch of that fake wood panelling, and glued it to the sides of his car so it looked like a midget station wagon. It was pretty awful.

I drove a truck for years and spent a lot of time on the road and have seen more cheesy crap than I care to.

There’s one that stands out. An older grey haired fellow was driving a ten year old chevette or some little econo-box. It looked wonderfully maintained washed and waxed. It had a Cadillac hood ornament and Coupe de Ville badges on the fenders and the hatch back.

I remember the custom van craze of the '70s.

Blue and green shag carpeting on the floor, walls and celing, fake rams horns on the outside. (looked more like Bantha horns) all with some cheesy airbursh painting on the outside that should have been on black velvet instead of the side of a van.
(shudder)

Is it a joke site? The promo video “Shut Down” has the ending tag of “the poseur’s edge” (of course they’ve misspelled “poseur” as “poser”.
