Yesterday I saw one of those pickup trucks with dual exhausts that go up behind the cab, like the exhausts on tractor-trailers. It was belching out quite a bit of black smoke, too. I don’t know about trucks, so there may be a good reason for that, but it just seemed silly.
Also – fart pipes.
They’re photocopying the road! (Shamelessly stolen from comedian Wilson Dixon)
You guys in the US have seen nothing yet. The Highly customised Suzuki Carryor Daihatsu Hijetis the king of Dumbass modifications.
Often it is for looks, but it can be functional too. If it’s a work truck, farm truck, or off road truck it can get a bit more clearance and also briefly drive through a few feet of water without stalling out from flooding the exhaust – especially if it is a diesel owing to the lack of spark plugs. Mostly it’s for looks though.
What?!?
Sorry, should have included a link. Here: Fart pipes.
That actually sounds kind of cool. No idea how well it’ll wear, but at least its not the same damn flames you see everywhere.
How about “custom” car horns that play things like La Cucaracha?
(Regarding the Hijet) Is there no such thing as speed bumps there and/or are all the roads perfectly flat?
It’s already been mentioned but I hate the fake fender vents. Especially when people attach them to the sides of their POS '98 Corolla.
We were driving around in my husband’s week-old 2012 Mustang yesterday (that ain’t even sneak-bragging - it’s flat-out bragging! 
) when we were driving near a riced-up car with fart pipes on it. I didn’t realize that the sound was coming from the other car, and asked my husband if his car was making that noise. I think I personally offended him. 
My husband had a 97 Nissan Maxima. We sold the Maxima to a kid who wanted to turn it into a ricer. The kid was all excited and told my husband about all the cool mods he was going to do to the car.
Anyway, we have seen this kid and my husband’s former car around a couple of times. The kid put a huge spoiler like this on the car as well as some awesome graphics and ground effects. The whole thing looks funny to me.
Spinner Wheels … Every time I see them, I have a nearly uncontrollable urge to shoot the driver of the car. Even worse, I’ve seen them of freakin’ golf carts /sob.
This.
My favorite car to hate is one I sometimes encounter on my commute. A black Hummer H2 with huge spinner rims, super low profile tires, and a giant pair of chrome truck-nuts
I think they should be illegal. It makes a car look like it’s moving, even when it’s not.
And what gets me is they don’t understand what the portholes signify (I think they are an imitation of the exhaust pipes on old fighter plane engines), so most people seem to put 6 portholes on even if the vehicle is a 4-cylinder or 8-cylinder.
I’m going to tell one of them that one day.
Is there any ryhme or reason to the theme cars? Mostly Crown Vics and Impalas with the 22"rims and low profile tires and painted like breakfast cereal. Like fruit loops or cheerios. Or some do candy bar brands. I just really don’t get it. I like Reese’s PB Cups, but I’m not going to spend 10s of thousands of dollars to make my car look like the wrapper of one.
Anyone got insight on that?
Everything boils down to women. They do it to get women. The sort of women that like candy and flashy cars.
I saw another Spy Hunter wheeled car today. WTF? Is this a trend in other places? How soon until the first property damage claim due to one of these fucktarded spikes?
That’s the greatest thing I have ever seen in my entire life.
It go, woo wooo!

How about pickup trucks jacked up so high you could drive a old-school VW Beetle under them?
