I know that full-size american cars, customized or not, have lately become pretty popular among the younger set. Ok, I can take that. I usually enjoy seeing what kids are into nowadays. Some of these card look alright. I even like most of the well done rice boy and street racer stuff. But allow me to try and describe what I saw a few days ago;
It was a pretty new Impala (ugly car for starters), White (ugly color and popular???), it sported 20’s or 22’s, those chrome things that look like a flattened flower (ugly, for sure), and then he just had to go and add those chromy-sparkly-clear lens tailights which I think originated on Lexi (ugly, even then). I suspect a huge wing is next. Go ahead, fool, it can’t possibly get any uglier. Oh, yeah, it was jacked up (lifted, raised, whatever) all around.
Hey, if I’ve offended anyone, don’t drive such butt-ugly cars.
I’ll put winkie 
here, so’s no one will come and shoot me. Flames, though, are welcome.
Peace

You obviously meant this to be in The Pit. I’ll move it for you.
Cajun Man
for the SDMB
Is he paying for it, or are you?
I think children have a requirement to go through a stupid phase. He’ll learn. Meantime, take lots of pictures so you can remind him later of his indiscretion.
Does he have any of those fake bulletholes on the back bumper? I HATE those things. Really, what is the purpose in trying to get people to think you’ve been shot at? 
I suspect that mangeorge is not paying for it, because it’s not HIS son. Just “son” as in “Son, you got a panty on your head.” 
Woo Hoo.
Anyway, ivylass, I surely didn’t mean to imply that he couldn’t have the damn thing. Only that he should wear a disguise when driving it. Personally, I’ll gladly help him slap the shit outta anyone who tries to take it away from him. As long as he comes by it legitimately, anyway. I would like to see him or one of his ken come to his defense, though.
Any pseudo-gangstas out there?
This is cool 
. Is it ok to be nice in the Pit?
Just today, I saw a Cadillac Escalade painted lime green with the 22 inch wheels. The Horror! The Horror!
Yep.
My neighbor has one with spinners, fer cryin’ out loud.
Ever been a truly tricked-out (pimped) Escalade? It’s something to behold. 
A certain charm, I must admit.
But an Impala? Those are for soccer moms (and pops) who can’t afford a minivan.
By the way, I’m 59 and drive an Audi.
Fire away, son.
Yeh, I do it a lot, you weiner. But it’s not much fucking fun. 
Ok, ETF, get your ass back in your tan Buick and get the hell outta here.
Lexi is the plural of Lexus? :rolleyes:
There are some Og-damned ugly cars on this site…
Stick it where the sun don’t shine, Buster – I drive a navy-blue '97 Saturn wagon with a bale of hay in the cargo area. Deal with it, tuckfard.
Of course it is. You disagree? :dubious:
Lexae sounds cooler!
I asked for the plural of Lexus on the SDMB a long time ago, but severe searching didn’t find the thread. IIRC, there is no plural for Lexus. You can only talk about one at a time.
Is it Mongooses or Mongeese?
mangeorge and I both have an unalienable right to bitch about other’s choices in style and cars. Deal with it.
Speaking of which, ivylass, I’m not exactly impressed with your decision to wear the polka dot blouse with the striped pants, and you better watch it if you don’t want a fashion-pitting of your own.
The fake bullet holes continue to be humorous and fresh. The same is true for the minivan/SUV/passenger car silhouettes placed on quarter panels.
Notification will be made when these are no longer funny or cool. These stickers should be removed at that time.
Sorry, with a -us ending, -ae (first declension) is right out. It might be second declension, making the -i plural ending valid. However, I strongly suspect that Lexus is actually fourth declension, making the plural Lexûs, (pronounced LEX oooos).
(One can also make the argument that Lexus is, indeed, second declension, based on the number of proper nouns that fall into the second declension, but, if it is a second declension proper noun, mangeorge is correct that there is no plural form.)
û should actually be ū (u with a macron overscore, rather than a circumflex), but in this Latin-hating world, few fonts will recognize the macron.
