More of a conversion than an addon, but still. I want one.
Spoilers don’t bother me much, even the silly three foot tall ones that look more like “convenient carry handles” than spoilers. What gets me are the three-foot-tall spoilers that look like they were built with an Erector set! You know the ones…bare metal, supports that are perforated with screw holes every 1/2 inch, bare bolts holding it on to the trunk lid…do they really think it looks like anything other than a piece of crap?
And then there’s the guy who parks his little blue Celica next to my Rustmobile. Completely sticker-charged with claims to be modified by “Toyota Racing Division”, including a “TRD” sticker on the fender. Yeah, pal, I can see that your car’s a turd, you don’t have to brag…
Some idiot at IUPUI has a Chevy S-10 lowered so there’s about 1" of real, honest-to-God clearance under the body. If I parked my fat ass in the driver’s seat, it would never move because it would be hung up.
I’d like to know how the hell he gets to school avoiding the every half mile railroad crossings, too…
That’s funny Ethilrist I was just thinking yesterday, while driving behind a new Hummer, how pretty soon we’d see people buying semis just to drive, not for any trailer towing capacity. Although I think I’d die if I ever saw an SUV like that.
I never suspected that people believe hanging a CD from the mirror was supposed to deflect radar beams. I always assumed that the drivers were just saying, “Hey, look. I have a CD dangling from my rear-view. That means I’m into music, and therefore I’m cool.”
I have to say the funniest spoilers are the ones on the new Volkswagen Beetles. They look like a little knick-knack shelf or something.
I’m also cringing at the apparent resurgence of the “car bra.” You used to only see them on sports cars but I’m starting to see them on dang near everything. I saw one on a freakin’ PT Cruiser a couple weeks ago and it was somehow designed to look like a bizarre halter top on a cheap hooker. Like you don’t already look trashy enough driving one of those things!
I kinda like the bullet hole decals. (on other people’s cars) The first I saw were on a cracked windshield on a 56 Chev 2 dr. post I bought in 68. The newer versions are much more realistic, but the caliber seems to be a little HUGE! I’d never put any decal or sticker on anything I owned. Even the special stickers sometimes required to go hunting or skiing, I tape them inside the glass.
I saw an ad on TV last night for some candy bar; there was a guy driving what he said was the biggest SUV on the market. It was so big it couldn’t fit into his garage, and he trashed his garage trying to fit it in. When he said, “It’s the biggest SUV on the planet!”, I thought, “Not even close, pal…”
