Blingin rims. Seriously, I've seen cars where the wheels on the car are probably worth 10x the car itself.

EDIT: Spinners are even worse.

"Fart" pipes are the worst. I've never understood why people put those things on their cars.

Also...

The last name of the vehicles owner decaled on the back window... usually in some strange font that you can barely read.

A lot of caddys and other cars do a vinyl top but they have ridges that give the appearance of a convertible without being one.

Mexified vehicle. You know what I'm sayin'.

HERNANDEZ in gigantic letters over the windshield.

Wheels that stick out too far.

Black window tinting on the winshield by factory, silver tiniting on the door windows.

Fart pipes over the exhaust.

Spinning rims.

Air ride and hydraulic suspension. Not stabilitrac or leveling systems, air ride enterprises stuff.

Horns that do anything other than beeping.

Stereos that rattle trunk lids and license plates.

Chameleon paint.

Shaved door handles.

Colored or shiny cheap stuff to go in engine compartment. Such things include fake chrome valve covers, colored spark plug wires, fake K&N cold air intake manifolds, NOS stickers...


UGH!!! Freakin' STICKERS!!! Your car is not any faster because it has a little Edelbrock emblem on the window! :mad:

I would spek you twice for this if I could. And I especially hate when it's in "loving" memory of someone you're reasonably sure the driver never actually knew, like... oh, I don't know... a dead NASCAR driver, for example.

Supercharger (ESS's TS2 system @ 8 psi), Koala limited slip differential, Swarbarbarians, Racing Dynamics strut tower braces, slotted and dimpled brake rotors with "red stuff" pads and aircraft-grade brake lines, TSE3 exhaust, AudioControl equalizer, Alpine amplifier, Dyne Audio component speakers, BBS LM replica wheels, AC Schnitzer style roof spoiler (ordered), Vorsteiner hood (ordered).

I put about 1600 business miles on my car last month; I'll put about 1800 on it this month.

there are "world-class nit pickers" on here.

don't refer to "wheels" as "rims". rims are the circular part of the wheel, where the tires are mounted.

I pretty much agree with everyting posted. Except I'll sell you the nicest wheels in the world for your '78 Regal if that's what you want to buy.


I can't stand "If you can't Dodge it, Ram it" stickers. I saw one today. I want to just drive over them and leave the steaming pile of metal in the middle of the road.


I don't like the semi vulgar unpostable diesel brag stickers either.

That reminds me. Back when the shop was in Purcell this dude came in and wanted 15x12 wheels with 295/50/15 tires. Basically short and very wide. Thing is, he had an early 90s black regular cab stepside 4x4 Chevy pickup. On those models, the 4x4 hub was out several inches farther than the two wheel drive. So, the same wheel on a 4x4 would stick out a bunch more than a 2wd. A 12" wheel sticks out about 3" on a 2wd. So, these wheels stuck out about 5-6". Not to mention they were tiny short tires and weren't even all terrain. It was the most hideous thing we've ever done.


But, he loved it and paid so, eh...don't bother me.

The old "AINT SKEERED" decals made me laugh because they were so stupid. Once I was riding shotgun in a buddies truck and we pulled up next to a mullet headed fellow with a Aint Skeered decal on the back window of his truck. I yelled Woooo real loud and the dudes head about just about hit he head liner in his truck. I told him see you are skeered. Kinda rude I know but it was funnier than Hell.
