saw a sad sight today.....

well it was around 8 am this morning and i was driving to work and i pull up next to this black v6 '97 camaro ....

well of coarse i pay extra attention to it because it is an f body and i notice that it has a big APC banner accross the back, those light up wal mart tweeters (about three on each side) , and every other blue neon light available at walmart (string lights, map lights, light bars, etc) and japanese stickers on the side

and last but not least.... a big a$$ FART TIP out the back!!

WWWHHHYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

i wanted to shed a tear at the sight of it, i thought, poor camaro.

i was thinkin, run for your life car!! find you a new home!!!

i started thinkin of what he could've bought with the ricerfest2003 shopping spree he just had......i thought maybe some blackouts and tinted windows or somethin.....

but then he looks at me and every piece of skin on his face was pierced and his hair was pulled into a greasy ponytail so i thought to myself "figures" and he kinda looks at me and nods and revs his car up and i busted out laughing and left him in smoke.......i let him ease back up to me and was like as if he was thinking all the stickers and bs was gonna give him some more hp.

anyway, that is my story

A few houses down from me, there is a ls1 sunset orange Z. Im sure it was beautiful at one time. The current owner (who Im still hoping to see some day) put these HORRIBLE chrome rims on it that are twice as thin as the stock ones. It looks like a Z with motorcycle tires. I see borla tips sticking out of the back, so hes actually trying to upgrade the thing. If I ever see him, I will teach him about torque VS traction

Those are some funny stories, but it's almost sad when you think about it. I have a V6 - but I'm 18 and it fits me now. Although I will always want an 8...and trust me one day i will...

I don't know what would ever come into someone's mind to put a fart pipe on a Domestic Car. They make a whining sound which just doesn't fit right...I hate that sound now.

VTEC stickers...I think somewhere along the line people saw so many of them that they forgot they are an engine type and just started slapping them on everything. Same as Type R - lots of people think their cars are "racing types" and don't realize that it's an engine type...geeezzz. Some company must be mass producing those things.

And yeah...I'm sorta sick of APC and Super Street Stickers. I was heading down to Atlantic City on Saturday with my girlfriend, her sister, and her sisters boyfriend when we passed a C4 Corvette painted yellow (luckily I wasn't driving or in my car). But anyways, this thing had painted yellow stock rims, an ugly body kit, but even worst it had a HUGE SUPER STREET BANNER! As we passed it I looked in and the interior was all red.

It just didn't go. Again...everyone on all the forums...thank you for saving me at a very early age and from avoiding all the ricey trends on the age. And I'll try to never do tasteless mods like that...

Appearance mods are understandable...and hey we all like them and they look great. But I swear the people who do some of them are just completely DUMB!
