Stupid car stuff you see

[BigTyla]

This is a thread to post pictures of stupid stuff you see people do to their cars. We have a thread like this on my local car forum and it's turned into a rather hilarious topic so I thought I'd start one here as well.

This gem was posted three days ago. Someone found this at a local parking lot in Huntsville:

those are pretty tame, doc.

[DocWalt]

Look at the taillights on the last one.

IPD, I know, I can't find my riced out turds collection on my PC. I keep seeing a pair of bright green Civics around, one has a painted bodykit, the other has an unpainted bodykit lol

[futurevr4man]

heh, one of them is flipped.

there are 2 guys in lex with red protege's. both have black wheels with red lips. both have fart cans. and the guys are related to eachother. they get made fun of more than anyone, but they think they are really cool...

[BigTyla]

How does that van not get pulled over every day for the Christmas lights and lack of rear visibility?

[DocWalt]

Rear visibility means nothing to cops (or anyone at all if you look at the silly bathtub styling of new cars). It may as well just be a panel van or box truck in their eyes.

Oh, and that SSR I posted has probably $90k into it. Porsche suspension and BBK, and lots of other strange stuff. Shipped to Germany to have Porsche mold 911 GT3 bumpers onto it... I'll try to find the pic I took of its show placard when I get home.

All personal experience cell pics from me; including a hood spoiler on a 3k, two spoilers stacked on an acura, and a center exit exhaust on an idk what. The pipe was stock sized and was just all around laughable. On the acura the bolts holding the second spoiler to the first were WAY too long and sticking out awkwardly.

are you underestimating the stupidity of people?

are you underestimating the stupidity of people?

considering how many people still frequent 3sdie....no,i guess i can't.

[BigTyla]

There's this red 1g 3000gt with a rear end body kit and Supra style tail lights parked in the area for deployed soldiers here on post. I shake my head every time I pass it. Wish I could get a good pic of it.

As embarrassed as I am to admit it, that my dad's car. He built it to transport his electric racecars. It still gets 45+ mpg which beats a pick up truck when you are driving across the country.
Only other picture I have on my phone, I'll work on more if people are actually this interested. Sometimes my father makes me drive this... - Imgur (http://imgur.com/gallery/qnSAZ/new)
similar project he's done. This one is an electric car. A highly modified geo as well. It's called The Dolphin. Electric Dolphin - Imgur (http://imgur.com/a/vL3i2) (hopefully fixed?)

Wtf^3

[BigTyla]

That's actually quite ingenious!

[DocWalt]

You guys have never seen the coat hanger trick before?

[BigTyla]

I've seen it on a TV. :)

[DocWalt]

I guess I'm just used to the "Appalachian Americans" that are around here

[CoreyB]

Done the coat hanger antenna many times.

[AdamVR4]

That's actually quite ingenious!

Ha, wow. Is it a coat hanger or is it a half-wave diamond quad loop antenna?!

[BigTyla]

^Exactly. Personally I would have gone with a dipole. :p

[sketch]

My mom once told me that she used an empty Schlitz can as her car antenna back in the 60's for a while until she was pulled over for it.

Also, there's a study out there re: comparing monster cables to coat hangers that's pretty good:
Do Coat Hangers Sound As Good Monster Cables? (http://consumerist.com/2008/03/03/do-coat-hangers-sound-as-good-monster-cables/)
Audiophiles can't tell the difference between Monster Cable and coat hangers (http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/audiophiles-cant-tell-the-difference-between-monster-cable-and/)

[IPD]

yes, i love pulling up that study for people who swear they are worth the money. if you want high quality, blue-jeans cable has it in spades at reasonable prices. so much so that monster sued them.

[DocWalt]

I find it hilarious that people fret over the connection quality of their digital cables...

[sketch]

really gotta make sure those ones aren't confused with zeroes.
