I'm curious whats this explosion of putting huge spoilers on cars.......and worse trucks! I mean panting your car lime green is far enough is it not? But to put an airplane win on the back?

What I love is when you see these guys (and no I'm not being sexist, 99% of the time it is guys) and their cars have rear, front and side spoilers, they've got flames running up the wings, lights on the windscreen wipers and underneath the cars and spot lights that blind you and it is the tiniest little matchbox car you've ever seen. You'd think they'd spend the money and get a decent looking car in the first place and not have to tart it up like that. Racers, spot them a mile off!

The thing that upsets me the most, is that because their car's look like that, they think it is ok to drive like madmen, and potentially cause an accident. It makes no sense. I don't care if you have a Viper,Cobra,Porshe, whatever, practice safe driving!!

try living in california man!:surprised: i've lived and visited quite a few different cities and cali def. has some of the worst drivers ever. I get very angry in a car but when i'm on the bike i'm usually the one driving like an ass...i know i know..i just love speed tho, but i am learning to calm down over the past few years i've made some good changes to my driving because i know speed kills and especially on a bike it's much more dangerous.

so glad i live in san fran vs LA....at least when you get flipped it off...it's done with a smile.......and i live in a city of ricers....get a piece of crap civic or some other piece of crap excuse for a car...and dress it up .....still has 100hp but looks like it has 101hp...gone are the days of muscle cars i guess...

actually messed with one guy in a riced car one time....I gave him a look, and rev up my engine at stop....he does the same...and speeds off...what he failed to see was a cop right by us....no need to describe how fast he got stopped by that cop....how i love idiots...lol

Rear spoilers on a front wheel drive car is just stupid.

Cars are often an extension of a person, an expression of who they are - so, if a person wants a racy little zippy thingy to bee-bop around in, all the more power to them, maybe there a racy, zippy kind of person, makes them feel happy in lime green instead of drab gray?? I see mostly the younger generations taking off with this, my son 18 likes his trucks and his Lincoln, but enjoys watching those racy things and likes them.

Personally, I feel like there is nothing like getting behind the wheel of an older Dodge Challenger, a Cuda with a Hemi, a Road Runner, a Mustang, and such. I like the power behind those bad engines and those tough looking bodies, the throaty rumblin' of the mufflers, etc.! I'd take one of those over a Mercede's anyday.

So, I guess we just like what we like and since we American's seem to spend so much time in our vehicles, it only makes sense that we drive what we enjoy most times, whether it be a little 4 cylinder of a beefy 8! To each his/her own, just the way it should be! :)

OH I love the older cars, my personal favorite is the charger, and old monte'- carlos........

I guess it more of a personal taste, and tackyness to me. I love the honda preludes, and civics......I just think theres a line.....between a sweet ride.......and a tacky ride. Painting you car lime green with gold rims......thats fine......I can kinda liek that at a car show..........But take a honda......paint it green, put pink flams on it.... a fake hood scoop, make it sound like a go-cart.....and put a huge wing on the back, that comes over the top of the car......they done crossed the line, and walk around like your Vin diesel in fast and the furious.......I'm sorry but no lol
