Doing dumb **** just to be "different" is retarded. The car can't even get over a 1" curb without damaging itself. I can't even fathom how that car got to that location without ripping the entire body kit off. This is no better than that guy who tried to get holding your quick disconnect steering wheel out of your window popular.
What about subi drivers who have illegal downpipes that cause drivers behind them to gag? Or the subi drivers who drive super aggressively and cut people off and rev unnecessarily? Or those large tow hooks that stick out the front or rear of the car? I just ignore them. Just like I see a slammed integra laugh then keep driving.

Modding cars is a hobby. I might not like how someone else does their car, but I just shake my head and go my own way. I definitely won't respect a car that was paid for by mom and dad. Other than that just think if everyone had the same tastes, no one would be unique.

Having a person behind you smell something unpleasant isnt a danger to those around them. If that were true people would be crashing all the time where I live because of lettuce fields rotting or being filled with manure. Revving does nothing to other drivers. Tow hooks do nothing to other drivers. Driving Aggressively CAN be dangerous but doesn't always have to be.
Having a piece of your car that could potentially fly off into the vehicle behind you if you encounter a decent pothole is totally unnecessarily dangerous.

If people want this look, which I find unpleasant, they should at least do it properly and get airbags.

It's more than unpleasant it's **** a cat would keep trapped inside it. You don't think that's unhealthy? As far as revving, that includes burnouts, launches, and just plain stupid driving on local streets. Tow hooks at parking lots (not only on imports) can be really hard to see when backing up (not that I've ever hit one), but they're just as unnecessary. Sure none of these are as dangerous as a bumper flying off, but what I'm trying to get at is every car group will hate on another. There are going to be different norms. Bashing on them is just... hypocritical. No one really looks inward when they see a problem.

People need to start modding their cars how they want to (safety in mind), not what is trendy, then take it like a man when someone says they don't like it, and go on with their lives because people's opinions shouldn't matter if you like something a certain way.

honestly I take that back because you can still drive a car with neons/LEDs and it doesnt affect it in any way from functioning as a vehicle. And Baliztik Im def not trying to be a "hater" because its not my style, but when you stance your car so terribly it tears the bumpers off it goes WAY past having anything to do with style. That ****s just stupid

I must be missing something... Why go to soo much trouble to paint and mod bumpers etc and make them soo impractical that as soon as you drive it , it gets hung up and damaged and falls apart and looks tacky and cheap...Would be soo much nicer if it was built to be driven..Total waist of time..I just don't get it..

What about them? Read what I said. Doing dumb **** to be "different" is retarded.

I'm not sure how running catless, driving like a dick, or revving has anything to do with being different. (In fact, I'd say driving like a dick is common) However, I do agree it would fall under the retarded category. Although, I'm curious why you generalize to Subies because so many other car "enthusiasts" do the same thing, if not more frequently in some regards.

Modifying your car to be a hazard on the road is not a hobby. It's just plain stupid. Just like going catless or revving like an idiot is not a hobby and is plain stupid. I do not see your point, nor how you're trying to connect your different ideas.

I will not respect a car that is putting other peoples' lives in danger and I never will. People can try to make themselves feel better by saying "h4t3rz g0nna h4te" or whatever stupid **** people say. However, the fact remains that a person would endanger other peoples' lives just so they can look different. I have no clue how anyone in their right mind can advocate for that.

Your car does that just going down the road, peoples lives are in danger around you. You could go out of control, you could go into a skid, your car could explode in a fireball.

For suck sake dude, your way, way, way off base on this one...let it go.

Logic escapes you quite often, and I know there's no point to try with you. As you have proven in the past, continue on with your cherry picking of statements and your ridiculous comments as you will.
