My favorite are the ones with these:



Those are totally the funniest thing I have ever seen because they are to identify new drivers who are considered unskilled and dangerous LMAO! Not sure what people thought they meant, but um...yeah.

*edit - how funny is that, I just looked at the other thread and the first post was the same thing. LMAO!

^ It's reverse psychology. Don't try and street rayce anyone with those stickers, they're probably initial D racers.

pretty much, a stranger can run up to one kid, say he's a friend of mom or dad and say another kids name and that they got hurt and he's there to take them to the hospital or where ever.

God I hate seeing those ****ing stickers. It's meant to be an indicator of the driver being very new to driving. When I go back to the states I'm going to attempt starting a new fad with the sticker below. It indicates an elderly/experienced driver.



One of the big dumb ones I hate are stretched tires. How the hell is it cool to stretch the crap out of some tires to show the rim's lip where it should fully be seated? Just buy the correct tire size that will fit!!!!

Really - so if I had a 5 foot tall fuzzy dorsal fin on my roof you would not think that was a little weird but instead respect me for my own unique desires?

Kids are rocking the ochiba (old drivers') mark too nowadays, though not as common as the dreaded wakaba.

For me, I think the whole Herra Frush thing is just silly. It's not necessarily an indictment of the owners (some of them are nice enough people), but it's just one trend that I find to be pointless and ridiculous. I get the same feeling about the whole Herra Frush thing as I do with filthy hipsters.

I also think that anything that's called "JDM" that's not the popular or at least de rigeur in Japan is just plain stupid as well.

I dunno man there's alot of people that do that of their ethnicity. For example I'm half chamorro so I have a flag on my rear view mirror

Oh ya another trend I hate (99% only a japanese trend) is that the kei cars here owned by young women for the most part have eleventy billion stuffed animals on the dash board. For those who have been to japan know what I'm talking about!

That isnt so much a "trend" as it is correct and direct placement of directional horns.

Yea it just gives the serial killer a head count on how many there are to kill. He can go out to the van and scrape off each decal that has been finished.

Yeah, kinda like the guy around here who has 10,000 buttons glued to his car? I guess he doesn't have to worry about door dings, but what the hell is he going to do if he gets into an accident? LOL.
