LOL.

I've seen some crazy stuff, but that van defeats them all for shear Howl's Moving Castle lunacy.

Well that guy's van is ready for the Post-Apocalyptic Mad Max style world.

BTW - With the 3 vents thing, didn't 3 vents indicate that it was the low end model while 4 vents was supposed to be an indicator of the High End Model for the classic cars? I can't remember which car company they are from, but pretty certain it was some American Car Company from around the 60's - 70's time frame.

That is always the first thing that pops into my head as well.

Guy on street. "oh hey, looks like this family is getting into their car. Good head count matches the rear window. Thankfully I have my lucky crowbar with me today. This should be a piece of cake."

I think everyone has a right to modify their vehicle the way they see fit. To each his/her own, but the thing I hate the most are cars that have stickers all over and they don't own the part or the MFG doesn't even make any parts for their car.

I never said I wouldn't think it weird, obviously a pink dorsal fin on your roof would be weird. But, you're free to do what you please with your vehicle. I'm not going to post about it or lose sleep over it. That's all I meant. Maybe re-read my OP so you can comprehend what I meant a little better.

OP- there's a civic hybrid in my town with those hood vents and various other stick-on ricer goods and tribal decals in my town.

I want to get my younger brother a wakaba [green "JDM yo" dangerous driver sticker] as a joke.

Anyone know where I can get one in person?


Also, this thread is hilarious...

Another trend I hate are those awful chrome oversized wheels, just ruins the look of their vehicle. And most especially when they use them on trucks, pretty much removing any real truck-worthiness that their vehicle had.

I think the worst are the people that do absolutely no modifications to their cars.
