Don't worry, as the rear window says, it's under construction. I think at their next wellfare check they might put on a hood scoop or something.

I got more from today, driving to class I saw all these guys, they were still there on the way back.

The first picture and the 4th picture are of a Ford Contour with nothing but an intake and exhaust. The liscence plate holder said Twin Turbo. If u enlarge the first picture, u can see that they spray painted the car, as the paint is uneven.

Picture #2 A group of guys cleaning their "beautiful" cars.

Pic. #3 I like how well the tip fills the new rear bumper

Pic #5: I didn't take the time to look at this neon, it could be a SRT-4 or just a plain neon. I wanted to get out of there before ppl began associating me with these horrendous cars.

Pic#6: is of all the cars at the Motel 6

Last pic is of a SUBARU with the only set of those rims in gold in the country. Cool guy, told him to check out i-club.

My view on ricer cars is changing...

There was a time when I would join in with the rest of you and sneer at these junk cars, but I think my opinion is shifting. A few nights ago I ended up at a stoplight and in the opposite lane facing me was a Geo Metro, faded light blue. He had a red roof scoop (off-center by an inch), an odd red front spoiler, something done to his headlights, a red-painted grille, fake GC8-like hood vents and shiny plastic "chrome" covers on his 12" wheels.

My first instinct was to burst out laughing, but I had a thought -- he's clearly not trying to fool anyone into thinking he has a fast car; that's a 3-cylinder 1.3liter Geo Metro. He's just some bloke who got stuck with a crappy car and no money, for whatever reason, and has decided to make the best of it and at least customize the car so it is unique and personalized. I don't agree with his taste, but you could see that a lot of effort and time went into his "mods." Instead of pointing and laughing, I rolled down the window and gave him "the horns" as he rolled through the intersection after the light changed. What right do I have to sneer at him when he's clearly put as much time into his car as I have to mine? He's not lining it up at Firebird Raceway on Import Night; he's just trying to amuse himself (and others) by dressing up his junk car a bit.

Even if it is utterly hideous, someone still spent a lot of time and effort making it that way; look at this beast:



Someone spent MONTHS cutting out those panels and putting in that plexiglass -- yes, it is totally monstrously ugly. But hey, everyone needs a hobby

Just don't park it next to my car!
