Rice Rockets part I

I just don't understand people who buy a $10k car just to put another $10k worth of mods on it. I can understand people who spend the money on equipment to make their car perform better and go faster. But I don't get the people who spend money to make their ride only LOOK faster.

Let me explain some things (and I'm not even that serious of a car guy):

That hood you installed with a fake scoop looks stupid. At its very least, a hood scoop has an OPENING to let air in to cool your engine. The fake hood scoop you installed doesn't even have a hole and serves no purpose whatsoever other than to prove that you're a poser.

You may like the sound of your new muffler, but everyone else hates it and thinks you're a prick. That annoying howl may make your car sound fast, but everyone knows it's not, especially when that SUV carrying 8 people is beating you off the red light. So face it, you're not fooling anyone.

On an actual RACE CAR, a rear wing uses air to provide downforce on the car to give better traction, especially on the turns. For the air to give downforce, the car has to be going fast enough (at least 80mph, but usually over 100). Of course, those cars have over 500 horsepower or more, so the drag that the rear wing creates doesn't affect the overall speed of the car. But on that used dodge neon your mom gave you, a rear wing does nothing more than slow you down. You're basically dragging a parachute on the back of your car. And because it IS slowing you down, it's pretty much pointless to have downforce because you can barely turn a corner over 15 mph anyway.

I think it's even funnier when people lower their car. Once they do, they can't have more than one passenger or else their tires rub against the wheel well. So good job, idiot, you just spent hundreds to make your car much less functional. Its just hilarious when your car is so low, everytime you go up a ramp or a speedbump, you scratch your new front bumper that's already ugly anyway. And you're even more terrified of potholes.

Oh, and those 18" rims you bought? You also have to buy new low profile tires, which makes a for a more bumpy ride. So on top of your new lowered suspension and those new tires, you now have a car that's so bumpy and uncomfortable, your ONLY one passenger that you can carry hates riding with you.

So how can you make your car even uglier? You put stickers all over it! I wonder if these people realize that race cars have decals and logos all over it because THEY ARE SPONSORED. Which means that those companies PAY the race team to show their logos. You, on the other hand, BUY those stickers so you can advertise those companies for free. Good job, dumbass.

Does anyone think this actually looks good?
