IIRC, it's a european custom (maybe it's canadian too), but in the case of the OP, I will chalk it up to the US education system.

Heh... you just reminded me of one of my buddies. He doesn't have fancy rims, just what came with his $200 car. All his stereo stuff is stuff that was given to him or that he's had for at least fifteen years. He pulled out the back seat and laid down his old floorstanding Cerwin Vegas there, and had computer speakers as his fronts (until they blew out 😛). The deck itself was secured on some kinda gooseneck... it was a great security mechanism, because any thief that bothered looking would think "there's no way I'm gonna eff with that mess."
He killed his alternator with a Nelly CD before he found out a capacitor would have done him some good--except he was confused because his idiot friends that are "into" car audio told him he needed a "Ferret". It was months before I figured out the crankheads were talking about a 1 farad capacitor.

This is the USA. If you want spinners on a hooptie then more power to you. Just like the kids who self install body kits on old imports and don't have the money to paint the car. When you don't have much, sometimes one small thing can make you feel good about yourself. You shouldnt judge them too harshly.

I agree. Why do people feel the need to complain about stupid crap like this? Your an idiot.

does it really bother you that much?

just laugh it off and continue on your way. damn some people on this board sure love to complain about anything, even if it has no effect on them in their life whatsoever.

It's a well known fact that a trained ferret is one hell of a car security system.

yeah....agreed. I think a combo of 2, 3, and 4. Anyhow, it is funny, but as a musician, it sure kills my ears. When we had a dog in the back, it would whine when it heard the "music" because the bass was so loud, so my mom used to tell them to please turn it down. I like Chris Rock's skit on the subject!

I like how the author of the site pokes fun at a stock celica and calls having a naked woman silhouette on a vehicle "beloved patriot."
edit: and his stinging commentary on having two for sale signs in your windows
/sarcasm

riceboy hall of shame had some pictures that were actually funny. This site.. is not.
 
Certain things are within their rights to do so, certain things aren't such as fart cans, clear lamps in tail or excessive tinting. They not only make the car look hideous, they affect the peace/safety of people around them.

well...i can understand that

I can't. Maybe they'd feel better if they had a penny to their name as opposed to butt-ugly pieces of metal attached to their car. Morons who dump that sort of money into their POS car and don't use money wisely deserve to be made fun of.

They they buy spinners for their hoopty, and you make fun of poor people. You both do what you need to do to feel better about yourselves, so why judge?
