...some of those cars are just brutal. Like the guys with an unpainted body kit on a saturn/sunfire/88 Accord, no rims, a massive muffler and spoiler (the kind that looks like a steel girder). Some days I'm driving to work, it sounds like I'm in a rally of some sort...but no, that's just the local's $3000 cars.
