I'd rather know why people put giant Honda/Toyota decals on their rear windshield. Especially when it's freaking 1989 Corolla or something.

I'll bet our last names are the same... =). There's more of us than people think. Sooner or later we'll take over. Just biding our time.

Why do they put these stupid small wheel/tires that stick way out of the fenders? Sure it some performance element since you have more torque but it just looks stupid.

I still can't figure out why people will spend extra cash every year to get the name of their car on personalized plates when the manufacturer generally plasters it all over the car as part of the purchase price.

Another annoying thing they do is put the Mexican state they came from on the windsheild like "Michoacan"

Stickers in general on cars are stupid, IMHO. It's one of the more expensive things most people own yet they slap crap all over them like an old beer fridge. :confused:

It's a form of personalizing their vehicle I believe. What they don't realize is that ever other mexican has the same damn last name.
