Ricer c##p. Exhaust pipe extensions done to make up for the owners inadequacies. They call it small mans syndrome.

Yikes! The only thing missing is six foot high rear wings. I do not appreciate the appeal for massive body extensions but I am becoming an old fart.

Never could understand why people paint honda accords bright yellow and put huge spoilers on them. In England when I was growing up, racers generally tuned Golf GTI's, 205GTI's and RS Turbo's. Most were quite tastefully done comparable to the monstrosities that I see here.

When you can't demonstrate speed, advertise speed.

They say the same about MB owners too. Usually, it is the "Have Nots" that say it to compensate for their lack of abilities. It makes them feel better

I like the guy at 1:44, he looks like he just got in there by accident. At first I thought it was a joke Between the ridiculous exhausts and the body extensions that looked like they were bought at walmart and held on by masking tape, I just can't take it seriously. It kind of reminds of bad, low budget sci-fi movies.

The orange convertible at 7:00 takes the cake for me. I think these are pretty funny but amazed that they're actually driving around like that.
