There are a couple of local street boyz here in town that have some seriously badd a$$ Honda's. Those guys get My respect.
It's the wanna be racers, with their primered body kits, 8500K $99 HID specials, Running a stock B16 (90HP) engine that aggravate Me.

To me this has to be some of the most exciting auto racing on the planet, and there's been no coverage in the U.S. for years.
Yea!!!

I used to think that I'd like to convert a 5.0 mustang into a rally car.
Then I saw some in car camera shots of these WRC guys slinging it sideways through the forest in the mud weaving between trees doing at least 100 mph.
I had it pictured in my mind like "Dukes of Hazzard", wrong. I can't imagine doing it but I'm glad someone does cause it's awesome to watch.

cars with rims so big the car has to be lifted...
people that spend the money to put a sbc in a ford and claim that its sooo much cheaper.

A guy in my neighborhood has one of those TINY Nissan mini-pickups. He cut holes in his bed and installed TWIN 6" chrome exhaust stacks. It has the stock engine, which is probably some little 4-banger. It sounds every bit as stupid as it looks.

Here's where the Ricer thing gets carried to the extreme and just becomes totally silly:
Enough to make you gag...!
Not to mention the way they butchered that poor Corvette in the old Mark Hamill movie "Corvette Summer":

he had that thing tore all the way down to the head gasket trying to figure out why it wouldn't run. turned out it was the module in the distributor. last i heard he works for Catapiller.
and yeah, that kind of car is what i was talking about.
