Chrome colored windshield wipers.

>Chrome colored windshield wipers.

You forgot the double and triple bladed chrome wipers.

My sons and I laughed at a S-10 Blazer last summer. It was equipped with some form of hydraulic suspension and he was jumping it all over the place. What interested me was that it looked like he was banging the lower control arm against the suspension stops with a great deal of force. When I pointed this out to my younger son (18) he at first didn't understand until I told him to keep an eye on him and if he kept it up long enough he would find out what was wrong with it.
Guess what less than 5 min. later he ripped the lower control arm on the passenger side completely off the chassis and blew out the hydraulic system. Way to go dummy

 

They have to put the billboard type graphics on the hood that say "Honda", "Mistu", "Toyota", or any of the other import brands, mainly because they have to try so hard to remember what they drive. Now, if they had a Ford it'd be different. WIth a Ford, you don't have to remember, you just drive!

 

Ugliest thing I have seen recently is a Neon with 12 inch chrome rims and a stick on hood scoop that the kid insisted was "functional". However the saddest thing by far was a 2001 F350 crew cab duallie that had been lowered to the point you could not roll a coke can under it. It had all the plastic things he could buy and a coffee can tip. So sad. :-X23

 

It's hardly a mod, but I always wonder what is the purpose of the chain license plate frames? Some folks around here have had the corner of their plate snipped with tin snips to remove the annual sticker. Maybe the chain frame would stop that.

i think supercab, and or 4x4 dropped to the ground are really stupid. some trucks site the dropping effect, some don't. and nos. that stuff is for kids. nos is nothing speical in my eyes. and don't get me started on ricers. i could go on forever. gas lawnmovers and weedwackers arn't a popluar noise, so why do kids want there cars to sound like that? (i can't remember where i read that, but i thyink i did on this site) also i don't like the huge wings and cars covered in stcikers. some kids seem to think stickers add horsepower or something. some people need to learn a 3 cylinder rciers doesnot have power. a 460 does!

Try to act like a 4x4?

I must admit, though, I've seen a few lifted, 2WD F150's and they look pretty nice to me. It may just be the Ford thing though...

 

I was driving way back in the country in Kentucky and I came across an old shack, I don't know how the thing was standing. Out in front sat an old chevy truck (imagine that, lol). Except this wasn't just any chevy truck, it had old, very weathered, posters of Dolly Parton stuck on both doors. Never seen anything like it, has to be the worst mod this old boy has ever seen. Now I'm a big country music fan and all, but that was just ridiculous.

Got to say the hydraulics beats all. Who in their right mind would go through all the trouble(and $$$),just to beat it up for 10 minutes for you to tow it home and fix it again.

Especially when you have to call the fire dept to come put your Ranger out because you crimped a hydraulic line, broke a torsion bar that happen to spark the concrete and ignite the hydraulic fluid.

Saddest part is he just had to do it w/ a Ford.

Someone this stupid should drive a Blazer...:+

 

Yall should see my friends old 88 jeep truck, he lifted it 6 inches by cutting 2 pieces of pipe and putting them on top of the front coil springs, then using 2 pieces of steel to make front control arms, did not fix the steering, at 50 it would shake, don't know how it held together, or why I helped him do it, I guess I was just bored. Then he ripped it apart again, lifted the front 8 inches by converting to leaf springs, rigged in with springs so long, that they bound up the shackles and did not give, and all the brackets were bubble gum welded on, and he finally go a drop pitman arm, but cut the old one off, and it had 3 splines holding the new one on, and then hitting speedbumps with it at 20mph, if I had not been there telling him about how to line up the front end, he probally would have killed himself, and probally me. His new truck is a 76 chevy shortbed, "race truck" that runs a solid 17 in the 1/4, the only brake that works is the right front, the seats are not bolted in, and has an electric fuel pump that you turn on by wrapping the wire on the battery post. He also has a lowered s10 with so much compression in the 4 banger that it ran without spark plugs in it, until it finally came apart. If you ever see a primer grey jeep comanche or a 76 c10 blue and primer shortbed stepside coming, get off the road.

My vote goes for the FWD ricer that is jacked up in the back!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA :-X11

As an aside, what the hell is the sense in installing $10,000 worth of stereo equipement in your car with enough bass to stop you heart? So much that it has to be operated aby remote from outside the car?

I'm not sure but I'll ask my son when he gets home. That is assuming he will be able to hear me. Think I'll probably need to write out the question.
Every time him and his friends used to get together at our house my body vibrated and our poodle would hide. I warned him and his friends that the next time they come over and the dog hides under the bed. I am not going to say a word (they couldn’t hear me anyway) I am just going to go out there and add some new ventilation holes to the stereo system of the offender with my trusty .357mag. As loud as they are no one would hear the gun. And around here no one would complain about it either. They understand I wasn’t kidding so it’s been very peaceful around here lately.

 

Lowered trucks and SUV make me chuckle every time - nothing funnier (sadder?) than a slammed 4x4 with low profile tires. Only a VERY few exceptions can actually make this look work - the Lightning being one off the top of my head. I think a truck, especially a Ford should stand tall and proud. If you absolutely HAVE to bring a truck to it's knees, please do it to an import or a Chevy - nobody takes them seriously anyways.

I shared a good laugh with a fellow Ford truck driver on the way to work the other day. I was cruising down the expressway, and started to pass a POS ricer (don'y know what it was - it's hard to tell them apart anymore), with all the requisite equipment - subs that were bigger than his wheels, coffee can exhaust, musta been 50-60hp worth of stickers in the windows, and this HUUGGE triple decker wing on the rear deck that was so heavy, the back of the car was scraping the pavement leaving a shower of sparks in his wake (I swear this is a true story). I looked up, and happened to make eye contact with the guy on the other side of the ricer (driving a sweet looking 250 SD, BTW), and we both broke out laughing. We slowed down for a short ways, pointing at the wing and other items of interest to each other. That big bad Super Duty wouldn't belong to someone on the forum would it?
