Its always the same kind of kids, the ones that dress and act just like rappers and think they are from then inner city. Why though? Rappers never put jap cars in their videos and never have them in their personal life. They always drive luxury cars or old musle cars.
Just ranting i guess, but it seems that these kids try to emulate everything rappers do except when it comes to cars. Just seems strange.

BTW, crappy Japanese cars? That's pretty funny when the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry are better made, and better selling cars than your Fords

Japanese cars act like performance is a plus, not the main reason to purchase a car, whereas German cars ads are vice versa.
Personally, I'm going for an M3 this summer.

And i assume shanafans comment was to me, but i dont like fords that much and dont know y you think i do. Also about the avatar, yes i chose it but i am not trying to emulate anyone. The crowd of kids that seem to love "rice" so much do everything to emulate rappers (including some white kids even wear do rags, and i know their not trying to grow waves).
Price i dont think matters either because some japenese cars cost as much as any car.

Why does a front wheel drive car need nice rims?? Why does a front wheel drive car need a nice paint job?? It makes the car look nice, end of story. I don't care why spoilers were originally put on cars, they look sweet, end of story. |
They don't look sweet, they look stupid. The coffee can on your exhaust doesn't "sound" sweet either.

Have to agree with you there. I was making the point of the people that put the "racing spoilers" on cars that have no purpose having them. But i do agree that the smaller more "factory" do look damn good when applied well.

i hate all of the 17 yr olds that say it gives them better down force
that bulshit cause it wont do shit till u hit 120 and when u do and u have a crappy front wheel drive Japanese car its going to take off like a plane and the front wheels will just slip and the cornering will be shit
first of all if ur going 150+ mph u need to get body work done and make it so u have lots of front downforce before you even add a wing to the back. and if ur really going to put a wing on the back it should be small and should do the job its intended for. All im saying is a 3ft high wing doesnt do shit
But i would like to have a Skyline those are the only good japanese cars

Yeah...if the car is RWD or 4WD...

Wow you really take those stereotypes seriously...
Ummm... most of the people I know who drive imports and listen to rap music aren't teens. More in their early to mid twenties.

And you obviously haven't ridden in a "cool" import. They can be quite satisfying.

Correct me if I am wrong but you drive a BMW right? Which technically is an import is it not (even though it's not from Japan)? I kinda see what you mean but I think they chose to follow the Fast and the Furious more than Rapper Videos. Rap is quite prevalent in those movies but they all drive modded out imports. Just a thought.

I don't know about being popular with the tuner crowd. I am a member of Probetalk and MX6.com and though there are plenty of members I don't think we even come close to rivaling Civic owners. Or Neon owners for that matter.
Import owner or Domestic by whatever definition you chose tons of people do stupid things with any car. There's only 4 "modded" Probes around here that I know of. I see 3 at the track often. My Red 2nd gen. A Black 2nd gen like mine but slower. And a hot black first gen, driven by a hot brunette.
Then there's the Green thing. Neon green. Wing. Lights and shit. Ugly as hell. No performance mods. If you get into Mustangs though, there's about half a dozen with LEDs and neons all over them. Aluminum wings. The wonderful cannon style exhausts. Zex and NOS stickers on their car at the same time. Altezza tails.
People can ruin any car if given the chance. One of the nicest cars in this area IMHO, is a 94 300ZX TT. The idiot that owns it added his aluminum wing and added DUCT TAPE!!!!! racing stripes. Talk abot ruining a gorgeous car.
And there's a reason it's generally shitty Neons, Foci, and Civics being turned into rolling jokes. That's what most highschool kids can afford. If they had a larger bankroll I'm sure we'd see the same shit on much nicer cars.

This one was made as a joke. It was auctioned off on Ebay with the proceeds going to one of the car forums.
