That and the wheels probably kill the gas mileage.

I don't really care if people blow their money on this stuff, I just think it is silly. Hell, it gives me something to point and laugh at. I have been guilty of some of the things I listed when I was younger. But it just seems to get more and more strange with what comes out next.

Ill give you the box flares but I am talking about this kinda crap.

And those two words "import" and "tuner" have such a negative connotation to me these days.

They both look like E36 M3.

So why is anyone bitching? We all like different things. Who cares? I think tricycles with hella tuck poke reacharound bumfart camber are awesome. Shoot me.

I want louvers for the MX6 so bad it hurts, but the company that made them ceased production almost a decade ago.

People who think it looks like E36 M3 have every right to say so; just like people have every right to buy into these trends in the first place.

I think skinny tires on super wide wheels look like hell. I cars that are so low that the fender covers most of the tire look really dumb. No one ought to get bent out of shape about it either way, but there's no reason the dissenting opinions should be quashed.
