Ridge,
I think you should put a monster spoiler on that thing!

Nothing wrong with that. I had an 87 turbo GT convert for many years.

I love this crap.... I see it all the time at the race track. I don't understand it at all. It is usually on the hondas and other foriegn crap which makes even less sense. A spoiler is used to put downward force on the rear tires for traction and stability over 90 mph... which does nothing on a front wheel drive vehicle that goes 85 tops.

You don't think fwd cars need to have traction on the rear tires? That's high schooler mentality. You seem to be a little behind the times on what import cars are and aren't capable of. Here is a video for you. Looks stupid, but breaks records.

I was thinking the same thing. even a PS2 or PS3/XBOX game where you can customize a vehicle covers those aspects.

I thought this was gonna become a funny lic. plate thread....

I spent several years in Chicago, one of the least gun-friendly places in the country. As I recall, all guns have to be registered, you can't register handguns and certainly not hi-cap rifles, and there aren't even any civilian gun sales within all of Cook County (there was one place on the north side, PD only). It's a good example of a place where in general, only the criminals have guns.

Once saw an old Monte Carlo - complete with UBP camo* - roll by with a vanity plate that read:

[ PAKN A 9 ]

Ghetto shmetto, that dude had ballz!


* UBP - Urban Bondo and Primer

Edit: not that I have anything against Bondo or primer...

I had to keep reading that plate # to get it. I'm slow.

Jerry - Now that is a responsible "pimp" job of that car. The upgrades look nice.

As for all of the dumb ass spoilers. I wonder how most of these add-ons don't bend the sheet metal of the trunk. So many of these just look damned stupid. The low-profile type of spoiler, usually found installed at the factory, aren't bad though.

I agree. The little lip spoilers on Audis and the like are good looking.

Mine, actually

Whoops. Sorry Ridge! Looks good!
