Stick on portholes

WTF?

Everyone is putting these things on their cars. WHY!??!!?! Just the other day, I saw an FC with some. AN S5 VERT, with those stupid little autozone/advanceauto/walmart stick-on fender ports.

Please tell me that nobody here would do that... right?

I see these things on V6 Chargers all the time. The most common vehicle in Sterling Heights is a V6 Charger with as many stick-on cosmetic enhancments as possible, sitting on 22's, with a huge cross and arabic writing on the back window.

Stick on accessories, aluminum bench wings, those "portholes", 22" stickers, donk cars, altezza tails on trucks and cars that aren't a ******* altezza/IS300.......

All that **** pisses me off.

I dont call it rice or anything like that anymore. It's just flat out ******* retarded. You call someone a ricer, they're not going to know what you're talking about or think it's cool. Call them a ******* RETARD and tell them their **** is TACKY, UGLY, ******* FLAMING GAY......something.

Rice doesn't cut it for what people do to cars these days.......

Makes me want to get my rage on. Oh wait, that's probably because i'm listening to zao and it's 5:32 in the morning and my ******* tongue is swollen but that's my dumbass fault.


I have a dirty mouth.

They looked good on the old Buicks. The ones from the 40's. I thought it was kind of cool when they FIRST brought the portholes back for the Lucerne. Or is it the LaCrosse? I don't know, but since this crap explosion has happened, Buick's best bet is to drop the whole porthole thing totally.

That truck is butt ugly, and that idiot spent alot of money to make it that ugly. 16 tipped exhaust? The only thing it's missing is a set of those plastic ***** hanging from the hitch.

I agree with the whole "it's not rice, it's retarded" statement. I mean, who puts stick-on side ehaust on the back bumper of a Plymouth neon, with the stock exhaust hanging below.... you'd have to be some kind of idiot.

You mean "Bozo style," right? For the love of FSM, I hate these stupid "portholes." At least it announces beforehand the driver's a poser who has no taste in case you have the displeasure of speaking to him.

I've seen them.

Jesus h why.

I dont understand it. I swear i dont.


The things people do to their cars, then the actually drive them and try to look hard behind the wheel.

You know what i do worry about above all? My car. Could give a **** less if somebody wants to look like a retard behind the wheel of one of those abominations. If anything, i've got something to laugh at regardless of how bad of a mood i'm in.
