I was with a friend yesterday driving to lunch here in chicago, and we were at a light behind a hideous Eclipse with a coffee can sticking out of its rear and a giant unfortunate whale-tail bolted to it.

On the top of the back trunk edge was a "VTEC" sticker, big and white in the same font that is used for Honda products....

What is this guy thinking???

I'm hoping to find it parked in town and get a pic for all to enjoy.

 

along the same lines, yesterday in costa mesa i saw a ford escort with type-R decals next to the ford emblem and the license plate holder said "SHHHH!! She thinks it's an NSX!"

 

While I'm on the subject, what's with all the giant exhaust tips I'm seeing on jeep cherokees??

 

one word: "riceboypage.com"

 

My mom has a Jeep GC with the 5.9 liter engine, it has a huge exhaust tip..??
that suck will do wheelies

 

A lot of Jeep Grand Cherokees have big honkin' V8's under the hood, and come standard with massive exhaust pipes. And they sound pretty nice, too, when they're making 7 mpg (-;

 

hey I saw a festiva with a 4" pipe

it looked lowered but still had OEM wheels

 

My favorite one is still a Civic del Sol driven by a gray-haired gentleman. On the back left of the car was a 230 SLK badge. Go figure.

 

I guess there is such a thing as "old fart rice" too?

 

Lako, I have seen that Eclipse that you are talking about. I was at lunch with a friend one day this summer and we both saw it. We were both amazed...and I was KICKING myself because I didn't have my camera with me.

The guy worked as a delivery driver at a place next to where we were eating...
