C4 hardtop corvette with a body color(red) touring style wing tacked onto the roof, and an aluminum triple element aluminum wing on the rear deck. to boot, it had a second aluminum wing, a dual element this time, tacked onto the other trunk mounted wing. It had testarossa side strakes and looked like it had been raised(?!). I suppose the kicker of it all was the "RICEH8R" license plate frame(too cheap to actually get the vanity plate, i guess.)

Also seen a Trans-Am Firebird WS6 at a gas station with 3 successive carbon fiber dual element wings lined up on the trunk...I wish I'd had my camera, because they looked like really high quality wings, too.

oh well....

There's some funny stuff out there...at least a lot of the "powered by" stickers I see on imports are in jest (ie..."powered by rice" or "bean power"(in the ///M power font) or "trash burner" in white lettering (I thought that one was especially good because the driver/owner was this 5'5" scrawny white college student, driving an early 90's civic hatch with a fully built turbo B16B. He had mustang and camaro silhouettes below his driver's side window sill.)

hey at first I thought I'd seen that car...then I realized it was a <'00 eclipse that I saw on Fletcher Pkwy in El Cajon(quite a tek from poway, too). Too many strickered cars running around these days

Sorry that I posted about domestics, I think I've seen too many stupid things on imports to count/differentiate any standouts. Those two I remember very clearly because they are so hilarious.
