Ok, so the other day I was driving home from the airport, and I saw a Crown Victoria.

Now this car had rims that were too big for the car, and I mean big. It was 3 feet off the freaking ground. To make matters worse, the wheels had spinners on them. The windows we also tinted. I just had to laugh because it was just the stupidest thing I've ever seen people do with a car, and I bet y'all $5 that a white suburban kid was driving it.

So, now it's time for you people to share your stories of stupid things people do with cars!

There is a Dodge Neon in my town that someone lifted about 20-30 inches. I haven't seen it in a while, but I think they only bring it out in the winter. The next time I see it I'll get a couple of pictures.

Can't forget about the guy that put a rhino horn on his Ford Explorer, and put it on monster truckish tires. It looks absolutely ridiculous.

Does taking all the dogs they own through the Wendy's drivethrough in their car count?

I saw a car with cow horns on the hood at the KFC where I work, but they had Texan plates which explains it.

I want to turn the 85 Vanagon I use for work into a lowrider with diesel smoke stakes on the back.

I hated when people did that in DT at fagzoli's.... The only thing worse was when they said "just a moment" and they begin talking on their phone...grrr..

There used to be a beat up old Cadillac around my town with an honest to God wooden spoiler.

Tell me about it...we're timed, people, so hurry it up a notch, eh?

Also: If I ever get my hands on a DeLorean, I'm turning it into the Back to the Future version. No question about it. No matter what.

I would have to say the stupidest thing is when they crash them.

Second, would be doing up a Camry. Possibly the world's most boring car & some people hot them up. At least start from a decent baseline, for god's sake. :rolleyes:

There is a Chevy Tracker that drives around my town with 9 large antennas sticking out of it. For what? I don't know.

Does it have FBI on the side?

Oh, do I have a story to tell about THAT!

Okay, so here I am, on the back register as usual, when things slow down. There's only one car in the drivethrough, and I'm only collecting, not taking(meaning that I only collect the money for the order and don't take it as well) since it's about 2:00 P.M., a time we still typically have someone taking separately. The car is taking FOREVER to order, so I wander over to the drive-through soda fountain to get a quick little cup of lemonade and share in a joke the GM was telling to the others standing right there when all of a sudden some green SUV driven by some elderly guy and his wife comes roaring down the wrong way through the drive-through. We wave at them to try and stop them, but it's too late: they slam right into the front of the car that was still ordering. Kept the drive-through closed for close to two hours with the clean-up. Luckily, no one was hurt. It was just funny as hell, all things considered.

Funny.:p

Ok. One day at work I was doing carts. I was standing waiting for traffic to pass, when this old woman backs into my row of carts. She gets out. She said something along the lines of "Why did you get in my way when I was backing out." I replied, "Ma'am I've been standing here for over a full minute. Didn't you look before you backed up?" "I can't really look back because I amso old it hurts my neck. But it is going to cost me $500 to get my cor repainted." I looked at the car and it had the tiniest scratch imaginable. "I suppose you won't be paying for that either."I couldn't believe it. So I just said "Why you hit me?" and pushed my row of carts as traffic finally started moving.

I remember seeing some idiots driving about in a clapped out old Austin Metro:

It had a top speed of about 15mph with them all in, but they'd still fitted one of those things that make the exhaust sound ten times as loud. It sounded so awful, you could hear it from about a mile away.

The fact that they obviously thought it made them look cool deserved a chuckle.
