Do people who drive modified cars realise how stupid they look?
And worse still you stick a stupidly oversized exhaust on the back just to make sure we can all hear you coming from 2 miles away
At least it gives us a chance to finish our tea before we come out to laugh at you as you drive by

Someone lost a girl to a guy with a cheesy car..LOL!
Im just messin around Doorman, you just seemed a bit irritated to actually ask this question.
I think theres nothing wrong with it until you get the lame-os who put super loud exhausts (that add little or no HP), way too low profile tires, no roll control, and huge meaningless wings.
But, I've seen it done right before too, with the turbo, nice rims (not too low profile), no gnarly wings, no super loud exhaust, and an engine that runs low 12's. Thats doing it right.
I agree. Their brains must be modified as well, if you know what I mean. However, if that is their worst and dumbest vice, I guess it is ok. I know though, I hate to see and hear those loud "things," especially the really tall and loud pickup trucks. It is like they are wanting to participate in those monster truck shows or something. They need to go to the car and go cart races and get it all out. When I see guys that have cars that act like that, I truly feel embarrassed for them. I really do.
Whats the matter,jealous did you get blown away by a few kids in a nova har har har. what do drive a skoda
Yes a waist of time and money. But everone has a different hobby. I will say I would like to have my windows in my car slightly tinted, but I don't want to spend the money on it.
have to agree - its just shouts max power dump valve acne riddled asbo chav - with nicked parts on his "fannymagnet"
Punto ? whats that ?
Ummm.. Does a modified 635csi count ? No wing (no need) as it damn near flies anyway, but what the heck. I changed the alloys for BBS, and put a loud pipe on it. you laugh, but take a close look at my face ? do I care ?
NOPE !
Yes, Yes, Yes. They should all be taken outside and shot, if you ask me.
It's not how others see you, It's how you see yourself.
lol its a kid thing, when i just passed my test i was into all that. you think it makes you look cool with ya mates and hot to the ladys, oh how little did i know then. but all cars are a status symbol and shout different things at different ppl.
and most ppl like to brag about theres and what it will do/whats its worth
just because you don't like something that doesn't mean that there are other people out there that do. Everyone can spend their money how they want and whatever brings them pleasure.
Which Planet do you come from.
1) Modified cars will often look stock, but do more miles per gallon, more miles per hour, quicker acceleration, handle better etc than stock.
2) very few people are stupid enough to modify good stock cars with body kits etc but they are a very cost effective solution to accident damage.
3) If you dont realise that spoilers can have a very positive effect
at the top speeds reached by modern small hatches then you are clearly not very knowledgeable, the effect becomes apparent as slow as 70 mph, but they hurt top speeds .
4) A couple of extra lights might be beyond your ability to fit but if you drive on proper roads without street lights and in the rain you might appreciate that extra lights are a great asset, if you dont agree get your eyes tested because I know people who think you only need Dip headlights because you cant see any further with main beam , and it turns out they can only see 100 yards.
You need to see a mile at least to be safe.
5) I've had people walk up to me in the street and compliment me on the way my Fog and Spot lamps looked, perhaps it is because I took trouble to recess them into the front valance while allowing some adjustment, but when you drive up by Loch Tay on a wet dark night you need about 8 extra lights like the truckers not just 4., Anybody ever complimented you on the way your motor looks, Thought not.
Your Jealous, never mind, buy the tickets and perhaps you will win the lottery and afford a McLaren F1 a standard motor which cannot be improved., except by arranging an inhibitor switch to stop the rev limiter working in top gear..
Nowt wrong with them, I'm planning on modifying mine, I don't like the standard.
Don't knock em - you may be flogging them your beemer one day!
Makes me laugh because i have a sports coupe and these numptys are allways try to race me for gods sake i am 36 years old and do they really think they would beat me in their "modified" Corsa/Punto/Saxo/106 which has got half a ton of plastic crap glued to it and a ton of stereo speakers in the boot when my car is capable of over 150mph just let them go past and laugh at them.
Was driving home the other day and heard a roar which i thought was a super car with a v12 under the bonnet so i slowed down to let it past so i could see what kind of 5.7 V12 beast it was and it was a vomit yellow coloured 1 litre Punto with 4 drain pipes sticking out the back HA HA HA HA HA what a plonker he and the car looked.
I agree with you on your question Doorman.
They look like social rejects . If they do it to inpress their mates then why is it when ever you see one go "roaring" by With their 1litre engines working hard to push along all that tupperware glued on . Why is it they are nearly always on their own. Do all their mates think they look like losers and not want to be seen with them.
LOL good question.
I don't think they know how stupid they look.
The worst, however, are those stupid blue lights they put under the bodywork !
Now THAT is stupiddddddddddddddd
If well done then its good (ie the Vauxhall Nova outside the local garage which has had a proper job done to it and is used at shows)
The majority however with their stock Halfords mods look stupid!
Penis extensions Doorman, thats all they are.
I used to have a granada 2.9, and these little tw@ts pull up next to me in their little 1.1 fiesta's and rev their engines. I used to have great fun waving as i zoomed away in front of them.
But seriously i do have a real problem with the noise. I've lost count of the times my son has jumped and screamed when one of these di.ck heads has raced past. Apparently when you modify your car speed limits no longer apply.
Don't you think the spoiler is aptly named, ugly things.
Stop watching pimp my ride you fools.
u mean the chav's car .. yeah they look pretty stupid driving around like that with their bass way up .. cheesy as f*ck !!
Can't stand them, I did have a white mini years ago, tried to chrome it out, but that's as bad as I would go, these guys spend thousands on making there ears bleed.
I do remember a Top Gear episode where a modified car club took on a Classic Car club, on a hill climb circuit, them with a suped up noise machine, the old boys with a Austin Healey with half the engine of the modified car, and 30 years older, guess who won. I've never seen a bunch of tweed wearing oldies look so pleased with themselves.
Encore!! Encore!! I love this guy, couldn't agree with his statement more. I mean why do these Duck F****rs spend a large fortune on this crap trying to turn their piece of junk into a piece of junk with pig spoilers and a leaking exhaust. Firstly if you must have a loud exhaust I'll save you all a forture and tell you just to knock a hole in your silencers!!
But if you spend even £4k on something like this, lets look at what else you could have had. A 1980's M5 BMW, Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo, Lexus Soarer Twin Turbo, Jaguar XJR40, these are proper fast cars that look a damn site more like real sports cars and none have a 0-60 speed of more than 6 seconds. When you modify a car the insurance goes through the roof so thats no longer the excuse, and the Jag in particular will be cheap to insure as any saloon that will rip your face off never carries any loading seeing they never get crashed! which pumps up the insurance more than even being 18!!
They look ridiculous i agree. Check this out.
I am sitting at the traffic light things at a level crossing. A citreon ax pulls up with three scallies in it. I have my window down having a ciggie and the passenger says. "what size of engine". Now i am driving a company Mercedes. A C-Class 220 Kompressor. He then Stupidly says he can beat me off the lights. So i took off the traction control. Put her in sports mode and as soon as the lights changed i floored it. I swear my face streched backwards like Za Za Gabor. I could hear his exhaust cos it was one of those stupid wide things. I was about 100 yards up the road when i heard him change into second gear. And too top it all off when we were aboput to go he says "get ready for tyhe power of this car". what a tit. His car looked like he had magnatised it and driven through Halfords.
That is one fast company car..40 in first gear and yes the engine was complaining but it was fun.
