I hate anything audio that doesn’t look or install in the OEM location. Like big goofy subs and amps and shit.

Also still do not understand the Honda kids wrapping their bumpers and hoods in cloth fabric, or rusting shit

In all fairness, the rust fad isn’t even new. That’s been around since what? At least the 50s? Rat rods, braaaah.

yeah but really rat rods don’t go that crazy with it. Rat rods are just rusty they dont apply acid to the car to intentionally rust it out

Good point. Although truthfully, I have seen a couple that looked pretty cool.

bike racks, wide wheels/offsets(sometimes wider in rear even tho its FWD) is more a VW thing…nobody understands it besides diehard vw guys. However there is a fine line with the wheel deal but when done proper it looks good.

Only thing i cant stand is people who STILL have altezza tails/huge loud exhaust on stock motors/cheap walmart wheels etc. But in the end if you think it looks good then fuck it an rock it.

Well at first you say that you can’t stand it, but later you say it’s fine.

Most of us have been there, and most of us grew out of it. Why? Because it’s stupid and we’ve realized it due to peer pressure mostly to make us better.

There is no reason to promote it/allow it.

Since this went from “dont get” to “cant stand,” I cant stand when you people have such strong opinions about what others waste their money on.

i dont get hating. its all based on a small amount of envy in some way or another. v8 guys hate on imports usually because they cant stand to know that they can keep up or beat them for less. rich guys hate on anything affordable because they do the same thing. import guys hate on v8 guys because of the hate on import guys. and then theres vw guys who hate on everything because they are the slowest. track car guys hate on street car guys because they get to enjoy there car whenever and wherever, and make the excuse that its “irresponsible, unsafe, childish”. guys with wide wheels hate guys with skinny wheels. the list goes on and on and on. so far all ive seen is everyone has one thing in common. hating donk. not understanding/hating whatever you want to call it is going to be around forever no matter what. everyone seems to have this undying urge to state their opinions and argue it till they are blue in the face. stop it.
