Why do people is Halifax think that a Hyundai Tiburon is a nice car? So nice in fact that they trick them out with rims and spoilers… All that proves to me is that you are both poor and stupid.
If your car costs less than 50K it has no business being ‘suped’ up with after-market accessories. This includes all Sunfires, Cavaliers, Civics, Jettas and Corollas. These are all really, really cheap shitty cars and your accessories just make you look ridiculous. I drive a shitty car myself but at least I know that. —Ugh

i agree on everyone except Jettas; I like Jettas
Cheers to that Op. But you forgot Festivas!
these are the same yahoos that think a cube is a super cool car, which in reality, it is an ugly fucking shitbox.
…. This coming from a man who professes that the Crown Vic was the greatest car ever invented.
Really though, who gives a flying fuck what people drive? You can find similar fault with any vehicle.
dr. fever, never have i professed anyhing about a crown viccy.now if you are talkinglincolns, then that’s a 20 grand extra story. a crown vic is a licoln’s poor cousin. nice car, but not all the bells and whistles as my mark 7 lincoln.
those cubes are uglier than expired hookers tho…
My cheap car’s got tinted windows, not from me though, bought it used. Pimpin’ stereo system too. And I’m totally bad ass still driving with my Nova Scotia licence!
Don’t forger Pontiac Sunfires or Honda Civics
Civic is actually a decent commuter car. Leave it alone 🙂
Yes, and Lincolns are so much better.
I’d take a Cube over my planet-named brand any day. Better mileage, more space, make idiots who think that American makes are the crowning achievement in engineering say: “what a fuckin’ shitbox”…
There is a reason for the term “Civic Death”. Civics are not all they’re cracked up to be. The engines are ok, but the bodies are absolute crap. I love my Protege and there are tons of them on the road, but they shouldn’t be supped up either. It just isn’t right.
LEXUS – say no more, nudge nudge, wink, wink
I think the point of suping them up is to show they can get a shitbox car to out-perform a 50K + car with a little work and a few extra spare parts.
I mean, I’m no advocate of a ford focus but when it runs a quarter mile in under 9 seconds, there’s something special about it.
I totally agree with the OP. I live in Dartmouth and see a lot of yo-yo wannabee gangsters driving around in Neons (NEONS of all freaking things) with a spoiler, tinted windows, and seats so far back they are sitting in the trunk. A NEON is not and never will be a sports car no matter what you do.
Don’t forget the people who drive Hyundai Accents and remove the Hyundai logo thinking people will believe it’s a sports car. Haha….
my rusty ford focus can beat your ford focus anytime…vroom^^^i miss my 71 mini, it didn’t go fast but you could park it anywhere and push it yourself
“If your car costs less than 50K …” Well well well aren’t we snooty. Lol. I agree with this post somewhat, however I do have to say there are many many cars less than 50,000 that are, well, pretty great. Wait till the 2011 Jettas hit the street (they look like Audis) and Land Rovers, Volvos, BMWs, Mercedes, Audis, Subs (boxer engines ftw) and Lexus’ start below 50,000. Base Jetts/Civics not bad at all! I hate when they try to show off … ie pedal to the metal = vroom tin can sound, my shits gonna fall off the car oh nooo … you get the point. It’s all in the eye of the beholder I guess. Just how women put all this crap on themselves … and it doesn’t change a thing.
I meant to say, non base Jettas/Civics aren’t bad at all.
Years ago Sydney was the mecca for suped up Pontiac Sunfires. Amusingly they all had the same green lights underneath the cars lighting up the streets. LOL at all the people wasting money so their car can look like everyone elses.
Some could have waited for different coloured lamps to come in stock at least. The best was my buddy who had a Sunfire that was coloured in that hideous-yet-popular thick green colour who had orange decals put on the side and orange lights on the bottom. Was like watching Gumby & Pokey getting trapped in a snowball effect.
I agree, except with Jettas. Volkswagan makes good cars, GLIs are fucking hot. Jettas with the GLI kit, fucking hot.
Hey why you hating on Corollas? They are rad and you know it.
Where I used to live, there was this midnight racing hoodlum team called S Club 7, as in Sunfire Club 7. A couple of them were racing up the hill when I was driving and almost killed me. Since then, if I see a Sunfire, I cringe in fear.
VW’s may make great cars but their electric systems need some attention, I think. I see so many VW’s with only one tail lamp working.
Also, I must say that Dodge Caliber is a piece of *&^% car. It is too heavy for its wimpy engine, plastic inside looks like it should belong to a toy from a dollar store, and why would you have a beer cooler in a car if it is illegal to drink and drive?
Whoever mentioned NEON…if it was SRT4, it COULD be sporty.
See too many shit cars with massive mufflers…I think they stole them off a diesel truck…makes the car loud and still slow. Love the Neons comments…every second car is a sooped up Neon…why ?!
top gear…very monty pythonish *mouse ears* that show
Hay westcoastkid: my volvo was in an accident with a corolla. The corolla was was TOTALED, while my volvo’s front light was cracked and THAT’S IT.
My dad was in an accident in a volvo a few years back — head on with a crane truck. The front end of the volvo was a mess, but my dad didn’t have one scratch on him.
Other cars can go fuck themselves. <3 Volvos.
we had 3 decades of the volvo…not a scratch amongst us
I want to know why the cops allow these “performance” mufflers that you can hear for miles, yet if my regular muffler has a little hole and makes a tiny bit of noise then I get a ticket.
The only explanation I can come up with is that a law enforcement employee is selling them and it is policy not to ticket the owners.
Then there is the Harleys with the baffles removed from the muffler. I spoke to a dealer. They are street legal when they leave the lot. Most users remove the baffle to “sound cool”. Assholes.
Cops are so fake.
Volvos are pretty cool, but I prefer vulvas.
Saabs make me drool! I want one sooo bad. Stuck with my rusty Chevy for now, ohh well.
“The only explanation I can come up with is that a law enforcement employee is selling them and it is policy not to ticket the owners.”
L.M.A.O.
That’s some amazing deduction there, Inspector.
I love Top Gear too! Those three blokes crack me up every time.
kitty, the car is supposed to get totaled in a crash. All that energy expended to let shrapnel fly everywhere and crumple crumple = less energy in total your body absorbs.
I’d rather be fine in a crumpled car than have only a few scratches on the car and a brutal case of whiplash destroy my neck and seatbelt lines grooved into my torso
oh yeah, and big ups to Jeremy, the hampster and captain slow.
They put Cameron Diaz and Tommy Girl on Top Gear (to promote that new film *groannnnn*). She blew the clutch out on the testers. Pure comedy.
i wouldn’t let her drive my bike
zZz: in both accidents no one driving the volvo (with minimal damages) was hurt either (no passengers in either accidents). In the recent one with the totaled corolla, the car absorbed the shock but was so strong it did little more than dent the front and break the headlight (which, actually, is quite pricey to fix — anything on a volvo is pricey to fix).
Plus, I”m not sure about any other car makes, volvo motors are designed to drop in a crash rather than some other car manufacturers’ motors which will crash back onto your feet and cause leg injuries.
And in the crane truck crash, the volvo my dad was driving was totaled — the front end was a MESS, however, from the front doors to the back of the car is was in perfect condition. But, he had no injuries — not even when the belt tightened so he wouldn’t smash through the windshield.
I’d rather be in a tank than in a car that crumples as easily as the corolla did.
