You buy the cheapest car on the market, black out the windows, and put in a loud annoying aftermarket exhaust and you think you’re cool? You have to be kidding me! How on earth can you not know you’re a loser? —Tired of Losers

BEST was with the neon was still on the market. Every little wanna-be gangsta had one and did the same thing — complete with purple under body lighting. ROFLZ.
Uggh I hate Pontiacs for this exact reason. Find me someone that drives a Sunfire that isn’t a complete douchebag, I dare you!
Oh-o’s. I have 59 Windsor, 440 big block, 272 trans, 3:15 rear end, does that mean that I’m an un-cool loser too? 🙁
Tricking out a POS is nothing new, remember the Gremlin or the Pacer?

They ‘pimp’ their ride, because they can, and because they can’t afford a real mussle car.

I’ll be the first to admit, those ‘tin can’ mufflers, are pretty lame.
FUCK I can’t stand those after market ‘Monza’ tip mufflers…most pointless and annoying thing you can buy for your car. “I have a POS car but I think I’ll go plop a c-note down on an exhaust tip that makes it sound like I don’t have any muffler at all, yo!” They do little, if nothing for the car’s performance and sound like shit. Waste of money IMO. And it’s almost ALWAYS some young, punk-ass ‘wigger’ thug wannabe too. (Maybe that’s the problem) I used to live in Clayton Park and my street turned into a race course for these little fuckers…screaming by my apartment in the dead heat of summer (every window open) at 1am, waiting until they were right in front of my building and then downshifting..BBRRRAAAAAAAAAAP! Piss. Me. OFF!! But, I’ve come to discover that, while these useless tin cans are annoying as fuck, they are juuuuust the right size to stuff a couple of small – med size potatoes up into. “Lessee you roll on dat, dawg! Booya! Thas how we do it…straight outta PEI, yo!”
I dunno melectric… I’ve seen some preppy pimped out sunfires.

I’d be surprised if those guys had any hearing left. They the same ones with the pulsing bass from their stereo shaking the entire car. How can they take that? Hurts my ears and I’m not even in that car.
But the drivers are likely douchebags Zed 🙂

i guess they don’t have a mirror at home. fucking exhausts are annoying as hell. why the hell would anyone want one. they don’t look or even sound cool, just stupid on the little shitbox cars like hondas. give me the good old thrush bluebomber, that sucker would rattle the windows, and not sound like someone having a giant shit.
Everyone bitching in this thread is just jealous! Haters!!
i always wanted one of these in a larger size http://www.film.queensu.ca/cj3b/Photos/Toy…
avasto. I worked in Worcester, MA for ten months and that’s all I heard all night with the under lighting as kitty mentioned. Fuckin’ tacky!
BTW. Please don’t use PEI potatoes on them that’s an waste and an insult. Use Idaho.
They say you “can’t polish a turd”.
No, but you can put a spoiler on it.
=) wheeliep

Savage and Hyndeman rule, Huge-O.
First time I heard the saying I was an 18 year old PreWheelieP, playing the Middle Deck. The drummer I was playing with, seeing my doublestacked Peavey Combo 300 “stack”(sorry to the lady Bitches for tech talk. I’ll tell a Cyoot story after), said “You can’t polish a turd”. It looked badass in my teenage bedroom, but on stage I was the owner of a Doublestuff Meh., hold the Awesome.
Ladies!
When I was 17/18 I worked almost every Monday-Saturday playing bass in late 1980’s Halifax. The bar owners knew I was illegal, so the deal was, no alcohol. No problem. I was smoking too much hash and pot anyway. The waitresses at the Middle Deck, each of whom I have a crush on, to this day, would drop off a nice cold glass of milk, on a tray held aloft by sexy fingers, whenever I made eye contact and requested the Udder Sauce.
God help me, I still feel like that kid who loves to Play for his “J-O-B”.
the boy plays drums so i aktually knew what you were on about^^
Those cars are shit boxes and should be banned from the road. Neons, Sunfires, Cavaliers, all that shit. Buy a real fucking car. Ironically most of these idiots who drive such shit boxes come from Spryfield and Sackville.
Most of them are cops kids.
Hmm I wonder if you’re my neighbour, OP. Shitty black sunfire (I believe) always parked out front of OUR building…?
Anyway, regardless, I feel your pain. I can’t stand these idiots either.
Black sunfire, or green one, Truelies?
Someone’s been parking a green sunfire behind my building on the street for months. The super put a note up in the mail room that the cops called and told him to tell us to stop fucking calling regarding this car because it’s legally parked. Or something.
Only HPD would be all “UGH STOP CALLING US OVER CONCERNS REGARDING YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY AND THE SAFTEY OF YOUR PERSONAL BELONGINGS!!!”
*shakes head*
Haha yeah sounds like them, kitty.
And this one is black, I have the unfortunate displeasure of seeing it whenever I leave the house.
Funny how sunfire’s are usually the culprit in these issues.. my parents used to own one Ha!
