Yeah, I'm not talking about the REAL mods (brakes, extra 20 horses, etc). I'm making fun of the FAKE mods, like exhaust tips and spoilers and "ground effects" kits. They're ridiculous! The guy drives around, proud to display the crap he just shelled out 1000 bucks for...and in reality, it weighs him down and scrapes on speed bumps!
I get the most joy out of blowing the doors off those kinds of guys when I can -- because they so want and need the attention, but completely lose it if they try to race. I especially like the newer V6 Mustangs that put dual exhaust on their cars... It's still slow, it still sounds like a 6 (only louder), and it's still gonna get whooped by me and my Cadillac, as I blast the A/C on and toast my buns away with the seat heaters! And I paid 10 grand LESS than they did to top it all off!!
I will say that at least that Cadillac could put up the performance to match the perceived "raciness" of the looks. What's really hilarious to me is the '85 Sentra with a smoking tailpipe with purple paint and chrome rims and window tint. But like Katshot said in another post -- some Americans are the most illogical folks in all the world. And somehow, they've got the money to waste on stuff like that. Like some of the mobile homes around here -- small single wide with two brand new Mustangs or Camaros in the gravel drive! At least they got their priorities straight.
