It had stretched tires and a "daily driven" window sticker, so it may have been a tryhard "rat" mod or something.

That really took me a second to figure out. Does it have two motors?

Out of all the terrible cars in this thread I'm surprised nobody has powdercoated a fender or two and shoved it on. I want to see how it looks vs. plastidip.

Cakefool posted:Y'all are pussies. When I was 17 I drive my mk 2 fiesta like it was a fighter plane, ducking and diving between giant trucks, banging off the rev limiter all the time in top gear. My first car at 16 was a 68 bug. It had a slightly bigger engine coming in at 1600cc, but was still slow as balls. It was super easy to get sideways anytime the roads were wet, and well, I drifted many many more times than I should have. All kids are stupid at the age 16-2*. It's why I don't understand parents who give their kids these stupidly powerful cars and then wonder why little Johnny wrapped it around a telephone pole.

I wonder if some of these are a tribute to the mighty car mods guys, they had a series of episodes building a car with the most "street cred" for the least amount of money and I think I remember them doing their VW with a Japanese comic fender

Maker Of Shoes posted:Would have preferred an off color fender. Ugh. I think it only qualifies as not terrible on an old corolla. The manga pages fit the theme and someone obviously went out of their way to make it happen. I see that same poo poo all over here except on slammed miatas and even more integras and hellaflush stickers instead. That's terrible. I even see them with faded/torn stickers a lot and you'd be surprised how many are perfectly well matching fenders with good or decent (from what I can tell) paint. The one I saw the other day was a debadged accord with rust where all the badges were in the shape of the honda logo. Barf.

It's missing just something tiny from being truly awesome, so I have to post this as terrible. Maybe it would be awesome if somebody was mad enough to do this to the STS-V?

These guys and their rolling junkyards to Mexico, I see this poo poo everyday on my way home. It was windy as hell this morning and this guy was doing ~45 in the middle lane on a 75mph stretch of interstate. Swerving/ leaning like crazy and the weed eater was sticking out the side by a few feet. Tie downs? One should do it right.

Assuming this is what the confusion is about, the 25% info is from this method. eg: trunk  , door  , quarter panel  Completely covering every surface with a slathering of deadening isn't necessary (unless you have a stake in dynamat's revenues), and should have an insulating layer on top of that to really be effective anyway.

Cakefool posted:God forbid your 40 year old car actually corners like a 40 year old car Adding a ton of weight and spending a stupid amount of money on an item that really does take away one of the largest aspects of an old car really does alter the major factor of owning an old car. And honestly I do somewhat feel the same way about some of these old rear end cars that are basically nothing but a brand new car with the shell of an antique put on top of them. And wow, you sure sound mad about it.

See, personally, I'd love a classic Hemi Charger that rode, handled and braked like a new sports car, but take away the sound and it all seems rather hollow. The rest are valid points, but altering the car in such a way as to lose the one thing that literally everybody agrees is great about American muscle? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIlJNzSXUZk
