Worst Auto Trends.
Looking at DanZilla's signature it occurred to me that I did not know what 'Murdered Out' was. So after a quick Google search I was blown away to find forums dedicated to what I believe is the absolutely laziest and least creative car trend I've ever seen. I mean even the craziest, lamest ricers put more effort into their rides.
But entire forums dedicated to it??? "Dude, check out my murdered out ride, it's all black and tinted!' "Wow that's awesome, now check mine out, it's all black and tinted!" "Awesome!" That's got to be more boring than waiting for legit F/T/R-86/S news... Anyways, anyone else care to vent about their least favorite auto trends? |

'Hellaflush" is pretty up there just because it is so impossibly impractical::

Yeah, theres something about "hellaflush" that just doesn't look right. Something about fashion > function really gets to me, if it looks great while it performs, then hell yeah, but don't make a nice car fugly and reduce its automotive potential.
Its on my quirks list. Though I have seen some really nice looking cars. I would just rather have seen it on the track "melting face" or something. |

All these trends seem to recycle so these so called new generation really isn't inventing anything new.
In the 80's, dropped Suzuki Samuri's, Mazda B2200, Toy's, Nissan Hardbody Mini trucks and even import and euro cars had the wide wheels w/ stretched tires. They called them "Frog style". In the 90's, it was the "clean look" which evolved to the "JDM look". The "hella flush" look will continue as long as wheel manufactures continue to offer their wheels in crazy offsets. A little stretch is good but I think it's pointless for the FF cars to run hella flush wheels or when they over stretch the tire.

The lame ass balls hanging off the rear bumpers, and those stupid ass little family stickers that people put on the back windows of their vans and SUVs.

I don't mind Hellaflush as long as it's not on fwd cars.
My least favorite trends include: Donks - American... and import (I've seen donked Altimas and VW Bugs). Buick fender grills on everything but Buicks. Fwd with their rear wheels wider/fatter than the front pair. Vinyl or rust covered hoods or body panels in general. Slammed daily drivers - I don't mind if it's your weekend cruiser but creating traffic because your daily is barely drivable or being afraid to switch lanes 'cause a reflector might crack your front lip or ding your oil pan is kinda dumb.
