I saw a riced Corolla a couple of weeks ago that was lowered to the point that it was almost scraping the pavement and had a ridiculous amount of camber on extremely wide tires. It also had a huge oversized wing on the back. LOL If i wasn't driving in heavy traffic I would have taken a picture. Yes they are out there!

Shark fin antennas on everything.

LED running lights on everything

Calling every car (suv and truck) Sporty, sporty feeling or a sporty drive when clearly most of them are not.

You gotta love automotive marketing (not)!

I have many b/c I'm an old fart.

1. Big cursive stickers on front windshields that no one can really read and blocks the drivers view. WTF is the point?

2. Taking a "sports car" (like the 86) and stretching out the tires. I don't understand. Clearly "function" is not a high priority here.

3. The "Stance Movement". Getting the car as LOW as possible and having so much negative camber to "look good"? Not practical, not overly functional, and in my opinion does not look good.

....

/end old man's rant.

I'm not "old" and I agree with this, but not "because racecar." I just think it straight up looks stupid.

I also hate when people apologize for their cars, like Scion or Subaru is paying them to do so. Our cars have rattles and noises they shouldn't have. Don't apologize for it with the some stupid argument like "it's a cheap sports car, what do you expect." My girlfriend's Honda Fit that costs $10k less new doesn't have these rattles, and neither did my '93 240sx, and this list goes on.

I also really hate the "because racecar" argument. It's so cringey reading these threads with people saying they hate automatic climate control, or HIDs, or push to start "because racecar" and none of these things are necessary. I guess you also removed all of your speakers, and your head unit, and all seats other than drivers, and your air conditioning system, "because racecar," and you don't need those things. It's like me sitting here and saying, "man, the new Corvette has too nice of an interior, so it's a terrible track car."

This thread is fun.

[Atticus808]

I hate big dumb trucks, and the drivers wear white sunglasses.

I hate when idiots always say "too bad it isn't a manual".

I hate 16 or 17 year old kids buy a 20 year old MR2 and think they are king shit.

I hate cavaliers and sunfires with body kits and exhaust from walmart.

I hate when wannabe gangsters put chrome rims on an SUV that is a piece of shit.

I hate BMW's.

The same ones that are ruining this fun thread. We just want to rant people, it's not a agree/disagree thing, its just a rant.

You can't post on a public forum and not have people give their opinions....

That's like having a racist freely rant about what's his mind without having any backlash.

Fav so far is the Stance Nation "Fresh As F*ck" license plate frame. Comes with a flat-billed hat.

One of the popular FR-Ss here started out stancing/modding the same year Corolla. You can find a group of enthusiasts for any model car.

So a white BMW being driven by a douchebrodog in a white polo with white framed sunglasses would really send you over the edge, huh?

I should have taken a picture of him, but it happened too fast.

The VW camp is famous for this. Stupidest thing I've ever seen. I can understand running a reverse stagger (front wider than rear) on a fwd car. Sure. But sticking your wider wheel on your non-power end is dumb as fuck. Basically tells everybody how much of a tool you are. Rwd wannabe lol.

[calmtigers]

I hate people who start threads about stance being annoying, keep it in your pants guys.

No one ever said a Corvette interior was too nice.

I think that a lot of us realize that the money went to different things than interior quality or gadgets. It went toward as great chassis, suspension, LSD, etc. You can have it all... but it costs money.

And I haven't owned a sporty, sub $30k car that didn't have some sort of rattle. My Subarus, VWs, MINIs, etc. Everything that I've owned over $30k without a sport bent has been rattle free (4Runner, Rav4, Prius v 5).
