#1092 of 1094 Re: It's about the ACCESSORIES!! by karsick May 30, 2008 (5:47 pm)
Replying to: sixfive (May 29, 2008 5:11 am) Most cars are acceptable, but to me it's the add-on choices that speak VOLUMES about the owner/driver.   For instance, most plain-jane pickups project a positive image (no-nonsense, hard-working, sensible), but when tarted up with silly jacked-up pavement-queen bits (or slammed on hydraulics & Dayton wires), they are embarrassing beyond belief.   Honda Civics are nice, efficient transport, but when "tuned" by a pimply, hormone-enraged F&F fanboy, they become a buzzy, annoying tribute to bad taste & lousy driving.   I find most Tahoes & Yukons inoffensive, but if they're sportin' "dubs", limo-tint & necklaces hanging from the interior mirror, the IQ of the driver is magically lower than their shoe size, and you can count on them having the stereo cranked WAY up & the windows half-down so that we can hear there mindless FM-radio crap.
#1093 of 1094 Wouldn't be caught dead in..unless I was really dying! by 08blackrt Jul 01, 2008 (4:31 pm)
Chickmobiles! My ex-GF had a VW Cabriolet, and I was totally humiliated driving it, or even being seen in it! She claimed to have never heard the term "Chickmobile" until I said it when I made the first comments about it. She currently has a Mini, another chickmobile, IMO.   Any tiny cars. Just for comfort's sake, and most of them are truly stupid looking on top of it. I have size 14 feet, and a lot of cars are torture for me to even be in for a short period. I use my feet as the first hurdle a vehicle has to pass when I consider buying one. A lot of them just aren't right for someone with big feet! I don't like my knees up against the dash either..   Small Pickups. All the problems of the tiny cars, with less gas milage, and a worse ride.   Any car or truck with huge wheels. A friend recently bought a Ford F150 at a great price, with 22 or 24" wheels on it. It looked ridiculous! He put the wheels on Ebay, and got a ton of money for them. He bought some sanely sized wheels and tires for it, and still had $600 left! 20" wheels are as big as I would ever want to go, on a car or truck. Giant wheels slow the vehicle down, are fragile, and ride bad too. They look even worse..

Anyone notice a gender tendancy behind the Eos wheel? It seems to fit in nicely where the Cabrio left off, and the waning beetle of course.
