July 11, 200619 yr Name a car and an item that don't go together..... but *NOT* something that is routinely part of the car or a particular car design <glares at 68>. For example. An Aveo with a radar detector. A corvette with a box of magnum XLs Edited July 11, 200619 yr by Oldsmoboi

An Aveo with a radar detector. 165105[/snapback] Seen it... Well, actually it was a Pontiac Wave... sad no? GMC Sierra 2500 w/ Duramax & Latte
July 11, 200619 yr I'll relegate this to inappropriate things I've actually seen. 400lb man in a Miata. Exterior bicycle rack on an F-150. Tercel with a spoiler. Camper top on an Avalanche and a Sport Trac.
July 11, 200619 yr carraige roof on a 90s monte carlo poorly done flat black paint job on an older acura legend a 2000-2005 monte carlo on 26s
July 11, 200619 yr a camper top on an Avalanche and Sport Trac, how? 165120[/snapback] I guess they're called 'shells,' but yes. Makes me wonder why you wouldn't just buy and Explorer/Suburban instead.
July 11, 200619 yr I've given a new name to any car that has gained 2ft of ground clearance due to 20" + wheels. Stump Jumpers because the car looks like it has 4WD and is about to go and jump stumps.....
July 11, 200619 yr Ahh, I gotcha now fly, at first I thought you were talking about an ACTUAL camper top on the truck, not just a shell.
July 11, 200619 yr I guess they're called 'shells,' but yes. Makes me wonder why you wouldn't just buy and Explorer/Suburban instead. 165130[/snapback] On the same page, one of those actual slide in campers would be darn near impossible to fit in either one of those anyway. Edited July 11, 200619 yr by MyerShift
July 11, 200619 yr Glad I wasn't alone there, because I thought they were actually talking about the slide-in campers that fit in the truck beds.
July 11, 200619 yr A hood scoop on a Camry, an Accord, a Ridgeline, a Pilot, and an Echo. 20" spinners on a Sienna and Odyssey "350 Rocket V8" stickers on a Civic carriage roof on a Corolla
July 11, 200619 yr Author ya guys.... stuff that isn't inherantly car related or a stylistic accesory... like a... child seat in a Lambo a green peace bumper sticker on a hummer an oxygen supply tank in a Fiero
July 11, 200619 yr "350 Rocket V8" stickers on a Civic 165146[/snapback] I...pray to Jesus... that that wasn't something you saw.
July 11, 200619 yr I...pray to Jesus... that that wasn't something you saw. 165165[/snapback] Sadly, I did see it-on the Capital Beltway one day driving home from my parents' office. I don't think that I've ever been so angry at anyone before...
July 11, 200619 yr carraige roof on a 90s monte carlo Ohhhh...yes ... nailed that one, 04. Heh...here in town, I see a 2000-2005 model with a carriage roof ... just looks so wrong. The body and rooflines to give a "natural" spot for the roof to being and end.....

July 11, 200619 yr Oh Jeez. I was following a pickup truck down the highway with a set of those under it. We were going about 60-65, but the air currents were making them swing ever-so-gently. I followed that damn truck for miles. Almost missed my exit. :AH-HA_wink:
July 11, 200619 yr DOHC badges on a Chevy Malibu V6. A "My other ride is your mom" sticker on a VW Cabrio or equally gay car.

July 11, 200619 yr In a perfect world: American Car + FWD :wink: Luxury cars + B-pillar V8s + Transverse Mounted OK, if none of you saw those coming, you need to get on here more Muscle Cars + fake hood scoops/brake cooling ducts<insert cheap shot at the Mustang here> Classic 1950s/1960s cars + body color paint on top of the chorme! 165383[/snapback] I agree with you big time on that one. Especially cars like the tri-fives, the Impala, Camaro and Corvette. All those cars have their chrome tastefully applied from the factory. Painting the chrome is the last thing I'd do with those cars, but they seem to be the most popular candidates for such a customization.
July 11, 200619 yr Uh... does the white "Friend of Fast" sticker on a reverse light on my Millenia count?
July 11, 200619 yr 1997 Chevrolet Lumina with sparkle purple paint job with flames and hood scoops. Driver looks to be a biker hard-ass with a mullet.
July 11, 200619 yr Saw a last-gen Avalon in metallic olive green with a beige fake convertible top, gold package, and a tacky wing. Everything else stock. Driven by a geezer.
July 11, 200619 yr Alright... this probably won't seem like it'll fit... but... a Buick Century driven by an old geezer. Now... the thing is... I was going about 90 and he flew by me...
July 11, 200619 yr A hood scoop on a Camry, an Accord, a Ridgeline, a Pilot, and an Echo. 20" spinners on a Sienna and Odyssey "350 Rocket V8" stickers on a Civic carriage roof on a Corolla 165146[/snapback] A '69 Mustang Mach 1 hood scoop and rear wing on a Chrysler 300M. A Honda 'H' and 'Type R' badges on a worn-out '80s Camaro IROC-Z. A 'W04' Bush sticker on a Prius.
July 12, 200619 yr OK, if none of you saw those coming, you need to get on here more *chuckles* Ssssooo very true ... classic Sixty8, right there .
July 12, 200619 yr 22 inch wheels on a B-body. The same wheels on a SUV. An import with an american flag. New cars with vinyl roofs.
July 12, 200619 yr I have seen I biker looking guy driving a Corolla. I have also seen a tuned up Honda Civic hatchback like a 97 and we were behind it at the traffic lights and we read the badges. He had Escalade badges on a Civic that wasnt painted so all of the parts were different body colours. My dumbass sister also decided to put HEMI badges on our 2004 Tahoe.
July 12, 200619 yr Ssssooo very true ... classic Sixty8, right there . 165628[/snapback] Are you guys trying to say I'm predictable? I'll have you know I just signed the lease on THIS awsome T!GH+ W#1P this morning. I'm having a roll cage welded in though becasue I don't think the factory B-pillars offer nearly enough side impact protection. What if I'm eating my BigMac while I'm talking on a cell phone and I drop my sunglasses while also trying to find a good song on the radio & I run a red light when a Excursion is doing 70 mph in a 45 and t-bones my little Prius? I'm all about those thick, big B-pillars & 1700lbs. of batteries stuffed into the floor. Okay, all joking aside I'd love to own a Civic with a Rocket 350 stuffed into it and all the emissions crap deleted, hooked up to 4-on-the-floor that's bolted to a solid rear & 14" wide Hoosiers.
July 12, 200619 yr Author Okay, all joking aside I'd love to own a Civic with a Rocket 350 stuffed into it and all the emissions crap deleted, hooked up to 4-on-the-floor that's bolted to a solid rear & 14" wide Hoosiers. 165757[/snapback] and do what exactly, hit the gas and that engine will rip itself out through the front end of the car taking the 4-speed with it.
July 12, 200619 yr And our boy Sixty4 would love it, even after all that work putting it together. 165945[/snapback] So very true... Although you know it's been done a hundred times, aluminum engine cradle, tube chassis &/or subframe(s). Now that's using racing technology on the street! There's plenty of unibody $h!box Corollas/Hondas/J-bodys/Chevettes that have had V8s stuffed in (even BBCs) and RWD conversions where appropriate.
July 14, 200619 yr I've got one I've been seeing for a few years now on several local cars in the area. A Camry (usually an almost new one) with a NASCAR sticker on the rear bumper/window.
