Is This Legal!? Options

[Spitrod]

Okay. It's late. 2:30 am..

I just went to the gas station for a pack of smokes. When I was getting
out of my car, I hear what sounded like an import pulling into the parking
lot.

I look and see this local hillbilly dude in his Ford Contour. He threw on some
performance, honda-esque muffler, took the hubcaps off his wheels, sprayed
them black, and put some racing stickers in his rear windows.

I'm anything but a "car bully"...but are these people for real? I would feel
like the biggest ass driving around in a fraudulent "street racer"...

The only thing he was missing was the cardboard body kit.

I seriously laughed out loud in the parking lot. It's insulting to those of us
who spend every day under our hoods and in our cars.

and what exactly are the hood pins for?

actually hood pins are important but most people get them for looks

they can be usefull with carbon fiber hoods where the latch area can become weak, if it becomes weak the hood flies open or if in a front end crash a carbon fiber hood doesnt crumple like a normal alum. hood does....imagine getting your head cut off by your hood.


hood pins help keep the hood in place.
