Is This Legal!? Options

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.

I'm surprised that this thread hasn't been shut down...not to mention any names, but if it were anyone else participating in this flame-war, this thread would have been locked a week ago...

But to OP, nvm what people say 'bout your car. Like what others have said, everyone is entitled to their own style. What separates true "ricers" and enthusiasts is the amount of care/effort they put into modding their cars. Ricers half-ass their mods and end up making their cars look "cheap". But anyone who puts in their own time/effort to make ANY mod (no matter how ridiculous it may seem), is an enthusiast in my book.
