Things I don't wanna see on a car

Post by FRUNKenstein » Mon Dec 17, 2018 7:55 am

OK, for this thread, list the stuff you HATE seeing added to a car, any car. Think Walmart parking lot kinda stuff.

I'll start. Seatcovers. Ugh. Everytime I see a set of seatcovers, I think "what the hell is under those things that make the seatcovers an improvement?" At best, they preserve the underlying seats in pristine condition. But, what the hell, you can't spring for a $500 re-upholster once every 10 years, so you have to live with a crappy seat cover that you probably paid at least $50 for anyway? At worst, the underlying carnage is so bad that the offending seat should be removed and incinerated.

When the ricers get a hold of a nice Porsche this is what happens. The worst is the rear wing. Ugh!

Bad replica kits and the owners that convince themselves it's the spittin' image of the original.
