There are plenty of ricey things on those two hondas to make fun of like purple paint and red wheels, but the racks. . . have a use.

That is just the plastic flash that they didn't trim off of their Snap-Tite kit.

Since I can't see the picture, maybe it's to carry their Honda mower in for repairs.

I saw a Porsche with a Yakima rack on it's roof a few weeks ago.

Uuugh If you can afford a Porsche, you can afford a different car to haul your Cannondale.

Didn't help that as soon as I pulled up behind him, he starts swerving back and forth in the lane and revving his little turbo to the moon. No, I wasn't tailgating him.

I know his car is faster, but wow. Insecure much? LOL Sorry you paid in excess of sixty grand for a car and still need to show off to a guy in a thirty thousand dollar Chevrolet. I felt like pulling up next to him and asking him if he wanted to borrow a cylinder

Definitely had a turbo, and he eventually passed a line of 3 cars ahead of him (in a 40 mph zone, with traffic moving at about 50 mph)

Ugh. Money can't buy good sense I guess.

I mostly see those on VW's but I guess the ricers want to play too.

Now what I dont understand are when they hang little stuffed animals on the back of the car...I see it with both ricers and euros.

I'm really sitting back and appreciating the purple/pink Krylon finish that was obviously so thoughtfully applied to the car. Perhaps I'll do that to my Camaro. Or, perhaps not. I'd put something on the roof too, in hopes that it would distract people from staring at my horrific paint. That's just heinous.
