The spray-painted, plastic 12v bathroom fan masquerading as a supercharger was pretty funny. Taking the mark for nearly $180 cash was hysterical.
Finally, during my morning jog, I actually saw an H2 Hummer with a lift kit and huge monster-truck type wheels/tires. Is insanity that common?
I suspect that the 'my badass ride is bigger than yours' fad won't go away anytime soon. What's next: 1000-cube twin-turbo diesel semi tractors with undercarriage neon lighting? Maybe a sprayed & blown LPG 60-passenger city bus with garish murals and 40-speaker boom box? Nah hell, maybe ghetto rats will just for the gold: a vintage Sherman tank fitted with a durable rubberized cast-iron 'racing' track that will not only withstand sustained mortar fire, but achieve excellent traction during stoplight-skirmishes and lawn jobs. Fit that sucker with a 5000-watt boom box and bottom-fired woofers, and you'll be able to pound the ground with style.
Soon to come: new vehicle window stickers will list mileage in 'gallons per mile'.
