I've often wanted to do up my Civic with dingle balls and stupid lights like
those Ricer's do, just to show the absurdity of it all.  I think I wrote up
a list somewhere of dumb things to add to it.

The joke aspect of it is that had I done it 15 years ago to the car when it
was new and looked great, it would look silly as all hell on it now that
it's gone around the block a few times.  I can't see any of today's rice
rockets lasting that long, what with all the extra holes drilled in them for
mounting things, plus they way they get driven.

Like 20 year old woman today with all those shoulder tats and stuff, looks
cool now, but when she's 65 and tits sag to the ankles, will look mighty
silly.

Aside from being a dumb, these pumped up Cavaliers are a waste of cash,
because in 2 years, the body styles will look VERY dated, and the punk's
gotta buy a NEW car and start over again, and good luck getting a decent
price for the old one.

The glut of tricked out Cavaliers in 2 to 3 years will be tremendous.  Like
a pile of Chumbawamba 'Tub-Thumping" CD's as the use disc store.
