Funny wings

So yesterday I saw one of the funniest things ever. A Toyota Prius with a huge spoiler wing. Just thought it looked hilarious. Wish I could have gotten a pic but the cell is hard to get to with my gloves on. I just find it funny people spend money on such a silly upgrade.

lord knows you need that extra downforce once your hybrid passes the 150mph mark. I've never understood why people blow so much money on those towel racks...or the fart can exhausts on mid 90s honda accords. lame.

There's a long standing tradition in this country of making the car you drive as tacky as you can, even the makers helped out. Does anyone remember wide racing stripes on six banger Mavericks, vinyl tops on T-Birds and other boats, opera windows, or 'GT' designations on four-doors?

Spoiler wing on a Prius...well, there goes the resale value.

just watched fast and the furious the other, I think its funny that they poke a few shots at the motorcycles, like "you are going to need more than the bike at speed week" or something along those lines, and its funny cause the motorcycles would stomp on most of the cars they had.

Oh and that Prius had some blinging wheels... that the owner was leasing... probably leasing. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

The Aquabats have an awesome song dealing with this and put the ridiculousness in perspective. Lyrics as follows:

Yo I'm a freak. I'm so unique.
I'm rockin' dubs on my Honda Civic.
My woofers woof, my tweeters tweet.
I've got a different ride for every day of the week.

So where my ladies at?
Well come on babies lets go for a ride.
Cause we got stupid cash, we're gonna throw it out the window tonight.
So check it out...What exactly are we checking out?
We're just cruisin' around, checking out each other,
checkin' each other out.
This car I drive in ,
this vehicle that I ride in;
so hard, so stylin',
Makin' all the ladies we pass start cryin'.
Yo, yo do you want, to take a ride?
Lets go baby!
No, she doesn't wanna take a ride.
You gotta check out this ride!
Yo, check out this ride.

I'm wicked sweet,
I'm rollin' deep
More LCDs than I got seats.
My Kia's smooth, I've been approved.
This credit card will put you in the mood.

I bought a '91 Celica and lowered the back.
I dropped some deuce with some juice on the front of my gat.
And I ain't braggin', my back end's draggin'.
I got this fresh whale tail on my lowered covered wagon.
You peeps is gettin' panic attacks
When I roll through Iraq with a sack of phat stacks
And an airbrush of Shaq on my Cizzadalac,
And you know its hard.
I got a haunted house black light under my car.
And I'm freaking people out dawg, woo!

Boom Diggity!!!


check it out!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfRkxd10LYk

Thats great. Buy a Prius to save the world, and then proceed to increase it's drag and reduce it's mileage. People are clueless.

I've noticed that Prius's evidently don't come with turn signals as standard equipment. Either that or their drivers are so wrapped up in watching the fuel mileage readout that they forget to signal their lane changes and turns.

On the spoilers, a few years ago CAR AND DRIVER had a reader photo of a car, I forget what make, with a rear spoiler made out of 2 X 4s.
