The truck "balls" thing annoys me the most. I remember first seeing this a couple years ago thinking it would die off shortly. It hasn't.

that RX-7 is terrible!

I also don't understand the whole slammed look, yeah virgin wheel gap looks cool, but even then most people don't even consider the factory suspension geometry. Negative camber is cool too.... if you like a car that rides like shit. I have yet to meet someone with a slammed Honda who has drop spindles.

Sadly, these days people lower their car for the looks, mostly. I'm not against lowering cars but a lot of people don't realize that their car bottoming out on every other turn isn't good....

Like a swarm of drugged bees being shot out of the ass of an elephant is right...that RX-7 sounded horrible.

I can't stop laughing.

I hate truck testicles... they're annoying and tacky.

There's a dude in Virginia who is trying/tried to get them outlawed:

What's messed up is someone actually thinks all that looks great.

BOVs don't belong on that list. Not only do they sound amazing, but they also reduce compressor surge.

I'm not going to lie, if I had a huge lifted rednecked-out truck, I'd probably have the truck balls to go with it

Pretty good stuff.

And as long as there are rednecks, there will be truck balls.

And what's with them calling the Civic a Tercel? I know it looks like a spaceship that Marvin the Martian would drive, but isn't it obvious what it really is?
