What is the absolute stupidest, newb, non-car workin-on chump jackass move you have ever seen? It's hard I know, there are so many but pick some sweet ones.For me, I lean towards posers, I don't mind people expressing themselves but when they front like they have something they don't I want to embarrass them. One guy I have seen recently epitomizes what I am talking about. He has an S14 Silvia.
It has $1000.00 worth of body kit on it, it's unpainted, has been for six months.
It has a huge GT wing on the back, it is dog-*** slow, incapable of inducing any downforce as a result and he put it on way crooked.
It has huge steamroller rims, there are little dinky non-turbo brakes peeking out and with stock suspension it sits as high as a Mack truck.
It has a shift lite monster tach, it's an automatic and probably couldn't rev past 5000 because it needs a tuneup somethin feirce.
It has a fake intercooler, yes stamped sheetmetal in the shape of an intercooler with highly visable rivets holding it together.
What is this guy thinking?
the dumbest chumptuning trick

Oh man. I have to see this car. Where does he usually hang out? Around Kadena?
I will be looking for it.
The fake-ter-cooler!
Was something not good enough about the chicken wire most people use to fill large gaps where intercoolers would go if they had one??

To put it more generally, I don't understand why people insist on making their car look like, or acting like, their car is faster than it is...if anything you should try to make it look slower, or pretend like its slower than it is.
this worst thing i've seen is this guy that i work with at wal-mart(yeah i know it's sad, but i need the money), anyways, he drives an old 2 door accord (90, or 91, you know the stlye), first off i'm pretty sure it's his parents, second he has a one of those huge exhausts that make the car seem like it's farting when he drives it, but the worst part is that i was talking with him and he said that since he couldn't afford neon under lights that he was going to wire christmas lights to the bottom of his car, it was easily the stupidest thing i've ever heard, if you live in the richmond hill area of toronto you may soon see this car

Christmas lights, mm,mmm, Bwahahahaha! That is too damned funny. Hey at least it's keeping with the season! How did he plan on explaining the blinking multicolor display? Just to mess with him take one bulb out and replace it with a burnt out one. It's a ***** trying to find a burnt bulb in a string on the living room floor much less under a car!

I have never seen him out there but I don't go out there much these days. He's up here on Hansen, you have probably seen him. It's a burgandy S14 with white bumper and sideskirts and that huge wing and fake-tercooler. Ever seen a guy paint his AC condenser silver to make it look like an intercooler? Seen that a couple of times. Remember that goof in the black automatic Skyline with the gator-pipe who, hey wait a minute, never mind. I beat Vance with that bucket, I thought he was going to slit his wrists, HAHA $20,000.00 vs $2,000.00!
