    spinners

    ok, so i just saw the funniest thing today. i was coming home from work and was stopped at a light. i saw this p.o.s. car going the other direction with, wait for it, plastic wheel cap spinners. please let me say that again. this car had PLASTIC WHEEL CAP SPINNERS! i was laughing so hard my eyes were watering. and even worse, the wiener driving thought he was cool! what a jack ass. i've seen them at auto zone but never thought any body was stupid enough to buy them.

    Were they the iron cross spinners? I always thought the real dub spinners were stupid, but I just about died when I saw the plastic fanblade hubcaps. I think it was a Plymouth Horizon - one of those vibrator mobiles.

    Man.. Last night on I-15 I saw a 1988 ford escort hatch, it had 13" "deep dish" rim with what looked to be Home made spinners.. not to mention it had a wing on the roof with a skull taped to it and a fin on the back of the hatch part.

    LOL funny...
    My dad told me he saw a car with spinners on them that were broken. So the spinning part didn't spin but it was free from the wheel so it looks like the wheels aren't spinning when the car is moving! haha, that must have been trippy.

    I've seen a bunch of those plastic spinners up here too..

    i live in tjuana mexico. but work in the u.s. and let me tell you guy's i believe here is were i have seen the most ridiculas rides known to man.
    i mean i have seen these plastic spiners on everything from cars,trucks, and yes people even motorcycles. i have also seen alot poeple here doing the double tail thing. that's were you have one tail on top of another tail. it seems to be that the tallest tail here wins. go figure. another hot item here seems to be the pipe tip thing. they seem to get bigger and bigger in diameter. god damm things are the size of the ones they use on busses. and nosie as hell. i just laugh at them. they think becasuse it makes alot of noise that it's fast. i think they are very suprised when i blow them away with my bone stock 1991 maxima that i have that is super quiet. i think i will start carrying my camera around. to take a few pics. so that you guy's can laugh you asses off.

    p.s. i am also the proud new owner of a 2003 corolla S. awesome gas millage compared to my 1990 accord that i still have:)
