In the V-8 Supertaxi series they have a series of light on the front windscreen to show whether its the main driver or co-driver, and if the cars are on soft or hard tyres, saw a young bloke in a VS Commodore on the eastern freeway in Melbourne with a row of lights down the front of the windscreen, what posseses people to do this type of thing?, [most likely a his & hers package deal from Autocrap], his girlfreind most likely has eyelashes on her Lancer, Colin.

I agree Colin, the ones that give me the heebees are the blue flouro lights under the cars at the back and front which light up the the road? like what purpose do these lights serve and then they put the brakes on and the disco multiple flashing side show happens in addition to the brake lights? whats this all about and why have so many doofs become enamid with these freeking lights? Theres even flashing blue lights that flash in "tune" with the doof doof music.

Alas is the car suppose to be a road weapon of choice whether its for pleassure or pure conveyance (toyota camery owners note the pure conveyance) or a doof doof freeking edefice.

Now about those guys who drive "soft top" jeeps and persist in putting a false row of five or six flood lights across the front of the roof so the car looks like a hair dressers version of a mean four wheel drive...........don't start me on this one.

And the other night I saw the latest silly flouro light acessary. A mitsubishi EVO with the full body kit turned the corner and it had blue flouro lights running the length (along the crease line between the body kit and the body) of the body kit.

What the?? it looked hideous. A supreme conveyance with disco lights along the line of the body kit, what does this add to the whole package?

Well, I would not have posted anything but this morning I was searching for some replacement bonnet pins for my Alfa and decided to stupidly look in e-bay and found these and thought "ripper, will buy these" but the pictures didn't look right.  No drilling and STICK ON!!!??  Interestingly, listing says one sold already.

How stupid can accessories get, similar to the Brembo caliper covers I guess.

If you had a forward opening bonnet, you could use these to stooge the scrutineer into thinking your car had proper bonnet pins, and how about stick on fire extinguishers, Colin.

Do you reckon they would flash along with the Ramones, they live up to the advertising hype of making your car stand out from the crowd, whats that old Alfa Romeo drivers statement again?, turn down the music, cause i can't hear the engine, there was a 156 V-6 on ebay about 1 year ago with all these doof-doof accesories, and it looked quite good, and it was a runner, and at $5,000, he couldn't shift it, Colin.

Another stupid car accessories, for christmas, stick on reindeer antlers, they stick to your side window to give your car the reindeer look, seriously the other day i thought it was a new type of reindeer just invented, with headlights and 4 wheels, i have a compulsion to jump out at the traffic lights and break them off, as if we need more landfill, all sorts of family cars seem to have them along with my family stickers on the back window, if i see any Alfa Romeo's in Melbourne with them, i will chase you down, and break them off,....you have been warned, Colin.

I love pulling up beside the 'My Family' cars and seeing the outline of the male member having been removed, hmmm. I've given my young 'P' plate nephew a tally count decal for the side of his work truck/ute with a running tally for cars, bikes, cats, pedestrians etc... the hooligan in him loved it :)
