I get pretty irritated with the rice drivers as well, and some of the things that these people do to their formally-decent cars are absolutley ridiculous. But in the end, you have to say to each his own. There are hundreds of things you can make fun of though, and I find this entertaining. Like the decals with colorful slogans such as "WICKED RYDAH" or "THUG PIMPIN'" or "I LIKE SOUP" are plastered to the front windshield. A sticker that spells out the vehicle manufacturer's name in 140-point white font is adhered to the back window so everybody else in the world knows that the Toyota being driven is, in fact, a Toyota. I don't understand the coffee can exhaust pipe phenomena...People these days seem to equate loud exhaust with horsepower.
I have never seen a Contour riced out, but I have seen a Mistique driving around here with one of those Boeing 747 wings on the back, and let me tell you, the wing gives the impression that the car is twice the length that is really is, therefore making it ugly as hell. I can't sympathise with your stereo complaints however, because I am about to put a system in my 'tour, and it will be loud as hell..
