Here in Tampa, I see some odd sights on my morning commute down Hillsborough ave. You see everything from those bling bling rims on a rusted out early 80's Buick Regal which always begs me to ask - "if you had that money, why didn't you take care of the rust?", the 1986 Acura Legend that was rebadged as a Skyline GT-R V-Spec. Back when I had my first car, an 89 Acura Integra, I always wanted to get a Type B sticker for it. Because it was the Integra Type B. What bugs me is ricers who spend money on mods when the car is a total piece of crap. If the car is dented up, the paint is flaking, and the tint is now purple, a new set of rims are not going to make it look any better. If you have the money for new rims, you have money for a better car. Though, that's just me. Though, I think that only the Zetec ATX tours are allowed to have Type R stickers, after all they were the Ford Contour Type Rental. I don't remember ever seeing any MTX or terribly many duratecs in the Hertz rental fleets.
