Default Why all the imports?!?!

Well as it says to the left, I live in Lakeland. Me n my girl go to Taco Bell tonight to get some food and in the Best Buy parking lot there is a pack of neon lights and flashing bulbs!! Why???!! Why do they get in packs and sit there and put on all their lights! They don't have nice cars! They're riced out imports!! There should be no pride placed in a car that looks like that and sounds like that!! Do they not relize how ridiculous they look???! And the real funny part is, my girl loves to crack on em!

I'm not saying my car is perfect, it's a $2,000 Mustang that has a history of getting beat on and mistreated by previous owners. But atleast it sounds good and runs strong and DOESN'T look like that! I just don't understand. There needs to be more domestics around here.

I do agree, that neons are pointless, and because they gather in large groups to show off who has the brightest green and purple lights.. does show a sign of them coming out of the closet. But I have NO problem with imports... There are some nice imports out there that dont rice themselves out, that whoop A LOT of domestic ass.... so as long as you aren't blinging the 22 inch rims, altezzas, and nasty neons, and then dont try to tell me you have the fastest car around.. your a-ok in my book.

I do agree with you. I don't have a problem with all imports but I just can't stand the look and sound of most of them. They just throw a fart pipe on and think they are the shit, when all they do is sound like shit. And usually when I say imports, I mean the riced out Hondas, Acuras and what not. I do LOVE some imports like BMW's, Audi's and Mercedes, but for conversation purposes, I use the word import on cars I can't stand.

It's like a whole look too, the majority of rice drivers I've seen are white males with visors, why the half-a-hats?!?!??! I don't freakin get it lol Alright I'm done for now.

God knows, all imports and import owners are like that.

Don't worry, you only drive car #2,439 that is slower than I am. And please don't tell me that a stock Mustang with 2.73's is a 13 second car. Been there, done that.

Yes MOST imports I've seen that look that god damn silly have a very similar following. If you've read the previous posts on this thread you would see that there is nothing spoken of what's faster. I said that they are look ridiculous and sound god damn annoying. And as of right now my car is NOT a 13 sec car but it will be before I swap out the shitty 2.73's.
