Automotive "terms" and fads that make you cringe

They'll screw up space as well.

Oh absolutely. We've got so much trash up there already. Imagine what it's going to be like when there's thousands (or more) of people littering.

Truthfully in the end it's the owner's decision to make a vehicle how they want it to look. However what REALLY gets me is seeing these "bro'd" out trucks come through my work for emissions tests. Literally 80%+ are driving on bald tires, numerous oil leaks, brakes griding, 15k overdue on oil change, etc, etc. Basically a rolling safety hazard. But they make damn sure that their wheels have the most offset, or their lift is the most flashy, exhaust tip is the most obnoxious, or they have more lightbars than their other bro...

Double bro points when it's their welding rigs with the same problem. It's literally your mode of income yet you spent your brake/u-joint/maintenance money on more LED's than a big rig.

Maybe its just me, but Loveland/ft Collins is getting bad! Seems like everything has a lightbar or two over there..of course they run them day or night which is awesome..

Saw a lifted 6.0 broken down at the Berthoud exit with dual light bars stacked on top of each other on the roof. Bleh....

Although I can't say much as I installed two lightbars on my Cadillac More of a joke than to look cool :rofl:

Thats pretty much how all NoCo is getting to be. I had one guy coming at me one night with his light bar on so i hit my highs and i have the all lights on mod and he promptly turned it off till we passed:thumb::thumb::thumb:

The same things goin on here in Arkansas... Everyone has light bars on everything round here!! Lol

-Nawz. Hate it, just say juice / spray / squeeze / throttle in a bottle. Anything but nawz.

This above all else.

Also "breaks" instead of "brakes"

Most of you fellows may be too young to remember guys bragging about having a 3/4 cam or a full race cam in their gas burners. I usually walked away on those, but sometimes I would ask for an explanation on those two terms, which usually was 5 minutes of useless bs.

nope, used to hear it all the time many years ago. I also used to ask them what it meant, most of them didn't even know any specs at all about their "3/4" or "full" race cam, which almost always idled like a stocker

I saw a Jeep (Just Empty Every Pocket) the other day with an LED light bar on top of the windshield and then 4 smaller LED's on the windshield A pillars (2 stacked on top of each other on either side). Why do you need 857 lights on a Jeep or anything else for that matter?

Guy at my work calls duramax's maxi pads. If you seen his cummins you would understand.

Had a guy tell me his dmax was stolen and after the chase was over they pulled the "black box" and it recorded speeds of 186mph. I just laughed and those MTs you're rolling on would have exploded well well before that speed was reached. I then explained because of gearing and rpm limitations there was no possible way for a stock dmax to achieve that speed. He still swore up and down. I really lost a few thousand brain cells listening to him.

Haha, better send this guy to McRat... I'm sure Pat would love to know what was done to that truck to hit that speed:spit:
