LOL! That picture is awesome. I wonder if she ever thought of weight redution, shes a little heavy up front..... The car that is

 

~Bra's (formerly guilty due to a split nose cone on the Bird)
~Dirty black cars

~a $4 bolt on autozone downtip over the rusty, broken exhaust pipe, broke right where it goes into the muffler. That's right folks, it faces sideways and backwards right under the tank. (guilty, but too broke to fix right now!)

~Dirty cars period
~That chrome stirrping that is like, 6 inches wide that runs down ~the whole lower half of the car
~chrome wheel lips and door stripping
~cheap tint
~craptastic wal mart seat covers
~steering wheel covers (formerly guilty)
~90#s worth of crap hanging from the rear view (how can you safely drive and see with that?!)
~big gay spoilers
~American Racing wheels (excluding TTII's and TT D's)
~Prime wheels
~Fat tires out back, tiny ones in front
*especially on V6 cars!

There is much more, but I have to go see if I have class due to inclimate weather.

Oh yeah, I forgot....one more....

~Big, ugly, sticking out like a sore thumb speaker boxes. I am not ragging on systems, but at least make it look like you tried!

wait, one more still...

~Nitrous Bottle Bass Cannons

Ok, I am done.

 

I'd have to dis-agree. TINY ones out front, maybe. Like 265 on the rear and 185 front. But 225/215 front and 265-285 Rear makes a nice looking setup

 

Ok, there are a few exceptions


Bad???

1 year old

Whys that matter?

I dont see why commenting on my age has any bearing on the type of cars I like.

You're not trying to start anything here are you?

 

And how can you forget hubcaps? There are 2 exanples in Kenosha What are these people thinking

Gold tint ...DRIVES ME INSANE...lol when i bought my TA i had my boyfriend drive it home so i could start to take off the gold tint that was all over my poor car....it was even on the windshield..WTF

 

Great quote Nikki! That is pretty damn funny!

 

LOL thanks!!

 

Right....

Thanks for taking an interest in me tho, quite flattering really. Sorry I am taken at the moment, but I will keep you on the back burner.

OH!!!! Sorry man. Earlier I said cars with no Hoods look bad.

Then I said there are a few exceptions, meaning some cars look good. Meaning YOUR CAR LOOKS GOOD!

Sorry bud, I wasn't saying nothing bad about your car, I was saying it looks good

oh wow, If you want fame and to be noticed. And you want people to respect you, I can't see why anyone would want to buy a thirdgen, These things get you respect from fellow owners, fellow former/soon to be owners. And everyone just says, "what kinda car you got, what year? OH... its one of THOSE cars"

Hee hee, Ahh yes, Good times.

Oh thought of another thing that makes ur ride look bad.

A huge Gap between your tire and the wheel well

 

I was only kidding about the hood comment since my 'bird hasn't had one on it for like... 4 or so years now (because of other problems aside from laziness )

 

Ok this I saw on a Nova but I know there is a 3rd Gen with one out there!

A racoon tail hanging from the antenna!

 

One or both exhaust hangers broken. It just looks like crap with the exhaust tips two inches from the ground. This was the case with my 80' bird. Finally one day I hit the right bump and one of the outlet pipes from the muffler hit the ground(the welds at the muffler were already broke),so after driving a couple of blocks I pulled into a neighborhood, broke the remaining weld and left the pipe and mangled tip in someone's front yard

 

And we wonder why people think F-bod owners are rednecks


Jk

 

some like these,some don't,well there mine and i like them just fine,225/60/15 front,245/50/16 rear
:hail:

 

Why do you like larger tires in the front and smaller out back???

oops didnt check the rim size! If theywere both 16" I would say WTF but I get it! Still prefer 16" all around .

 

Lets make everyone sure that you "hate bras on firebirds"

 

Yeah dude, I have never heard that one before, that made my day!

p.s. Girls with a sense of humor rule!

 

No, I mean like 14x4.5's up front with 15x10's on the back, and a sidewall so tall you could fold it in half and still have a full size tire. There is a car (a Berlinetta at that) here in Warrensburg that looks like that. There are rumors of crazy horsepower, but I am sorry, I can't respect anything that looks so out of proportion. Most Berlinettas are pretty fugly anyways.

 

Thanks Kleen!!

 

I am
Missing hood
Five colors of paint
Missing half of interior
One seat total and torn at that
Dash crack right in the damn middle
No center console
No carpet

Absolutely no stickers tho
Hopefully all this will change by summer time

 

peeling paint......guilty (few small spots) saving for a paintjob
mudflaps............guilty (lotsa rain in WA, paint was getting tore up behind rear tires)
cupholder..........guilty (built one into the center console, I needed it)
Now......

Driving convertable with top down but windows up.

Driving during daylight with 'high beams' on
and
Driving miles with blinker on

That's all I can think of at the moment

 

there is a difference between what makes a car look bad and what others just don't like....i agree with some stuff like peeling tint, bras that do more harm then good by scratching paint, decals for things that aren't even owned, etc. but some of the other things are just preference and then some can't be helped. it's a known fact that 75% of thirdgen owners can't financially build their cars the way they would like or just plain don't want to. however there is also that 5% that are just plain nuts and do rediculous things.

i don't like mudflaps like the next person but they do help protect the paint...of course there are better ways around protection without having something that sticks out but some have to do what's necessary. for me if it doesn't serve a purpose that's when it should go....but i can't say much since i've broken just about all of the ideas here.

i have dark tint on a lighter car, 50' of neon, a fiberglass hood with a miniram so clearance obviously isn't an issue, a 4" exhaust for my little 383, wider tires in the rear then the front so that i can lower it, wheels that stick up into the fender wheels when it's parked, speaker and entertainment system that really isn't necessary, paint color that isn't practicle for street driving, not necessarily mud flaps but i do have magnets that are painted the color of the car to protect from chips (they've been in alot of the pictures too, bet you never notice that. ) and the list continues....

lock me up and throw away the key... who's next?

 

does it look like this?

 

Things I don't like:
torn up center console (Trans AM's)
leaky t-tops that damage your seats
wiper arm paint pealing or fading
license plate covers
using coat hangers as antenna

that's the worst I can think of.

 

Completely dirty interiors. I can't stand that. You know when you're driving and a fellow thirdgen driver gives you a thumbs up. Then you look at his car and the headliner is falling and the plastic is gray (use to be black) and just VERY dirty. Whenever I look at someone elses car, they never do anything to make the interior at least decent! Like getting some kind of protectant like Meguires or hell even Armor all. Oh and unvacumed cars too.

 

i have the #5, torn up

 

It's not my fault! It's the previous owner's. I'm not the one who took the entire interior out including the dash and decided to leave out about 30 screws

 

Ohh gah! If you asked my girlfriend my opinion on what looks good/bad on cars she'd just start laughing and ask if you were busy for the next couple hours....

BLACK OUTS ON ANY CAR/COLOR (no offense, but they just FUGLY and **** ME OFF!!)

Bra's on freshly painted/new cars

Interior matching/vividly colored tint (yeah, I have purple tint on my car, but given the color of my car and the fact you have to be 2" from it to notice it's not black, it looks perdy darn good)

Smoke on startup (sorta guilty)

Expensive rim....H Rated tire....

Non-functional scoop hoods

Rims that stick out more than 1 1/2"

GFX Neons

Interior Neons

Fart-Can Neons

Sound systems that make the car rattle soo bad people outside the car can't even tell what kind of music you're listening too

Unnesessary(sp?) bondo (need I say more?)

Stickers on the car for contingency are fine with me, unless you aren't actually using that product...

Did I mention BLACKOUTS?!?!

Yeah, these are my opinions, sorry if ya don't like em! I'd actually finish the list, but I probly shouldn't take up all of TGO's server space...

why does it seem that most 3rd gens are pieces of s*** in new york like people dont even take care of them all rusted and paint peeling they give 3rd gens a bad reputation...I got some pictures of my car that im restorting...front end was wrecked...i cant post them because it says there too big

 

bird ****

 

Hey now, I will admit that had I not bought the car with the AR's on there I probably wouldn't have picked them... but they've grown on me.

 

are you talking about me ??
well how about i send the pictures to you and then you can post them

 

no lol im saying when a birt ****s on your car it makes it look bad

 

lol oh

 

Neons

Rust

Ripped up Interior

Cheap ***** Wheels

Euro Lights

Really big wings

Swirl Marks

Being Domestic R i C e

thats just som things that make a ride bad

just my

 

Did anyone notice in the picture below, the door lock is missing and the car has obviously been broken into....... did you notice the sticker on the window saying "Vehicle protected with a vehicle antitheft system".

hheeehhe

 

sry this is a little off topic but since all my pictures are to big to put on this site i tried to make a cardomain site but i dont know how the f*** to put the pictures on my page i uploaded them and then i dont know how to put them on the pages

 

aparently this is the "Coo" thing to do in FL if you own an import.... but i hate:

unpainted body kits( wait till you can afford teh paint)

parts buying with no purpose( stick on plastic scoops and the such)

buying a front bumper then two rims then a wing...( a guy in my complex has a mirage with a wing, front bodykit, and two rims on his car... which means he either bought the piece of bodykit first then two rims or visa versa)

having a wing on a fwd car( unless its set to lift the rear)

having a wind set with such an angle that it creates drag insted of downforce( ive seen wings set down so far that they were useless)

hubcap spinners.....need i say more

real spinners on a real sh itty car.( if one of ur rims cost 2times the cars worth ur ghey)

edit: did someone say something about spraypainted wheels? if you do it right it looks good. esp. if the rims started out all oxidized and nasty looking

 

are's here too. But they came with the car.

Something i hated when i got my car was the v6 engine under the hood. Not so much the engine but all that space infront of it was ugly as hell.

 

Yes and thank *** vats was there or I wouldnt own a thirdgen anymore. Saved me because they got the column broken into and they couldnt get it started.

hheeehhe.

 

I dont like the fake ram air scoops (usually found on trucks and suv's tho)....real cars drive with real nostrils....just get the hood it'll look so much better

 

Probably my biggest pet-peeves:

1. Missing centercaps
2. Screaming belts
3. Squeeling brakes
4. Brake dust (this is very hard for me to stay on top of, since I am sooooooo hard on brakes, and I have GTA wheels)
5. Punk *** drivers that lean over to the middle of the car while driving. My wife is always yelling at them to SIT UP.

 

. Brake dust (this is very hard for me to stay on top of, since I am sooooooo hard on brakes, and I have GTA wheels)


Dont wanna be off topic, Get some ceramic brake pads. They work very good. (they leave some dust, but much better then reg pads)


Also i have to add one more thing to my list.

Those Glow on Brake and Gas Pedals.

Ive been seein to many of those l8tley
