The moral of the sarcasm in my post was to NOT poke fun at some stereotype. There are a few different kinds of people here with different ideas, traditions, etc., etc.
Some here just like to sling mud at stereotypes. I see no reason for it, but each one will do as he/she wants. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I'm not slinging mud at sterotypes, I'm slinging mud at wasting money. There's a big difference between a Civic that has some quality performance parts put on it, and is a mean performer on the track, and a Civic with a two foot tall stainless steel wing that weighs a hundred pounds, and detracts from performance, or putting vinyl stickers of high performance racing parts on your car, while not actually USING those parts anywhere on it.
It's the car equivalent of mall ninja, and whether you think it's a stupid sterotype or not, I think it's just stupid. Just like I think it's stupid to spend 200 bucks on that dork ops crap. It's a free country, and I'm just as free to think people are wasting their money as they are to waste it.
It's no different than the kids when I was in high school, who would buy a beat up old Nova and put "summit racing" stickers and a fake plastic hood scoop on their cars because they thought it made them look cool. At least back then the goofy useless accessories were cheap.
