Worst automotive trend? (windshield, sedan, SUVs, pickup trucks)

[Drover]

Yeah, those blinking headlight/alternating headlights are supposed to make the motorcycle "stand out" more so other motorists are more aware of them. Instead they either a) mesmerize/hypontize or b) confuse the hell out of other motorists.

Those are annoying as heck, even though it does make them more visible. Whats even more annoying are the new LED flashing lights the IDOT salt trucks use. Get behind one of those suckers and youre liable to go blind. Its a major distraction and when they brake or put their turn signals on, you cant see them over the BRIGHT strobe yellow LED lights.

I'm a bit offended I have a 4-door sedan. There are plenty of 4-door cars that are appealing with large wheels. When I do purchase my truck it will have nothing less than a 24" or 26" wheel package. You old timers have to adapt with the new trends.

I didn't see the "all the above" option to chose.

Not an aftermarket trend like all these were, but one design trend that I loathe is the current one of making it look like Chris Bangle designed everything at every company.

DVD players in cars. What's next, microwaves?

maybe it is the redneck in me but why on earth would you lower a dualie so that it is just barely has any ground clearence!!!!!!!!! Get a 4x2 if you want to render a truck useless.

If you enjoy em, more power to you! We all have our own tastes, but big wheels detract handling/acceleration/braking/gas mileage, as well as throw the speedo off. Youd be better off with some 18" wheels. Id like to see that car with smaller, black wheels with a red pinstripe around the rim of the lip to pick up some color. And if youre concerned about gap, get some springs. Big wheels are for those who care nothing about handling and only want the bling-bling-look-at-me-look-at-me factor. But for those who are looking to extract every inch of performance from a car, throwing a set of "big uglies" (as I like to call em) on a car is a sin.

Ooooh, that reminded me of another lame trend. Remember the "tire-flys"? Those were the stupid LED lighted valve stem caps that blinked/shone on every tire rotation? Im so glad that retarded trend went down the crapper fast. Ugh.
