What do you think of cars and trucks with too much garb? When is enough enough? I was behind a "Trailblazer" of all vehicles and it had a pink Harley Davidson sticker in the middle of the window, A big "tribal" banner across the back window, chrome WalMart flames around the Bowtie, and a Superman decal at each corner. Then I noticed (when we both pulled into the gas station) that the same tribal logo was on the front window!
Maybe about 5-6 pounds of those beads on the rearview mirror.
Hey to each's own, I aint judging, but why so much "stuff"????
What's with people? lol
Feel free to post pics of any funny cars with too much stuff on them.

Oh, I wish I had a pic of the S-10 I used to drive by on the way to work.

Fake port holes, fake side pipes, weird hubcaps, you name it, this guy found it and glued it on...

but, like you said, to each his own. I figure the owner thought all that stuff was cool.

i realy think they do it just to give us something to brighten our day. they're always good for a laugh.

either that or the vehicle's owner has stock in Pep Boys.

I guess what some think is cool others think are trashy.

I've seen people with a ton of bumper stickers in every color, wording, etc....plastered on the rear of the car.

Fake bullet holes....fake golf ball lodged in the spidered glass...nads dangling off the trailer hitch..."fear this/ain't skeered" stick ons in the window...Calvin pissing on a Ford/Chevy logo or on Jeff Gordon's number/Dale Earnhardt's number...

Yeah I see it alot and yeah some of it looks downright ridiculous...then again some think if you have your arms sleeved in tattoos like Motley Crue it's too much and looks trashy....

But now on the fake pipes thing....lol...that's going a bit overboard....about like the fake turbos you can buy that whistles like a turbo but it's not...aka ricer boy stuff....
