I'm not sure which is stupider. That crap or the Mexican low riders in East LA.

A tie I think.

That kinda looks like my last overnight in Mexico City.

Should have a nice 427 powered Shelby Cobra there to show those kids what a real car is.

I saw parade floats.



I heard chainsaw motors.




Color me unimpressed -- which means you're right, we'll see it on the streets soon.

I'm on a hate kick tonight, so here goes.......

I was thinking the same thing. How many times can you rev-up you're POS go-cart engine(which is probably the reason none of these cars could A:Over-heat B:lay rubber(thank god the one about 80% through the vid did)

I was almost begging to hear a harley just rev the engine at a stop-light to get this out of my head. Some real horsepower of any kind would've been respectful.

Now the styling, wow, talk about a nightmare. How do they even drive these faster than walking speed? Better yet, anyone notice the beauty rivet/attach job they did with their fenders and front air damns? HA!!!!

Ok, I'm done, don't want them to come after me with their crazy glue and spray paint

What was up with those STUPID exhaust pipes??? I'm not an exhaust expert, so please correct me if I'm wrong- but won't an exhaust that long cause a lot of back pressure problems and rob engine performance?

They sounded like a fleet of small rotax engines.... it was scary!!

LOL! Those were some ugly cars. They reminded me of those little RC cars from back in the 80s with those little whiney motors. Like a weed-eater engine or something. That car show looked like a somewhat organzined junkyard.

You're mistaking the fact that those engines don't produce power of any kind, just rampant and chaotic noises. I think those engines are begging for their own deaths at that point!
