list your most moronic thing you've seen done to a car

-
Not to get racial but I have seen hispanics do some stupid chit, like deflating airbags on a Lincoln Town car and driving it around on 13 inch wheels, it looks like the bumpers are scraping the ground. Stupid? I dunno, i just dont get it, and I know that the ride quality of the car is degraded. There was a guy who had an Olds 88 four door, he bolted a set of heddman hedders to the front fenders. I beleive he was going for that old Cord or Auburn open exhaust out of the cowl look from the 1930's. it looked hideous, and I'm sure the header on the left front was hanging over the double yellow line when he went down the road. yes, that was stupid.
 
any car with rims larger than 15 inches on it. shittiest rid on the road, might as well just buy a buckboard and put a motor in it,

"shittiest on the road" huh?
Just how would you know this, have you done specific testing to prove your statement, or are you just making uninformed and ignorant noise?
 
Can we leave ham radio operators out of this discussion, please?

I have a pic somewhere, I'll need to find it. But I've seen this car twice now coming home from work. Honestly, I'm not sure what it is. Said honda on the back, with lancer on the other said of the trunk, but where you'd expect to see a Honda symbol (or mitsubishi apparently), there was a big Z logo like you'd see on a 350Z. Plus, gotta love the giant wing on the back of a front-wheel drive car. So we have new 2018 Honda Evo Z.
 
seen a cool green dakota last night (went for my phone, but was too late)

the front fenders were rusted out pretty bad
looked jagged and what not
so the owner had rattle canned the fender red, and then rattle canned the jagged sections white
looked just like sharks teeth, i liked it
 
We were at a party one night at the "boat launch" (this has been better than 40 years ago) and a friend of mine decided he wanted a moon roof.

Well, for some reason he had a hatchet in the car (Pontiac Bonneville) he grabbed it and jumped up on the roof like Tarzan and commenced to chopping a hole in the roof. He hacked and he hacked and finally he had his moon roof. Then he jumped down on the hood and planted the hatchet in the nose of the hood for an ornament.

He was a bit confused as to what to do a few days later when it rained.

I do believe alcohol was involved, lol.
 
Few weeks ago, I saw a van with the front bumper missing, exposing the radiator. Zip tied to the front of the van with a hose coming out of it was a gatorade bottle. I assume it was acting as a sort of overflow bottle most likely, maybe washer fluid reservoir who knows. Now, that's not really all that wild. What makes it so amusing is what is written on the side of this business work van. I don't recall the exact logo, but it was something like "performance machining & mechanical fabrication". I later ran into the same van a day later at the shop doing my exhaust work. And no, thankfully they weren't the ones doing my exhaust, lol.
 
I bought a 72 New Yorker, only intending to harvest the drive line for my 52.
After getting it home I noticed it was smoking quite a bit.
The oil looked like it never been changed and just topped off. I commenced to do a change and MMO treatment. The new oil turned black immediately, man that engine was filthy.
With breather off I noticed the carb looked to have caught fire at one point. Oh well I planned on a total rebuild anyhow.
Fast forward many years in a moment of boredom, I decided to try and remove the warped choke plate from that carb to straighten, reassemble, and check the operation, etc.
What I never noticed was some PO had run a small screw in the choke tower to limit the opening travel of the choke! If I noticed that from the git, It may have been a perfectly good runner and not be fogging from the tailpipe.
My machinist, after tear down, told me he would of run it, after the fact, of course.. OH well, water under the bridge...
