... you find yourself using the excuse yo, but you gots twice as many cylindas, du' after EVERY race ... you drive a 4 door 'type R' ... your gumby pants make it hard to shift ... more than 20 of your mods involve sheilding what's actually underneath ... you have stickers that even most asians dont get ... you have stickers for parts you dont have ... you refer to 50hp as the 'big shot' ... your car has so much camber it can drive on its side ... when you drive by, WWII veterans run for shelter ... your exhaust tip diameter is 4 times the inner muffler diameter ... you have 'power by' anything anywhere on a car made by the engine manufacturer ... birds make nests on your spoiler because its taller than the trees ... you sell crack for the image...not the money ... you have 'N/T' polished on the side of car and you dont know what bracket racing is... ... you will only race if the other guy removes four sparkplugs ... you can't race uphills ... you have "All Motor" emblazoned on your rear hatch right next to your 14.50 dial in ... you brag to have nitrous and have a 14.50 dial in ... your exhaust system for your 1.8L is bigger than most Pro-stock cars ... you spent more money on stickers and stripes than your parents paid for your car ... you go to a performance shop and immediately start rummaging through the decal bin ... your tach is bigger than your head ... you have a shiftlight and your car is an automatic ... you refuse to race because it's a "show car" ... your only mods are cut factory springs and a 5" chrome exhaust tip ... at Autocross events you don't participate because you have a drag race setup and at drag events you brag about kicking ass on the autocross. ... you have more lights on the front of your car than the USS Voyager ... you brag about a turbo kit that never seems to get installed. ... your exhaust sounds like a dying Moose ... your bright green $300 air filter is bigger than your engine.

Kevins of the world unite...
So I wasn't too far off the mark with the whole Fast and Furious thing then.
We have a sadly similar situation here in the U.K. There are tragic occurences of cars being modified beyond all reasonable taste, through an awful publication called "Max Power" The generic term we use is "Kevv'ed up"... One of the worst offenders in the modded car scene is the Citroën Saxo, which if you are 19 and have no cash, is a reasonable car. However people do this - oh dear me. The worst crime in my opinion (other than Lexus style light clusters), is when somebody sticks (and I mean uses glue ) a fake Impreza intercooler vent onto their bonnet. I mean come on... thats just daft. What I've never understood is that, by the time they've finished nailing bits of plastic to their cars to make them go faster, they've spent the same as buying something reasonably quick in the first place Jason -- |

I once heard a car like this described as having "all the usual Council Estate Modifications!". (For US readers: Think "Trailer-Park").

Barry ??
Another UK term, maybe east of england origin (think Essex/Cambridgeshire) is "barry boy".
Here's a link to try if you are still confused : http://www.boyracerguide.co.uk/guide.php Phil.

a side remark about "altezza's"...
i agree wholeheartedly with subafreak when he says that the only car they belong on is the toyota altezza (aka lexus is300).. what strikes me as interesting is that a couple of non-toyota manufacturers have picked them up in their regular USDM lineup.. the new nissan altima has 'em.. i believe the latest crappy iteration of the mitsu has a sort of "carbon-fiber-look" altezza as stock taillights.. it's kind of weird, and i really don't like it one bit. the worst is trucks sporting altezza's... just sad. -adam actually, no, that's not the worst.. i saw a GENUINE e36 bmw m3 (fantastic car, wonderfully balanced, razor sharp in nearly all aspects) with altezza's!! honestly!! nothing says "I don't give a f***" like $75 taillights on a $40,000 car... |
