    Dodge Aries....I always hated that thing. Then I saw this video, and couldn't stop giggling...

    I was just reminded of the stupidest car accessory that I have ever seen.

    Years ago NASCAR had a car that had this huge spoiler on the rear trunk, I want to say it was a Roadrunner, the car was raced with this HUGE thing on it and I just laughed when i saw it again recently. The car itself was long and boxy looking-the spoiler made it look really dumb.

    I remember seeing people on the street with the same setup and laughing....

    I'll try to find a picture of it....


    The 1970 Plymouth Superbird.

    I was wrong, Plymouth, the sister company to Dodge, was the one that produced the car.

    Yeah, the nose and spoilers on those cars looked like hell...

    But they set speed and qualifying records all over NASCAR.

    Rule one of engineering..........

    If it's stupid and it works?

    It ain't stupid.

    It ain't stupid.
    On the track it worked wonders, But I always wondered about the practical application for street driving....

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -

    I laugh, therefore? I am.

    If a car can get a reaction from the people who don't like it, what does it say for the people who DID buy one!

    The next thing I hate the most about cars is the spelling/or made up names-

    Impreza? Catera? When I see a name like that I always think of the cop that has to write it on a ticket.

    OMG... they are hideous, aren't they???


    Although, they remind me of an overgrown version of a Honda CRX, which I happen to still love, lol.

    I must have a thing for small, round and odd looking cars. I loved Gremlins, Pacers, CRXs... owned a VW Golf and a GTI. Now a Nissan Versa. LOL! They are all weird looking little round/fat cars!

    I do, however, like that Metropolitan! Is that a Nash?

    That's got the same general look of the Chevrolet BelAir!

    I had never heard of a Holden until today. I like old.
