No, they were the little plastic "whoopee whistles" you can buy at the toy store. You blow in them and they have a little impeller that spins up and makes the "fweeeeeeep!" noise like a cartoon.

I saw 3 questionnable modifications while taking a walk outside. Prelude, Civic and an Acura EL.

You mean RL? Because I am not aware of any Acura 'EL' model cars.

Anyway, a week ago I was on vacation in Santa Fe. Gotta love those Mexicans (no offense Mexicans, by the way I love your foods). First, an Accord with a big triangle on the hood that had no vent and was there just to look ugly, add weight, and obstruct vision, as well as flame paint and hubcaps that were spinners.

Then, there was the Neon that was jacked up like a Jeep CJ.

And finally, last but certainly not least, was the Initial-D style AE86 Corolla with a big dent, different colored panels, and collapsed suspension. Given a repaint and new suspension and fixed dent, it would look pretty cool.

But I saw a lot of good cars too-- a '69 Boss Mustang, a Morris Mini, and a weird-looking bike/hotrod combination.

Oh there was an EL till 2005 - it's now replaced by the CSX, I believe.

Oh, there was? Maybe its different in America, Ive seen a lot of cool cars in the 4 days Ive been here that we dont get or are named differently. Usually it confuses me, Im standing there thinking 'WTF is a Pontiac Sunflower? That's a SunFIRE!'

Sunflower I'd like to have that in the sig but it's the limit..

Info: EL wasn't sold in the US, it was Canadian-only.

Now let's get back on topic.

I've finally figured it out, the future of rice is custom exhaust notes!

The stabilizer things look like they are made of cardboard or something, they are all bent and stuff.

EDIT: I saw this at a store close to my house. Pontiac Enzo? Ferrari Sunfire?



I guess it doesnt look TOO bad, but talk about questionable...........he had sports seats for the BACK of the car too..

Don't do it.

More questionable is the "Ram Air" hood that (most likely) isn't hooked up to anything.

WHY DO PEOPLE DO THAT! AARGH!

Well, there is a hole on the other side, if that is what you mean...But then again, it IS a sunfire.

EDIT: The one on the roof doesn't though..

What was that thing? The actual car looks a pretty nice shape.
I believe it was once one of these:



A 1972-ish Renault 12...

Just a guess, but it looks like they modified an MR2 TRD widebody kit for that sunfire.
