Stupidly loud exhaust and crackle pop tunes. Thanks to both aftermarket exhausts are currently being banned all over the place regardless of loudness

Thrush glass packs on my old coronet when I was a kid. They were so loud I had to remove them after a few weeks as my neighbors and law enforcement didn`t like them. LOL

Fart cans on 4 cylinder Civics are today's version of Thrush mufflers on 16 second "muscle cars." Lowered cars = the air shocks of the 70s. Rubber band tires = the N50s that only fit thanks to said air shocks. laugh2

Oh boy...wings, scoops, black wheels, fart cans, the "stance" thing where the wheels are like 10-degrees of negative camber.
Frankly, if I never see another set of polished TT2s, poorly-built rat-rod, flame paint job, lifted 4x4, or ricer, I'd be OK with that.
Blowers through the hoods & tunnel rams on street cars always seemed to me like Posing.
Oh, and lemme add those goofy dummy kids you see at car shows...

Now, get off my lawn, ya punks laugh2

I would go with this one! I got stuck behind one of these idiots and he was going about 30 until a bump then it was down to 10mph. What is the scene of having a lowered car and have to drive 10 mph? Guess they never heard of air bags. Not to mention the angle of the wheels. realcrazy spank

Straight pipes on newer cars that pop for 20 seconds when they let off the gas.
Excessively big wheels and stock brakes.
Custom consoles in old cars that are big and ugly.
Customizing a dash on an old car and making it worse.
Big stereos that ruin your hearing and shake the vehicle apart.
Guys who mess up 68-70 Chargers with body mods thinking they are going to make them look better. Never works out.
LS engines into every GM car out there. Everyone who has one thinks they have 500+ rear wheel horsepower even though they pulled it from a wrecked GM pickup and didn't do anything to it other than degreasing it.
Most diesel truck exhaust mods. Not the most pleasant sounding engines to begin with so who really wants to hear more of it.

Tweed interiors. I know that's going to upset the geezer rodder crowd, but tweed interiors have always been hot garbage.
