Default You want ghetto? The Geo Prizm VENOM GT Sport Type R!!!!

Now this *does* fall in the ghetto category.

Notice the:

Chrome wipers
"custom" headlights
Racing stripe...on wing only
Rusted exhaust tip
Sport, Type-R, GT, and Venom stickers
Hood scoop (I'm sure it's functional)
Taillight covers
Fake chrome wheel covers
Fake drilled red rotors
Matching bicycle by the door


And thanks to Ricecop.com for these images.

I'd like to see that Geo Prizm Venom GT Sport Type R take on this beast!

•one of a kind exhaust system
•incredible traction from those wheels
•in car data communications center (notice the # of antennas)
•gotta love those horns!
•Le Mans caliber suspension
(grabbed these off purehonda)

sigh, no Type R though

on Martha Stewart they tell you to hang a CD like that in an
area where you dont want FLYs around, it scares them away.....(dont ask me how I know that hehe, so maybe its there for a reason OR it his way of decorating for Christmas ???
oh....but no one even mentioned the mobile home in the immediate background......what a minute, I think I saw that
house and car on a episode of Cops! haha.....

and your right, a turbo feels great ! .....turn the boost up
to 25 psi and get a real rush!

Cool "cheapo-moditis" strikes again!!!

Yo! Stop! Please stop! I really shouldn't be laughing this loudly at work!!! I'm at a law firm for God's sake!! ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! I see those types of vehicles ALL DAY LONG here in Los Angeles. I wouldn't automatically catergory them as "ghetto" because I spend a good deal of time in the "ghetto" and most of the rides I see there are actually NICE. There are a few though, like this one for example, that makes me wonder where do these drivers come from where this type of vehicle with these mods is considered "cool" or even "nice looking." I used to think that they had the mentality of "well it costs money so it must be good, right?" but it can't be that. I think it's some kind of sickness, and for lack of a proper term we'll call it "cheapo-moditis"...this is where an individual takes a "cheapo" car and goes overboard with "cheapo" mods. As of now there is no known cure...
