Default WTF Are People Thinking These Days???

I have seen just about every piece of crap lately with these fake side vents from Autozone on their cars. I even saw a Camaro with them and huge chrome wheels. I wish I had my camera with me when I saw it. Im just curious if this is a Cincinnati, OH thing or are other idiots doing this around the country? lol

It also seems to be a trend on all the P.O.S. cars where the wheels are worth more than the car itself. lol They will take anything and throw some 20" and bigger rims on it
