Yes, the fender is checkered. The guy gave my GF the death look while she was taking the pic and then tried to speed off

The "tried to speed off" is the 2nd pic after a minute of acceleration? He looks slightly further ahead.

Were those the stock steel wheels just painted white? The white rust oleum really compliments the checkered fender. Classy.

Well, at least we know that he has his priorities straight. Checkered fender first, the rest can wait.

No, the only way that would be cool is if it faced forward and actually shot 30mm depleted uranium rounds at the freaking slow Prius' that drive too damn slow in the carpool lane on I66 in Virginia...

Yesterday I was slowing to a stop at a red light that had just turned, and to the right coming out of a Dunkin Donuts was a Dodge Avenger, rattle can black body with rattlecan blue front bumper, spoiler, and mirrors. The front bumper and spoiler were not the OEM ones, but I had zero chance of determining what brand they were knockoffs of, because both were literally hanging in pieces. The front bumper was dragging on level ground, the split open fart can dragged across the road hump. The car wasn't really lowered. He drove just beyond my front fender, and was staring at me as he pimped his way past, and then put his foot down to make lots of obnoxious noise come out the back. I was shaking my head as I noticed that sitting on the opposing lane at the light was now a Civic hatchback, with a rattle can black body and a rattle can blue front bumper, that was also dragging on the ground. I admit to doing a double take before coming to the conclusion that they were part of a club. The Avenger didn't have the driver's door bashed in like the Civic did though. I also got the stare down + acceleration attempt from that guy too.

Not enough time to pull out my phone and get the camera going for it, but given that they were a mile from my house, I'll probably see them again.
